Nowadays, it has become quite normal for computer scientists to work on an international team after they graduate. For example, consulting companies often form such international teams, with colleagues with specific competences from all over the world, to work on customer problems, using their laptops, no matter where they currently are. We intend to create a similar setting for our students in order to train them for this new scenario.

 It is the purpose of this joint seminar between three European Universities to bring together researchers and students from several places to do joint work. Another cornerstone of this joint seminar are joint six-week long lab assignments. Students from the University of Oslo (NO), Lancaster University (UK), and University of Mannheim (DE) are encouraged to collaborate together to fulfill the mandatory requirements for this joint course. The participating universities have outstanding research groups, and it will be quite beneficial for students on both sides to learn more about international state-of-the-art research and cooperation. 
 
 

The teleseminar in the Spring of 2012 will presumably discuss advanced topics multimedia, augmented reality or in in future internet. The final topics depend on the interests of the students. Each participating institution provides recorded lectures held by participating European researchers. The talks will be made available as lecture recordings (videos). 

More detailed information about the topics will be announced soon.

We will have a meeting at one of the partner Universities in March 2012, give an introduction to the topic and build small international teams. In a subsequent cooperation phase of approximately 6 weeks, the teams will cooperate from their home locations, working on lab assignments, prepare a short joint paper (10 page IEEE style), and present and discuss their results.

For Mannheim students the participation will either count as a seminar (3 or 4 ECTS points), as a ”Programmier-Praktikum” (6 ECTS points), or as a "Studienarbeit", depending on the amount of work you are planning to spend.
