Although, there are no lectures with attendance at the CAU the following applies: this seminar will take place and start online on the 7th of April at 3 pm with the kick-off meeting. The kick-off meeting takes place at https://mediaportal01.rz.uni-kiel.de/b/sun-ctr-dq4.

A seminar needs less interaction than a lecture. All scheduled individual meetings can take place online.

The purpose of this seminar is to independently scientifically work on a layout algorithm topi. The goal is to summarize the topic in an oral presentation and a written elaboration in form of a paper. Another purpose of this seminar is to practice working in structured and time-driven workflows (e.g. for conferences or workshops). Moreover, both of these aspects are a good preparation for working on your thesis. We have many theses regarding these topics available; contact us if you are interested in that.

This seminar is a bachelor and master module at the same time. Compared to the bachelor seminar, we expect that master students include more related papers and therefore write a longer paper and hold a longer presentation (see below).

## The Final Presentations

Currently, it is unclear how the talks will take place. This will be influenced by the development of the pandemic. We can think of recorded videos or a live conference or other alternatives. We expect to be able to make a decision at the end of Mai.

# Schedule and Grading

## Papers, Talks, Review

This seminar includes the creation of a paper, a talk, and two reviews.

### Paper

The paper should provide an overview of the chosen topic. It should be written in a style that late bachelor student can understand it. The paper should be 6 (master) or 4 (bachelor) pages long, not more not less, and it should use the ACM LaTeX-style (more details below). We advise you to read the writing advice for writing a thesis.

### Talk

The talk should be 40 minutes (master) or 25 minutes (bachelor) long. This is followed by 5 minutes of questions. The slides should contain page numbers to allow the participants to ask specific questions after the talk. It would be great to include a short tool demo if your topic includes some concrete implementation.

You can freely choose your presentation tool. The talk can be held in English or German.

### Review

A review consist of two parts:

1. General comments (what do you like / not like regarding content, structure, and readability) as well as general suggestions to improve the paper
2. In detail remarks and corrections

The first part of the review should be at least half an A4 page long. It should be written in full text and not only consist of notes. The review content should be similar to the review you get during the individual dates, however, it should be more in detail and with a clear focus on content, structure, and readability of the paper.

It is not possible to add files in the EasyChair review form. Therefore, it is not possible to add an annotated pdf as detailed correction.

The reviews are assigned after the review-version deadline and are based on the submitted version of the papers.

## Grades

This seminar is graded. The grade is based on each milestone (the different versions of the paper, the reviews, the slides, the talk). For each milestone quality, timing (see dates) are graded. You may fail the seminar because of missed deadlines.

# Technical Details

## LaTeX

Your papers should be created using LaTeX and have to be in the ACM style. You can find all necessary files in this zip archive, including an example document that includes helpful LaTeX-hints to start with. Copy all files in some folder and begin to write your paper.

LaTeX can create a bibliography (it includes scientific publications, which are referenced to prove statements) too. The example includes a file named myrefs.bib, which holds the references. ACM provides a short overview with examples of bibliography entries.

While writing your paper keep the following in mind:

- Think about whether you want to write your paper in German or English and make use to use the corresponding ACM-style.
- Graphics from your original paper should not just be screenshotted and added to your paper. Ideally, you create your own graphic (ideally as a vector graphic) to have good quality graphics.
- A paper always consists of an introduction, at least one main chapter, and a conclusion.
