RegistrationDue to the high organizational effort, the number of students from Mannheim is limited and there are only few free spots remaining. If you are interested to participate in this challenging event, send me an email to Philip Mildner. Please note that the date of your email application decides whether you can participate or not. The regular application period closes on August 28, so make sure to send your application in time.

We have selected all participants for the teleseminar. Additional registration is no longer possible.

General Information

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.

Presentation dates

Wednesday, 10:15 - 11:45 a.m.

  • November 11, 2015: N. Basnet, L. Krieger, S. Leicht, R. Reimer

  • November 18, 2015: M. Hörner, S. Ionescu, M. Bausch, K. Ho

Topic

The teleseminar in the Autumn of 2015 will discuss advanced topics in Multimedia and in the Future Internet. The final topics depend on the interests of the students. Detailed information about the topics will be announced soon.

Joint Meeting

We will have a meeting at the University of Oslo in September 2015, 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.

Grading and Participation

For Mannheim students the participation will count as a seminar. 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 Benjamin Guthier.
