Seminar Scientific Computing

Seminar Scientific Computing - WS 2006/2007 (INF4092)

Important Dates

The institutes of computer science introduce their seminar themes in a central presentation. This presentation will happen

on Monday, the 17'th of July 2006, at 18:30 o'clock in room PK 11.1.

The allocation of seminar themes is done via an online-allocation-system. If you got a seminar theme via online-allocation-system, contact the organiser immediately, see section "Contact".

If a seminar theme is still freely available (nobody has chosen it till yet) after allocation, you can apply for it till to the 30'th of October 2006, see section "Contact".

Usually the seminar takes place Thursdays between 16:45-18:30 o'clock in the seminar room RZ012 of the computing center.

General Information

If you participate the seminar at the Institute of Scientific Computing, the following conditions are applied to you.

You have a continuous period of three months to work on the seminar topic. The start of this period is fixed at the first meeting. You will be assigned an assistant from the institute, who is the first address for questions relating to the seminar.

You have to produce a paper and presentation foils. Deliveries shall be made at the corresponding deadlines, see below. At the end you present the topic in a seminar talk. The duration of the talk is approximatly 30 minutes. A small discussion up to 15 minutes is attached to your talk.

Both, paper and foils, have to be made using the LaTeX framework of the institute, see section "Download". Everything has to be written in your own words, either in german or english. You inform your assigned assistant continuously about the current state of your work, this is your responsibility.

Each student participating in the seminar has to be present at all seminar presentations.

Deadlines for deliveries:

  • delivery of the structure of the paper
  • delivery of half-finished paper
  • delivery of final paper
  • delivery of presentation foils

Detailed dates will be defined at the first meeting.

Time needed to participate in a seminar

The time one needs for a seminar is nearly equivalent with the time one needs for a 2 hours lecture with excercises and homeworks (4 credits). One credit is equivalent to 30 hours of work, i.e. for a seminar (4 credits) one have to calculate 120 hours of work (3 weeks (Mo-Fr) with 8 hours per day).

What is to be expected?

Typically you get a research paper. We expect that you go through the material independently, e.g. doing a small literature review which means finding additional literature and working trough them.

As a result an elaboration which summarises your theme has to be written. This paper is the source for the presentation foils.

Other requirements are presented in section "General Information".
