COVID-related Measures

Some measures will take place to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The seminars will happen in a hybrid environment, where the team members of CDS and the presenters will attend the classes on-site and the other students on-line. Zoom video conferencing tool will be used to handle remote meetings. The access information for these meetings will be provided periodically via ILIAS. Furthermore, each presenter must prepare three questions about the content of the presentation, and the other students will have from Monday to Thursday to send answers to the coordinator's e-mail in order to have their attendance accounted for. The slides of all presentations will be available on this page and also on ILIAS.

To participate on-line, please use this link.

Remarks

• The seminar is composed of presentations about current research topics that are investigated in the context of bachelor, master or Ph.D. works.
• For BA/MSc students who need ECTS points, they may take the seminar as „Proseminar“ or a Master seminar respectively. In this case, the students must give at least one talk and a topic must be agreed with the seminar supervisor beforehand. Seminar topics are distributed in the first week of the semester.
• The participation of 75% of the seminar talks is also 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. It is mandatory to attend the first class of the semester.
• 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.
