Communication and Distributed Systems

Seminar Spring Semester 2019

Organization

Prerequisite

Basic knowledge in computer networks as e.g., obtained in the bachelor lecture Computernetzwerke.

Target Group

BA/MSc students, Ph.D. students, and Postdoc of the group.

Content

The seminar is composed of presentations about current research topics that are investigated in the context of Ph.D./Postdoc research activities.

Remarks

  • The seminar is composed of presentations about current research topics that are investigated in the context of bachelor, master or Ph.D. works. BA/MSc students may take the seminar as "Proseminar". In this case, the students must give at least one talk and a topic must be agreed with the seminar supervisor beforehand.
  • For BA/MSc students who need credits: the participation of 75 % of the seminar talks is needed to qualify for ECTS points (For instance, with probably 12 seminars this will require 9 attended ones). Excuses for important reasons (according to article 23 RSL) are accepted, proof required in such case.
  • For each seminar you do not attend, you can compensate as follows: search for each seminar talk 3 journal or conference papers (in either IEEExplore or ACM digital library) that are related to the seminar talk. This means 6 papers for a normal seminar with 2 talks. Please summarize each paper on one page using Springer LNCS format. The report should be sent to Prof. Braun within 1 week after the last seminar talk.
  • Presenters may announce their preferred presentations dates to the coordinator. Presentation titles should be announced prior to the presentation. After the presentation, the presenters may forward their slides to the coordinator for publication on this website. Please use the Uni Bern PPT template to prepare your presentation.

  • Please limit seminar talks to 25-30 minutes such that there is enough time for discussion/questions (10-15 min).

  • It is recommended to all group members to attend the seminar to see what kind of research is done in the group.
