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) and University of Mannheim (DE) are encouraged to collaborate 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 Autumn of 2014 will discuss advanced topics in Multimedia and in the Future Internet. The final topics depend on the interests of the students. Some of the participating institutions provide recorded lectures held by participating European researchers. The talks will be made available as lecture recordings (videos). 

The topics of this year's seminar will be Future Internet – User-Generated Video. More detailed information about the topics will be announced soon.

We will have a meeting at the University of Oslo in September 2014, probably from the 17th to the 19th, give an introduction to the topic and build small international teams. Travel costs will be paid. 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 in our seminar.

For Mannheim students the participation will either count as a seminar (3 or 4 ECTS points) or as a "Studienarbeit", depending on the amount of work you are planning to spend. Bachelor students and Master students can participate due to the different complexities and topics of the tasks. If you have any questions, please contact Philip Mildner or Stephan Kopf.
