Announcements

• The seminar is now complete, grades are available in TUMonline.

Requirements

In this Master Seminar (formerly Hauptseminar), each student is asked to select one topic from the list below. In order to successfully complete the seminar, participants are required to:

• Present the selected paper to the other participants (30 minutes presentation 15 minutes question). Use the CAMP templates for Power Point: CAMPmaster.pot and CAMPmasterstandardfonts.pot, or Latex: CAMP-latex-template.zip:

• Submit a written handout (8 pages maximum). Please download the llncs2e.zip latex format.
• Attend all seminar sessions and participate.

Each presentation is followed by a discussion and everyone is encouraged to actively participate. The handout must include all references used and must be written completely in your own words. Copy and paste wont be tolerated. Both handout and presentation have to be done in English.

Registration

Registration is done via TUMonline. Topic selection happened in the preliminary meeting on Feb. 3rd, 2012.
