1 Kick-Off Meeting Winter term 2013 TU Berlin Software Engineering of Embedded Systems Prof. Dr. Sabine Glesner

2 Goals of this Seminar? 1. get familiar with latest research topics 2. presentation of acquired knowledge oral presentation written presentation eingebetteter Systeme WS2013 2

3 Get Familiar With a Reseach Topic read, understand and reflect a scientific paper reading papers differs from reading textbooks start early!!!! 1. get the big picture read completely, understand context 2. read carefully find and read additional literature (ask your advisor) eingebetteter Systeme WS2013 3

4 Questions to Yourself and the Literature 1. Do I understand the problem? Do I know the background and foundations? 2. Do I understand the solution? Does it seems plausible? 3. Is the example well chosen? Would I use a different one? Which? 4. Can I explain problem and solution using my OWN words? 5. Would I write it the same way? eingebetteter Systeme WS2013 4

5 Goals of this Seminar? 1. get familiar with latest research topics 2. presentation of acquired knowledge oral presentation written presentation eingebetteter Systeme WS2013 5

6 The Golden Thread proposed solution concrete problem actual solution algorithms, implementation subject, background conclusion short summaries (milestones) show connections between parts eingebetteter Systeme WS2013 6

7 Goals of this Seminar? 1. get familiar with latest research topics 2. presentation of acquired knowledge oral presentation written presentation eingebetteter Systeme WS2013 7

8 Oral Presentation Quelle: eingebetteter Systeme WS2013 8

9 Contents of the Talk condensed information in scientific papers limited receptiveness of the audience How to handle this? select material according to some key aspects (quantity vs. time) use a motivating example (complicated details in the term paper) consider your listeners (background, previous speaker, related topics) coordinate with your advisor! eingebetteter Systeme WS2013 9

10 begin early!!!! eingebetteter Systeme WS

11 Content of the Slides key aspects (distilled information) examples keywords, no full sentences well considered use of formulas no slides followed by: You don t have to closely look at this slide, the important thing is only eingebetteter Systeme WS

12 Design sufficient font size systematic use of colors and fonts avoid improper colors and contrast spans and margins figures duplicated slides if necessary (avoid browsing in slides) slide numbers!!!! eingebetteter Systeme WS

13 Color Frenzy Quelle:A. Pnueli Formal Methods eingebetteter Systeme WS

14 How to do your Talk speak to the audience, search for eye contact speak sloooowly and clear 2 4 minutes per slide short brake to arrange one s ideas are permitted practice your talk measure the time needed prepare short-cuts and extensions for some slides eingebetteter Systeme WS

15 Very few people are not nervous during a talk! Everybody is expecting that, so don t be afraid. eingebetteter Systeme WS

16 Discussion questions show that the listeners actually did listen should help you with your work repeat question/describe them with own words buy time to think about the question delay detailed discussion eingebetteter Systeme WS

17 Imagine....your talk is subject to the evaluation form of the TUB for courses. lecture: comprehensibility The the presentation in the lecture is clearly structured. lecture: style The lecturer illustrates the contents of this course using versatile examples. lecture: use of media In the lecture, the slides are well understandable. eingebetteter Systeme WS

18 Goals of this Seminar? 1. get familiar with latest research topics 2. presentation of acquired knowledge oral presentation written presentation eingebetteter Systeme WS

19 Written Presentation Quelle: eingebetteter Systeme WS

20 Possible Structure of a Software Engineering Term Paper (1) 1. Introduction/ State the problem? running example literature 2. Background what is needed to understand the paper 3. The solution? concepts, possible alternatives proofs, algorithms implementations eingebetteter Systeme WS

21 Possible Structure of a Software Engineering Term Paper (2) 4. What are the results?/ Summary case studies, evaluation results future work (open questions, further improvements) 5. List of references eingebetteter Systeme WS

22 Style What we like to see: clear and short sentences consistent use of English/German terms figures and tables with numbers and captions What we don t like to see: colloquial language and denglisch bad spelling tables, figures, algorithms, code snippets without references eingebetteter Systeme WS

23 Bibliography and Quoting state all used sources add references directly in the text follow rules and conventions for quoting (e.g. used scientific publications, year, pages, etc.) BibTeX (LaTeX ) indicate your personal thoughts/authors oppinions properly eingebetteter Systeme WS

24 Formatting we strongly recommend LaTeX A4 font size: 12pt line spacing: single title name, study course, registration number, topic, advisor, name of the lecture, date, university, research group) eingebetteter Systeme WS

25 Goals of this Seminar! 1. get familiar with latest research topics read, understand a scientific paper describe contents with own words 2. presentation of acquired knowledge oral presentation extract quintessence present appealingly written presentation structured and scientific correct written presentation/summary of a problem and ist solution eingebetteter Systeme WS

26 We are looking forward to interesting talks in this seminar! eingebetteter Systeme WS
