[Translate to Englisch:] Seminar "Konzepte und Technologien für nutzerzentrierte Kommunikationsnetze (UCN)"

Supervisor: Dr. Frank Loh

Topic Assignment

The topics are assigned after direct application at the supervisor of the specified topic, typically by e-mail. The "First Come, First Serve" priciple applies.

The enumeration of seminar topics below also lists a topic supervisor. The link on the name leads to the supervisor's website, where teir e-mail address is listed. The application is started via a formless e-mail, in which the application should list their desired topic, their subject of study, and their current semester count. The applicant will then be contacted regarding the topic assignment.

This application process is open up to the introductory session, which takes place on the 28th of April at 14:00 in room SE 8 in the Physics faculty. The remaining topics are assigned during this session, if there are any topics still open.

 

Seminar Process

The seminar takes place in the summer semester. Details and announcements are made public in the WueCampus-courseroom to which participants are automatically added at the start of the semester. Any further announcements are made via this courseroom.

The seminar start with an introductory session for which participation is mandatory. It is planned for the 28th of April 2025, room SE 8 of the Physics Faculty, from 14:00 to 15:30. All important organizational matters regarding the seminar are discussed here.

Seminar participants need to get accquainted with their topic, working autonomously, and prepare a presentation ranging in length from 20 to 25 minutes. The topic supervisor may provide some supplementary material and is available in case questions come up, and can help with further planning and organization of the work. Further research on literature may be necessary, depending on the requirements of the topic.

Participants are expected to work diligently and approach their supervisor in case of difficulties or questions.We place great emphasis on a good presentation, both in content and demeanor.

The exact dates of the presentations, which are held towards the end of the semester before exams, will be announced on WueCampus. Attendence is mandatory for all presentations.

About two weeks before the final presentation, there is typically a practice presentation. The date of the practice presentation is planned in accordance with the topic supervisor. Participants should prepare well for these practice presentations, and we expect you to include the provided feedback in the final presentation. Every participant typically attends another participant's practice presentation to provide additional feedback.

Beyond the presentation, part of the course work is a written report on the topic, which is mandatory according to the examination regulations. Participants are provided a LaTeX-template for the report. The report is typically about 10 to 15 pages. Deadline for the report is the 29th of August 2025.

Participants that are unable to prepare a presentation for their assigned date may apply again in the following semester. A reassignment of the presentation date on short notice is not possible.
