Economically efficient flood protection standards for the Netherlands
Within the context of the Dutch Delta Programme, economically efficient flood protection standards for the entire Netherlands were calculated using a recently developed methodology for cost-benefit analysis and up-to-date insights into flood risk assessment. This results in economically efficient flood protection standards for different parts of the Netherlands that significantly differ from cu...

متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Flood Protection
Many regions in the world are protected against flooding by a dike, which may be either natural or artificial. We deal with a model for finding the optimal heights of such a dike in the future. It minimizes the sum of the investments costs for upgrading the dike in the future and the expected costs due to flooding. The model is highly nonlinear, nonconvex, and infinite-dimensional. Despite this...
متن کاملArmada: a Model for an Evolving Database
Soon we face a common repository size scaling into petabytes, filled with data that needs to be stored and processed. However, the rapidly improving technology cannot keep up with the data growth rate, hence data processing becomes more and more an expensive and time-consuming task. This problem is of major concern, since data processing is a core process for many businesses and applications. Y...
متن کاملSecurity Goals and Evolving Standards
With security standards, as with software, we cannot expect to eliminate all security flaws prior to publication. Protocol standards are often updated because flaws are discovered after deployment. The constraints of the deployments, and variety of independent stakeholders, mean that different ways to mitigate a flaw may be proposed and debated. In this paper, we propose a criterion for one mit...
