New ways of scholarly publishing
This minisymposium brought new ways of scholarly publishing to the attention of TU/e researchers. Various issues surrounding enhanced (or executable or adaptive) publications were discussed.
Enhanced publications
Enhanced publications are becoming ever more popular in many fields of science and technology. Enhanced publications are publications – usually textual – that have been enhanced with additional (supplementary) material. The supplementary material may consist, for example, of research data, illustrative images or video, metadata sets, or post-publication data such as comments or rankings. Adding underlying data and models to a paper makes it easier to verify and reproduce, and to re-use results of research while the option of changing post-publication data allows an enhanced publication to develop over the course of time.
Program
There were four presentations from respectively:
Together the four speakers presented an overview of new and exciting ways of academic publishing. The presentations were followed by discussion.

Jeroen Sondervan is humanities publisher at Amsterdam University Press. He studies Media & Information Management at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam (HvA) and Media & Culture at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). As well as publishing paper books, he works on online projects, Open Access and e-journals at AUP. For the Journal of Archeology in the Low Countries he is currently involved in a long-term project concerning ‘enriched publications’ in online scientific journals.

Pieter Van Gorp [http://is.ieis.tue.nl/staff/pvgorp/research/] is an assistant professor in the TU/e Information Systems Group. He is investigating the applicability of graph transformation to standard compliant model-driven engineering since 2002. His research interests include model transformation, business process modeling and empirical software engineering. To support this research, he has contributed to MoTMoT tool and more recently to SHARE. Moreover, he has taught courses on modeling and transformation, supported by tools such as CPNtools and AToM3. He participated in the organization of national workshops since 2003 and he has co-organized international workshops such as OCL 2008, GraBaTs 2008-2009, Fujaba Days 2009 and TTC 2010-2011.

Paul De Bra [http://wwwis.win.tue.nl/~debra/] is full professor in the TU/e Information Systems Group (Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science). He studied mathematics and computer science at the University of Antwerp and joined the TU/e in December 1989. He researches adaptive (personalized) information systems and services, with applications in e-learning, e-culture, e-business and e-entertainment. He headed the EU GRAPPLE project that combined learning management systems with adaptive learning environments. He is president of User Modeling Inc. and scientific directory of the Dutch Research School SIKS on Information and Knowledge Systems.

Sjoerd Miesen (born 1963) studied Chemical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology. In 1994 he gained his PhD at the subdepartment of Organic Chemistry. In 1999 he became faculty librarian in the department of Chemical Engineering. He currently holds the position of information specialist and is closely involved in the development of digital information resources at the TU/e Information Expertise Center (IEC). As Repository Manager he shares responsibility for managing the METIS research data system, the TU/e Repository and the TU/e Employee Pages.
