===== Requirements =====

  * Participation on all dates
  * Getting familiar with the given topic on your own
  * Written paper of 10-12 pages
  * Talk of exactly 30 minutes
  * The paper must be delivered to the tutor 2 weeks before the talk whereas the slides must be available 1 week before.
  * The paper and slides have to be composed by yourself. All used sources and utilities have to be declared and all citations have to be indicated.

===== Paper =====

The paper should be created with Latex using the {{:en:lehre:sose06:proseminar_vorlage.zip|template}}. The following free Latex 'books' could be of help:\\
\\
  * [[ftp:\\ftp.tex.ac.uk\tex-archive\info\lshort/english/lshort.pdf|The not so short Introduction to LaTex2e]]
  * [[http://www.dd.chalmers.se/latex/Docs/PDF/amsldoc.pdf|AmS-LaTeX User's Guide]]

Linux already contains the Latex packages as well as various editors in each distribution. Windows users can use [[http://www.miktex.org/|Miktex]] (LaTex for Windows); as an editor we suggest the use of [[http://www.toolscenter.org/|TexnicCenter]].\\
\\
For creating the bibliography, a graphical interface besides the texteditor (e.g. [[http://jabref.sourceforge.net/|Jabref]]) could be of help. Hints on writing a paper and literature research can be found on the pages of the [[http://www-bib.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/fachlinks.html|computer science library]].

===== Talk =====

There is no template for the slides of the talk. They can be created using Powerpoint, Open Office or Latex and should be suitable for a presentation with a beamer. [[http://www.heise.de/ct/01/11/172/|Here]] you can find some hints for presenations and talks.

===== Tutor =====

  * Questions of general interest can also be discussed in the forum.
