This seminar focuses on several aspects of technical Computer Science. At the start of the seminar you will receive a list of suggested topics that mainly deal with particular aspects of the so-called Trusted Computing and security issues in the Internet of Things. You are also very welcome to suggest your own research topic that is closely related to technical Computer Science. You can work on your topic exclusively or in a small group of 2-3 students. But then, it has to be apparent who contributed what part to the seminar paper.

It is possible to combine this seminar with the software project Telematics. Then, the theoretical foundations of the topic are dealt with in the scientific seminar paper and implemented in practice in the software project. Please note that the seminar paper is not supposed to deal with details of the implementation and that you are still obliged to write an accurate documentation of the software project in written form. 

Concerning the schedule: This seminar takes place during the semester. There are only a few meetings, but these are mandatory. On the first meeting (03.11.2020), the topic list will be handed out and discussed. Please prepare a short (2-3 minutes) overview of your own topic suggestion if you would like to include it in the seminar. On the next week (10.11.2020), the topics will be assigned. After that there will be 3 presentation dates in total: the topic presentation (01.12.2021), a short interim presentation (12.01.2021) and the final presentation (23.02.2021). There will be no further meetings beyond that. This semester, all meetings will take place as video conferences with Webex.
