Lecture Objectives and Contents

Students in the seminar will broaden their understanding of a given research topic for which they have to conduct a literature survey, write a survey paper, and give a presentation.
The seminar mimics the workflow of a conference: After paper submission, a review process follows in which the participants are directly included. Meaningful comments from the reviews need to be adressed for the final version of the paper. At the end of the semester all papers have to be presented and discussed at a common conference that is mandatory for all participants. All statements without warranty.

Seminar Kickoff-Session on April 7^th 4 pm via Zoom, where you can ask us any questions. The link to the session and to the Moodle, will be shared via Email to all enrolled students. The latter can also be found in STiNE.

Materials

All material is provided via a Moodle.
Registration password for the Moodle will be provided during the Kickoff-Session.
