Research Trends in Media Informatics (Seminar)

Media Informatics is a broad field spanning many research directions and topics. The Internet, Web 2.0, Social Networks, Ubiquitous Computing, Usability, Social Interaction, HCI, Privacy, Trust and new Security mechanisms are just a few examples. This seminar aims to provide an overview of different research directions and current challenges that are focus of active research around the world and at our institute.

To successfully complete the seminar the following requirements have to be fulfilled:

• Written paper on a selected topic
  6-8 pages, German or English (English preferred)
• Active participation
  Active participation in peer reviews and discussions
• Presentation
  20 minutes, German or English

The seminar organization and schedule follow the style of a typical technical conference. Participants prepare a full paper on a topic, which is then peer-reviewed by at least two other students. Participants then must integrate the reviewer comments before submitting their camera-ready version of the paper.

The seminar proceedings with all final papers will be published on Uni Ulm VTS.
