Adaptable Network Systems
… gap by investigating materials for adaptable network ensembles, posing the question: how can network architecture be designed to balance structural and functional robustness with reconfigurability, and how can biological strategies inspire such designs? To explore this, two …

Adaptable structural surfaces
The framework for this thesis are the lightweight constructions that have been developed during the 20th century. As part of this thesis, a prototype for a column has been developed, that is a hybrid construction out of a lattice and surface structure. It follows the principle of adaptability …

An adaptable urban dwelling
… spatial and economic requirements over time. The adaptable dwelling is intended to respond to change as a fundamental condition of the human life-cycle, and offers choices to its inhabitants when changes occur. The adaptable dwelling is intended to provide an alternative to either moving as a …

Adaptable optimization : theory and algorithms
… revealed sequentially, and future decisions are adaptable, i.e., they depend functionally on the information revealed in the past. Such problems arise in applications where actions are repeated over a time horizon (e.g., portfolio management, or dynamic scheduling problems), or that have multiple …

Corrective Evolution of Adaptable Process Models
Modeling business processes is a complex and time-consuming task, which can be simplified by allowing process instances to be structurally adapted at runtime, based on context (e.g., by adding or deleting activities). The process model then no longer needs to include a handling procedure for every …

Novel Rubber Nanocomposites with Adaptable Mechanical Properties
This work mainly focuses on the synthesis and characterization of new elastomer nanocomposites by hydrogen bonding interaction between reinforcing agents and the rubber matrix. On one hand it was expected that the filler agglomeration is reduced, and on the other hand this specific interaction …

FLUX : adaptable architecture for a dynamic society
(cont.) Perhaps a more functional architecture that is kinetic, transformable, capable of disengagement, and reassembly could keep up with the occupants' need to have multiple programs taking place in one space, maintain economy, and alleviate the over use of energy and resources.

Evaluation Toolkit for Adaptable Automatic Gaze Estimation
Cognitive development researchers have long been interested in understanding how infants learn to perceive and understand the world [11, 9, 7]. One technique for investigating infant cognition involves presenting stimuli and observing the direction and duration of their gaze [5]. Experiments of …

Adaptable user systems in the office landscape
Offices exist in a changing world. They need to be able to adapt to these changes. Present office equipment (furniture, electrical power and communication distribution systems, and lighting) maintain the office in a state of permanence. The goal of this thesis was to redesign present equipment and …
