The purpose of this seminar is to independently scientifically work on a layout algorithm topic. 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 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 ==

194

195

The presentation of the prepared topic is held during a block seminar at **tbd**. The attendance at the seminar day is mandatory. Every attending person receives the proceedings of the current semester.

=== Agenda ===

**tbd**

= Schedule and Grading =

202

203

== Papers, Talks, Review ==

204

205

This seminar includes creating 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 (including bibliography), not more not less, and it should use the ACM LaTeX-style (more details below). We advise you to read the [[writing advice>>url:https://wiki.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/bin/view/Theses/Writing%20and%20Grading%20Theses/]] for writing a thesis. You can write your paper either in English or German.

=== Talk ===

The talk should be 30 minutes (master) or 20 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.

214

215

You can freely choose your presentation tool. Therefore, for the individual dates on the presentation slides it would be best to to use your own computer. If the slides are provided as PDF beforehand, a different computer could be used.

216

217

Especially when using online tools, note that the block seminar might take place in Falckenstein and that there is no WLAN access. Therefore, the presentations must allow to be held offline.

218

219

The talk can be held in English or German.

=== Review ===

A review consist of two parts:

224

225

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

226

1. In detail remarks and corrections

227

228

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.

229

230

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.

231

232

Some example reviews from a previous semester to understand the form (not necessarily with the best grades) can be found in here: [[1>>url:https://wiki.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/bin/download/Seminars/SS23%20%28Embedded%20Real-Time%20Systems%29/WebHome/review1.txt?rev=1.2]] [[2>>url:https://wiki.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/bin/download/Seminars/SS23%20%28Embedded%20Real-Time%20Systems%29/WebHome/review2.txt?rev=1.2]] [[3>>url:https://wiki.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/bin/download/Seminars/SS23%20%28Embedded%20Real-Time%20Systems%29/WebHome/review3.txt?rev=1.2]] [[4>>url:https://wiki.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/bin/download/Seminars/SS23%20%28Embedded%20Real-Time%20Systems%29/WebHome/review4.txt?rev=1.2]] [[5>>url:https://wiki.rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/bin/download/Seminars/SS23%20%28Embedded%20Real-Time%20Systems%29/WebHome/review5.txt?rev=1.2]].

233

234

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, engagement in the workshop). For each milestone quality, timing (see dates) are graded. Missed deadlines may cause you to fail the seminar.

239

240

= Technical Details =

=== LaTeX ===

Your papers should be created using LaTeX and have to be in the provided ACM style. You can find all necessary files in this [[zip archive>>url:https://cloud.rz.uni-kiel.de/index.php/s/PpmFxJtxYqF2GaX]], including an example document that includes helpful LaTeX-hints to start with. Copy all files in some folder and begin to write your paper.

245

246

LaTeX can create a bibliography (it includes scientific publications, which are referenced to prove statements) too. The example includes a file named {{code language="none"}}myrefs.bib{{/code}}, which holds the references. ACM provides a short overview with [[examples>>url:https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/bibtex-formatting]] of bibliography entries.

247

248

While writing your paper keep the following in mind:

249

250

* Think about whether you want to write your paper in German or English and make use to use the corresponding ACM-style.

251

* If you use graphics from your original paper, you should not just add a screenshot of the pdf your paper. Try to use the image from the original paper by exporting them, including the pdf directly {{code language="none"}}\inlcudegraphics[page=... trim=...]{*.pdf}{{/code}}, or by recreating the image by yourself (ideally as a vector graphic). This way you should get a result that is not pixelated or at least not worse than the original.

252

* A paper always consists of an introduction, at least one main chapter, and a conclusion.
