General Information

Participants of this seminar will analyze current work of IT security research and present a summary. To not only give insights into the topics of research in IT security, but also into the processes of academic peer review and research publishing, this seminar will imitate the typical course of a scientific conference.

The seminar is split in half. A writing and a presentation phase:
After an introductory meeting on April 11th at 10am, participants have to work out the main facts of their selected topic and to write a summary of this paper. There are 5 weeks of processing time for that. Following, there will be a cross review process, lasting 2 weeks and another week to make your summary camera-ready.

The presentation phase is in between week 24 and 28 (June 10th and July 12th). Each participant has to present his/her results in plenary. The concrete dates will be agreed in the introductory meeting.
