Organization
For successful participation in the Hauptseminar, the following tasks should be completed:

- Complete two reviews of reports written by two other participants (at time N-1 where N is the presentation of the work being reviewed).
- Include the reviewer comments into your own report (at time N+1 week).
Presentation
The presentation should give a good overview of the selected subject. Please take care to organize a good presentation structure, use interesting and clear examples and make the topic interesting to the other participants. Re-work the structure and flow of your presentation as many times as is needed before the presentation. Convince yourself that the structure is meaningful. A good way of making sure the structure and line of argument is good is to give a test presentation to a friend or colleague who can give you some initial feedback. The presentation may not extend over the 40 minute time limit. The slides and presentation can be in German or in English.

The written report should be in LNCS style and should be approximate 10 pages. The report should preferably be written using LaTeX, but Word can also be used if really required. The final version should be available to the reviewers as a PDF.
Information and templates on how to conform to LNCS can be found at Springer.
