Presentation

Each participant is required to give a 20 min presentation about a selected topic. A template for the presentation slides can be found here.

Report

Each participant is required to prepare a report of 4-5 pages for the other participants of the seminar. A latex template for the report can be found here. The report has to be submitted one week prior to the presentation in order to allow for a proper preparation to your fellow students.

Material

• Presentation Template

• LaTeX Report Template

Schedule

The seminar starts with an introduction meeting. Each topic will shortly be presented in this meeting. Participants are free to choose one of these topics as own assignment (this option is via until a defined deadline). Otherwise, topics will be randomly assigned.

A lot of scientific publications can be found online.

The following list may help you to find some further information on your particular topic:

• Microsoft Academic Search
• Google Scholar
• CiteSeer
• CiteULike
• Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies

Some publishers:

• ScienceDirect (Elsevier Journals)
• IEEE Journals
• ACM Digital Library
