Heezen, M.J.M. (author), Bouma, G.K. (author), Vonk Noordegraaf, D.M. (author)For urban planning challenges, such as increasing scarcity of space, hubs can pose a solution. In this paper we define hubs as an interchange, transhipment and/or node consisting of different activities, services and facilities. Hubs have the potential to contribute to urban challenges concerning mobility, logistics, livability, sustainability, ...conference paper 2022

Diran, D.D.D. (author), Hoekstra, M. (author), van Veenstra, A.F.E. (author)The potential of the use of data to help improve policymaking is increasingly recognized by governments, especially to address societal challenges. One of those societal challenges is the energy transition, which happens for a large part at the local government level. However, within the literature little is known about which type of...conference paper 2022

Georgieva, I.N. (author), Lazo, C.B. (author), Timan, T. (author), van Veenstra, A.F.E. (author)In the field of AI ethics, after the introduction of ethical frameworks and the evaluation thereof, we seem to have arrived at a third wave in which the operationalisation of ethics is central. Operationalisation is required, since ethics frameworks are often not suited to be used by data scientists in the development of AI-based services or...article 2022

Feenstra, M. (author), Middlemiss, L. (author), Hesselman, M. (author), Straver, K. (author), Herrero, S.T. (author)Energy poverty is emerging as a national agenda in the Netherlands. Local authority leadership and action on this agenda, and European Union reporting requirements around the energy transition have aligned to create an opportunity to establish a national agenda on this issue. Early action on energy poverty by local authorities stemmed from their...article 2021

Hofman, W.J. (author), Migeotte, J. (author), Labare, M. (author), Rukanova, B. (author), Tan, Y.H. (author)With the rise of data analytics use in government, government organizations are starting to explore the possibilities of using business data to create further public value. This process, however, is far from straightforward: key questions that governments need to address relate to the quality of this external data and the value it brings. In the...conference paper 2021

Pileggi, P. (author), Lazovik, E. (author), Broekhuijsen, J. (author), Borth, M. (author), Verriet, J. (author)Digital twins run concurrently with the assets and systems they mirror. They offer real-time execution of advanced control schemes, e.g., for smart buildings, but also various analysis tasks, e.g., for predictive maintenance that ensures resilience. In this, they need to cope with change: The physical twins they mirror operate in a highly...conference paper 2020

(author)Organizations increasingly collaborate in digital ecosystems, whilst being aware that data is becoming a key asset. They require improved data control capabilities that prevent their shared data from being misused. Currently, such capabilities are typically realized as situation-specific closed ecosystem solutions in a 'hub-model' approach. This...conference paper 2020
