Developing knowledge for real world problem scenarios : using 3D gaming technology within a problem-based learning framework
Problem-based learning is an instructional strategy that emphasises active and experiential learning through problem-solving activity. Using gaming technologies to embed this approach in a three-dimensional (3D) simulation environment provides users with a dynamic, responsive, visually engaging, …

Extending the Geographic Information Systems Research Agenda by Studying the Spatial Dimension of the Complex Real-World Problem of Homelessness
… is well suited to the study of complex real-world problems such as homelessness due to its inherently transdisciplinary nature. The second chapter in this dissertation investigates the claim that the spatial analysis methods used in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), beyond basic mapping, …

The stochastic air traffic flow management rerouting problem
… being modeled stochastically. To overcome problems with tractability, we apply a Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition and present an efficient method for solving it. The decomposed formulation is shown to be tractable for real-world problem, and it generates up to a ten percent reduction in cost …
