As software systems increase in complexity, conventional monitoring methods struggle to provide a comprehensive overview or identify performance issues, often missing unexpected problems. Observability, however, offers a holistic approach,…
The robot manipulation ecosystem currently faces issues with integrating open-source components and reproducing results. This limits the ability of the community to benchmark and compare the performance of different solutions to one another…
The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) is a next-generation radio telescope which uses thousands of stationary dipoles to observe celestial phenomena. These dipoles are grouped in various 'stations' which are centred on the Netherlands with…
Laser scanning (also known as Light Detection And Ranging) has been widely applied in various application. As part of that, aerial laser scanning (ALS) has been used to collect topographic data points for a large area, which triggers to…

The LOw Frequency ARray, LOFAR, will have the sensitivity, bandwidth, frequency range and processing power to revolutionise low-frequency pulsar studies. We present results of simulations that indicate that a LOFAR survey will find…
Pulsar timing is a foundational part of pulsar research to triage the most interesting systems and to characterise properties (rotational or otherwise) of the population of these extreme objects. Due to the efficiency of a number of…
The introduction of infrared arrays for lunar occultations (LO) work and the improvement of predictions based on new deep IR catalogues have resulted in a large increase in the number of observable occultations. We provide the means for an…
The amount of remote sensing data available to applications is constantly growing due to the rise of very-high-resolution sensors and short repeat cycle satellites. Consequently, tackling computational complexity in Earth Observation…
LOFAR (the Low Frequency Array) is the largest radio telescope in the world for observing low frequency radio emission from 10 to 240 MHz. In addition to its use as an interferometric array, LOFAR is now routinely used to detect cosmic ray…
The previous generation of astronomical instruments tended to consist of single receivers in the focal point of one or more physical reflectors. Because of this, most astronomical data sets were small enough that the raw data could easily…
The next generation of radio surveys is going to be transformative for cosmology and other aspects of our understanding of astrophysics. Realistic simulations of radio observations are essential for the design and planning of radio surveys.…
Large scale monitoring systems enable efficient field level data collection at high temporal and spatial resolutions. One example is the deployment of such systems in pipeline infrastructure applications which have to be monitored for leaks…
