Our actual internet landscape is dominated by a handful of private actors we use on a daily basis: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, amongst others. These actors, in constant search of an optimization of their data transmission processes and user experiences, ...
Architectural integration of solar technologies in the built environment is a challenge: one of the key tasks is the identification of homogeneous zones of intervention as a function of the solar energy potential and “criticity”, a combination of the socio ...
Mobility is a central aspect of our life, and our movements reveal much more about us than simply our whereabouts. In this thesis, we are interested in mobility and study it from three different perspectives: the modeling perspective, the information-theor ...
