Objective
The objective of the seminar is for participants to collectively learn about the state-of-the-art research in Human-Computer Interaction and closely related areas. Another objective is to collectively discuss open issues in the field, necessary follow-up work for the latest presented results in the field, and developing a feeling for what constitutes research questions and outcomes in the field of technical Human-Computer Interaction.
Content
The seminar format is as follows: attendees individually read one recent full-paper publication, working through its content in detail and possibly covering some of the background if necessary, and present the approach, methodology, research question and implementation as well as the evaluation and discussion in a 20–25 min talk in front of the others. Each presenter will then lead a short discussion about the paper, which is guided by questions posed to the audience in advance.
Literature
24 papers will be provided by the lecturer and distributed in the first seminar on a first-come, first-served basis according to participants' preferences. The lecturer will also give a brief run-down across all 24 papers in a fast-forward style, covering each paper in a single-minute presentation, and outline the difficulties of each project. The schedule is fixed throughout the term with easier papers being presented earlier and more comprehensive papers presented later in the term.
Prerequisites / Notice
All students are welcome in the first seminar to see the overview over the papers we will discuss. After assigning papers, the seminar will be limited to 24 attendees, i.e., those students that sign up for papers first.
