Page History

The purpose of this seminar is to independently and scientifically work on a topic on synchronous languages and related. The goal is to summarize the topic in an oral presentation and a written elaboration in form of a paper. Another purpose of this seminar is to practice working in structured and time-driven workflows (e.g. for conferences or workshops). Moreover, both of these aspects are a good preparation for working on your thesis. We have many theses regarding these topics available; contact us if you are interested in that.

Many of the links do only work in the university network. Through the usage of a VPN or a remote session to the terminal server, those are also accessible from home. If any problems occur feel free to contact us.

Schedule

The Final Presentations

Currently, it is unclear how the talks will take place. This will be influenced by the development of the pandemic. We can think of recorded videos or a live conference or other alternatives. 

Usually, the presentation of the prepared topic is held during a block seminar. The attendance at the seminar day is mandatory. Every attending person receives the proceedings of the current semester.

Papers, Talks, Review

This seminar includes creating a paper, a talk, and two reviews.

...

The paper should provide an overview of the chosen topic. It should be written in a style that late bachelor student can understand it. The paper should be 6 (master) or 4 (bachelor) pages long (including bibliography), not more not less, and it should use the ACM LaTeX-style (more details below). We advise you to read the writing advice for writing a thesis. You can write your paper either in English or German.

Talk

The talk should be 40 minutes (master) or 25 minutes (bachelor) long. This is followed by 5 minutes of questions. The slides should contain page numbers to allow the participants to ask specific questions after the talk. It would be great to include a short tool demo if your topic includes some concrete implementation.

...

• Think about whether you want to write your paper in German or English and make use to use the corresponding ACM-style.
• Graphics If you use graphics from your original paper, you should not just be screenshotted and added to your paper. Ideally, you create your own graphic add a screenshotted of the pdf your paper. Try to use the image from the original paper by exporting them, including the pdf directly (\inlcudegraphics[page=... trim=...]{*.pdf}), or by recreating the image by yourself (ideally as a vector graphic) to have good quality graphics. This way you should get a result that is not pixelated or at least not worse than the original.
• A paper always consists of an introduction, at least one main chapter, and a conclusion.
