Privacybewarende berekening in de cloud KU Leuven
The traditional computing paradigm is experiencing a fundamental shift: organizations no longer completely control their own data, but instead hand it to external untrusted parties - cloud service providers, for processing and storage. There currently exist no satisfactory approach to protect data during computation from cloud providers and from other users of the cloud.
PRACTICE has assembled the key experts throughout Europe and will ...
Gepersonaliseerde behandeling voor Cystic Fibrosis-patiënten met ultra-zeldzame CFTR-mutaties (en daarbuiten). KU Leuven
In our HIT-CF project, we aim to bring personalised disease modifying therapies to cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with ultra-rare CFTR mutations, who could otherwise never get access to such treatment. Once we have proven our unique concept, the CF community can easily extend our state-of-the-art methodology to all CF patients such that HIT-CF will impact the entire CF field.
We will achieve our goals by means of a randomised, ...
Servicegericht alomtegenwoordig netwerkgestuurd geluid KU Leuven
The SOUNDS European Training Network (ETN) revolves around a new and promising paradigm coined as Service- Oriented, Ubiquitous, Network-Driven Sound. Inspired by the ubiquity of mobile and wearable devices capable of capturing, processing, and reproducing sound, the SOUNDS ETN aims to bring audio technology to a new level by exploiting network-enabled cooperation between devices. We envision the next generation of audio devices to be capable ...
Conversationele mensbewuste technologie voor optimalisatie KU Leuven
Industry and society are increasingly automating processes, which requires solving constrained optimisation problems. This includes vehicle routing problems in transportation, scheduling of tasks in electricity demand-response programs, rostering of personnel and more. However, the solutions found by state-of-the-art constraint programming solvers are often found to not match user expectations. Solutions are regularly critiqued by domain ...
Vormgeven aan functionele ecosystemen van de toekomst KU Leuven
Accelerating climate change is moving ecosystems rapidly beyond the bounds of historical variability. Many of the traditional conservation approaches trying to maintain a status quo are no longer effective. Rather than resisting change, we need to guide transforming ecosystems towards preferred ecological outcomes. Assisted migration, the active translocation of species to mimic range expansion under climate change, is a widely proposed ...
Open Science om de reproduceerbaarheid in de wetenschap te vergroten KU Leuven
Embedding reproducibility in the strategy and design of research should be regarded as a key precondition to research quality. Unfortunately, only a fraction of published studies can be reproduced due to e.g science’s need to be continuously innovative, pressure to publish, a lack of transparent reporting, and career assessments based on quantity rather than quality.
While over the past decade many interventions to improve ...

Globale systemen snelle beoordelingshulpmiddelen via beperkingen functionele talen KU Leuven
The making of policies coping with Global Systems is a process that necessarily involves stakeholders from diverse disciplines, each with their own interests, constraints and objectives. People play a central role in such collective decision making and the quest for solutions to a problem generally intertwines its very specification.
Simulators can assist in this process provided they employ adequate high-level modelling to separate the ...
Declassifying the Classics:Rhetoric, Technology, and Performance, 1750 – 1850 Orpheus Instituut
“Haydn, the orator; Beethoven, the philosopher.” These labels have their roots in early 19th-century music criticism. They encapsulate a paradigm shift between an old way of thinking about music as a rhetorical act and a new view of the musical work as independent art. As we perform repertoires by various composers of 1750–1850, we place ourselves at the traditional end of this shift, and focus on rhetorical instinct even in a composer as ...
