Delft Software
Days
2015
Simulation software and integration
platforms have to cope with ever-
increasing amounts of data. That is
why model-data integration and data
science will be centre stage at the Delft
Software Days 2015. The models,
the data and our top expertise will be
brought together in the interactive
data research laboratory (iD-Lab) at
Deltares and displayed using the latest
visualisation technologies.
The new Delft3D Flexible Mesh 2016
software will also be launched at the
Next Generation Hydro Software
conference. The strength of this new
software is the integration, resulting
in a simulation package for use in
hydrological, hydrodynamic, morpho
logical and water-quality research.
The Delft Software Days this year will
be from 26 October to 6 November.
With visitors from more than fifty
countries, this will be the opportunity
for developers and users to exchange
knowledge and experience. There will
be numerous conferences, work
shops, user meetings, courses and
presentations about the software
developed by Deltares.

NUSDeltares, the alliance
between the National Univer
sity of Singapore and Deltares,
has won the DutchCham
Winsemius Award in the water
category. The prize is awarded
annually to a prestigious
organisation in the water
industry. The condition is that
the organisation must use
resources fromboth Singapore
and the Netherlands to bring
about strong growth in activi-
ties, innovative strategies and
market leadership in this sec
tor. The jury consisted of Mr
Khoo Teng Chye (Operational
Director, Centre for Liveable
Cities), Harry Seah (Technical
Director, Public Utilities Board)
and Lennart Silvis (General
Director, NWP).
The Engineering Infra
structure on Soft Soil course
(25 and 26 September) is
the successor to the Delft3D
course at the UFRJ in Rio de
Janeiro last year. Deltares
colleagues Bruno Coelho and
Suzanne van Eekelen will
be talking about solutions
for building roads, railways,
navigation channels and
ports on soft soils. Deltares
expects two fruitful days
with a central focus on
sharing knowledge. The
Netherlands has extensive
experience with all sorts of
innovative solutions such as
piled embankments, models
for long-term predictions
of settlement, the dynamic
behaviour of soft soils,
light filling materials and
geotextiles. Brazil has its
own challenges and design
approach, and so Deltares
can also learn a lot.
