After successful completion of the course, students are able to...
...take on the basic roles in scientific publications (author, reviewer).
...to apply scientific literature research.
... give constructive reviews.
...understand the procedures involved in the organization of scientific conferences.
The course is divided into a theoretical part with lectures and a practical part. The goal is to play with and experience the different roles involved in the organisation of a scientific conference (author, reviewer, program committee member).
After introducing the process of the lecture, different topics are presented that deepen the knowledge acquired in the Bachelor's programme and are related to current research topics at ICT. Furthermore, the basics of scientific work and how to give constructive criticism are discussed.
The practical part involves the preparation of an extended abstract based on a pre-selected selection of literature. Students can bring in their own topics in alignment to the research area of the ICT. The topics come from the research areas of ICT. This work is submitted to the "conference" and reviewed by the other students. A tool that is also used at real conferences is used for this purpose. The reviews are discussed at a seminar (program committee meeting). The papers are then revised taking the comments into account and presented at the "conference". The course is intended as preparation for writing a Bachelor's thesis, which can also be based on the research and summary for the state of the art. Further information can be found in the preliminary discussion of the course.
The proposed topics can be downloaded from the LVA website in TISS as of the presentation date.
