Open Access publishing at Springer as a member of TU/e

Today I was very pleased when I submitted my manuscript to Springer. I received the following notice:

Open Access at no cost to authors due to institutional arrangement
You’ve identified yourself as affiliated to the Eindhoven University of Technology. A special arrangement between Springer-SBM and the Eindhoven University of Technology – Netherlands allows all articles from affiliated authors to be published as Open Access, and any payments for Open Access will be automatically covered by that arrangement.

It is great that the Universities in the Netherlands have come to an agreement with Springer!

Using The Metaphysics Of Quality To Define Design Science

I published a paper entitled “Using The Metaphysics Of Quality To Define Design Science” and on May 15th, 2009 I was invited to presented the paper at the University of Venice. They recorded the speech and I merged it with the slides. I hope you find it useful.

Pictures from the building of the CAVE and the New Technology Conference 2009

We presented our LIVE HISTORY movie on October 28th, 2009 at the New Technology Conference in the ING House. Below you can see some impressions of the building process and the final presentation. We were able to borrow the medieval costumes from the Historisch Openluchtmuseum Eindhoven.

Live History movie for the Nationaal Historisch Museum

The Nationaal Historisch Museum (NHM) asked us to envision how visitors could experience the upcoming NHM museum. We spend three months on developing a concept, preparing the technology and finally creating a demonstration video. We hope that you enjoy the movie. More background information is available on our Live History website. I would like to thank Billy Schonenberg, Alex Juarez and Aya Bartneck for their great efforts.
