Overview
In this term's seminar, we will look into recent developments in database research.
Prerequisites
Participants should have successfully attended the lecture Datenbankanwendung(database application) or equivalent. Further, having attended the core course Informationsysteme(information system) is recommended, too.
Requirements for Certificate
- Prepare a 45 minutes presentation about your topic to introduce it to your fellow students.
- Make a first appointment with your tutor (who will be announced as soon as the papers are assigned to students) to discuss the outline of your presentation by end of May 2015. There is no need to have slides ready; but be able to have a solid understanding of the paper and concrete ideas (e.g., bullet point list) how you want to organize the talk. You are responsible for scheduling meetings with your tutor.
- Point out advantages or potential weaknesses of the work covered in your presentation. If you are unsure about what to present, talk to your tutor. Note that—even though relevant presentations may be available on the web—we expect that you prepare your own slides (which may be, of course, inspired by the original slides). Send your as-complete-as-possible (i.e., no left TODOs, etc.) slides to and discuss them with your tutor by end of June. Otherwise, your talk may be canceled.
- The review process consists of two parts. The first part is called peer review. Your slides will be reviewed by an arbitarily selected peer student who also participates in seminar in this term. In turn you should review another student's slides and give feedbacks to him/her on his/her work. The peer review will end up by the middle of July. Peer-to-peer relationships are randomly selected by us. Meanwhile, it takes half month (by the middle of July) for your tutor to give you professional feedbacks on your no-left-TODO slides in the second part. By merging feedbacks from both your peer student and your tutor, you should submit a final version for your presentation.
- Each presentation is followed by approximately 15 minutes of discussion. The discussion is moderated by your peer student. The moderator's role is to provide interesting input (such as observations, questions, related work) for the discussion and, in general, to enable a constructive discussion. The presenter's slides will be sent to the moderator at least 2 weeks before the seminar/talk.
- Three weeks after your talk, submit a short report (not longer than 4 pages) about your topic. A Latex template will be provided. The report should concisely summarize the article and point out strengths and weaknesses.
- Attend all presentations, i.e., the entire seminar.
- Actively participate in the discussions.
- Your final grade is influenced by: your oral presentations, your knowledge about your topic (e.g., as shown in the discussion after your presentation), your performance as a moderator, your general participation in the seminar, and your written report.
Organisation
You will be assigned one of the below topics (coming soon), do a literature review, and write a seminar thesis either in German or English. You will present your results in a 45-minute talk. Selected seminar work will be published on our website.
