Description
This seminar aims to convey the skills that are needed to perform a thorough literature research in the area of privacy and security and to communicate its results in a manner suitable to a scientic audience. For the latter, the seminar mimics the process of a scientific conference, where authors first submit papers for review and upon a positive review, afterwards present their work in a short presentation to the other attendants.
In contrast to a real scientific conference, the reviews are done by the participants of the seminar, and each student will receive at least one review by their supervisor.
The seminar will proceed in the following phases:
- Literature research & writing: Each participant will choose a topic (topic suggestions can be found below) and perform a scientific literature research to assess the current state of the art with regards to that topic. Furthermore, each participant will write a report that summarizes, compares and discusses the discovered literature. At the end of the phase, every participant will submit its written report for peer review.
- Peer Review: Depending on the number of participants, 1 or 2 papers will be assigned to every participant for peer review. "Reviewing" means that the report is read in depth and, if necessary, suggestions for improvement are made. The reviews will be double-blinded: the authors will not know who reviewed their report, and the reviewers will not know who wrote the report they review.
- Revision: Each participant will receive the reviews to their report and improve the report accordingly.
- Presentation: Every participant will give a talk about the results from its literature research.
The precise deadlines for each phase can be found further down the page under "Important Dates".
