Sustainable Solutions in a Digital World: A Socio-Technical Approach to Blockchain-based Information Systems KU Leuven
In the face of escalating climate change and environmental degradation, this doctoral project positions itself at the intersection of technology, sustainability and business practices. Its central focus revolves around sustainable information systems (IS) designed to promote environmental sustainability, with a specific emphasis on Blockchain technology. This research aims to shed light on how digital technologies offer viable solutions to ...
AM3BIT : A multi-stakeholder multi-modelling multi-representation based approach to developing information systems KU Leuven
Successful software development requires involving a large number of stakeholders in the development process. Given the large variety of backgrounds of the stakeholders it is important to offer each of them a suitable representation of the software design artefacts. While UML is today often used as universal and general-purpose language, it is crucial to move towards a multi-stakeholder perspective relying on multi-modelling and ...

Reformulating Information Systems and Business Innovation through Data Privacy KU Leuven
The present-day world is constantly changing through technological innovation. We undoubtedly live in the big data era, where vast amounts of data is generated through smart applications and services that are used and controlled by the wider public. However, the exploitation of data in terms of sharing and processing has remained hidden from the citizens. Towards this end, a new set of rules was designed to give EU citizens more control over ...
Geographic information systems (GIS) for the benefit of public health - development and implementation of automated time-space models Ghent University
The rise of the automobile in the post-World War era has brought the concepts of transportation and mobility for personal use to the foreground. What started as a luxury
good for the more well-off, swiftly evolved to a common good for the masses due to the combination of an ever-growing demand and vast improvements in the industrial production chain. The increased use of private motorized vehicles has strongly altered the built ...
Combining Time of Flight (TOF) and Anatomical Information for Accurate Attenuation Correction in Hybrid Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Systems. KU Leuven
In positron emission tomography (PET), a quantitative reconstruction of the tracer distribution can only be obtained after an accurate correction for photon attenuation. Current PET scanners are usually combined with a CT scanner, and the CT image is used for attenuation correction. Recently, we were able to show that when time of flight (TOF) information is available, the TOF emission data can determine the tracer distribution up to a scale. ...
Predictive modeling of spatiotemporal phenomena in Geographic Information Systems using Machine Learning Ghent University
The growing wealth of data on spatiotemporal phenomena allows for new modeling approaches in Geographical
Information Science. In this context, this doctoral mandate will examine the usefulness of machine learning techniques --U+2010 a data--U+2010driven approach for predictive modeling. The usefull techniques for this challenge will be identified, ported to the GIS--U+2010framework and tested using data from a mass--U+2010event. ...
Modernisation of Agriculture through more efficient and effective Agricultural Knowledge and Information Systems Ghent University
An Agricultural Knowledge and Information System (AKIS) improves the flow of knowledge. In this context, the EU-funded modernAKIS project will build and foster a European network of at least 1 000 key AKIS actors, including AKIS coordination bodies, from all EU Member States. They will serve as linchpins in the transformation of the AKIS systems towards more effective governance and modernisation of the European agri-food sector. The project ...
Study on possible ways to improve efficiency in the exchange of police information between Member States, by setting up a European Police Records Index Systems Ghent University
This report reflects the outcome of the study on possible ways to enhance efficiency in the exchange of police records between the Member States by setting up a European Police Records Index System (EPRIS). Its main objective was to investigate the need and possible approaches, in particular the establishment of a European Police Records Index System (EPRIS), for identifying whether police records related information is available in one or ...
