Deux siècles de peurs et plaisirs de la table Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Après la peur de manquer apparaît une nouvelle peur: celle de manger du corrompu, du malsain, la peur de la malbouffe: ce petit livre décrit l'évolution des peurs "de la table" aux XIXe et XXe siècles, allant de la peur de la faim à la peur de l'obésité.
Using SOIQ(D) to Formalize Semantics within one Semantic Decision Table Vrije Universiteit Brussel
As an extension to decision tables, Semantic Decision Tables (SDTs)
are considered as a powerful tool of modeling processes in various domains. An
important motivation of consuming SDTs is to easily validate a decision table
during the Validation and Verification (V&V) processes. An SDT contains a set of
formal agreements called commitments. They are grounded on a domain ontology
and considered as a result from ...

Competitive balance trends in elite table tennis: The Olympic Games and World Championships 1988-2016 Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Competitive balance is important because it enhances outcome uncertainty and therefore it promotes spectator interest, and encourages government investment in a sport. This article analyses the distribution of gold medals, medals, medal points and top eight points amongst nations in table tennis from 1988 to 2016 at the Olympic Games and the World Championships respectively. A normalised version of the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and a ...
A Self-Configuring Semantic Decision Table for Monitoring an Ontology-based Data Matching Strategy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
a semantic decision table (SDT), which is a decision table annotated with an ontology (or ontologies), is a means to ensure the completeness and correctness of a decision table. It can be used to store the parameters of a matching strategy. In principle, SDTs can be used to configure any kinds of strategies, functions or algorithm. In this paper, we use an ontology-based data matching strategy, which has been developed and used for competency ...
Towards Directly Applied Ontological Constrains in a Semantic Decision Table Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Decision tables have been a powerful tool for business people since a long time ago. A semantic decision table (SDT) is a decision table properly annotated with domain ontologies. It contains a set of formal agreements called commitments, which is a result from group decision making processes involving a community of business stakeholders. In this paper, we focus on validation and verification issues (V&V) for SDT. In particular, we deal ...
Exploring the Role of Junior Success in Predicting Senior Success-A Case study in Elite Table Tennis. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Little is known about the extent to which junior success can be used to predict senior success. Some studies have demonstrated a minor relationship between athletes’ junior success and senior success. However, these studies mainly focus on successes that athletes achieved at junior competitions. Successes that players achieved at international senior competitions but at a junior age have been relatively ignored. This study aims to explore the ...
The table placement problem: a research challenge at the EWI 2007 Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The table placement problem consists in deciding how to seat the participants attending a social lunch or dinner so that the total social benefit of the event is maximum. Four different approaches are presented: a linear model, a bin packing problem, a quadratic assignment problem and a greedy heuristic. The different formulations are computationally compared over a set of artificial instances as well as on the real data for the EURO Winter ...
Shaking table tests on unreinforced load-bearing masonry frames Universiteit Hasselt
The last years have seen an increasing interest of engineers for unreinforced masonry structures, leading to strong improvements in the knowledge of their behaviour in usual conditions. Further investigations are however still required about their seismic behaviour. Indeed, the current design rules for such situations are commonly admitted as rather conservative, limiting thus the use of these structures, included in low or moderate seismic ...
