- The standard format for talks is the beamer style used also in the lectures. If for some reason you still prefer to use another format for the talk, then at least the tex-source (<venue>-talk.tex - see below) should be written in a way compatible with the beamer style. Eg, you should not use absolute lengths that are not compatible with the paper size used by beamer. (In general it is not a good style to use absolute lengths to specify the size and placement of objects, you should instead use relative sizes, eg ".2\textwidth".)
Repositories
All files needed for creating a publication are stored in shared repositories (git). When you start writing a paper, start in a shared repository; don't start in your personal account to migrate to the repository "later".
The bib Repository
- The bib repository is part of the Resources project, and is referred to as "rt bib repository" or just "bib repository".
...
Note: to use this, you must have the bib repository on your PATH.
The latex Repository
- The latex repository is also part of the Resources project and contains some latex style files shared by the group, eg "cau-rt.sty" (mainly for papers), "beamercustom.sty" (mainly for presentations), "lstcustom.sty" (included by the former files) and related files, and is referred to as "rt latex repository" or just "latex repository".
Local Copies of the Repositories
- Everybody's local copies of the papers and bib repostories should reside in the same directory; ie, from within the papers repository, the bib repository can be reached with "../bib", and vice versa. One should be able to rely on this, eg when including the Makefile in the bib-repository (see above/below).

This contains student theses (Bachelor/Master/Studien/Diplomarbeiten).
For the formatting of "DiplomarbeitenMasterarbeiten", see eg. Bell06, Fuhrmann05Wechselberg15. In particular:
- The entry type is MastersThesis
- school = {Christian-Albrechts-Universit{\"a}t zu KielKiel University, Department of Computer Science}
- type = {Diploma Master thesis}
- If the work is not submitted yet, add a note "To appear"; otherwise, add the month accordingly to the date of submission.
- There is no note "unpublished".
...
This file contains references used by the group, excluding publications and student works produced by the group itself - these should go to pub-*.bib or rts-arbeiten.bib. In case you have an electronic version of a referenced paper, and that paper was not trivially available on the web, you should consider to not just add a bib entry, but also to store the paper in the group's Digital Library .
Language and text coding
...
- Instead of "Institut für Informatik" use "Department of Computer Science"
- Instead of "Technischer Bericht" use "Technical Report"
- BUT: Instead of "Christian-Albrechts-Universit{\"a}t zu Kiel" is not translated (and please don't omit the "zu")use "Kiel University"
To write german umlauts and other special characters use the standard tex coding i.e. {\"a}, {\"o}, {\"u}, {\ss}
