Welcome to the homepage of the Seminar Web Engineering

This website contains all important information about the seminar, including links to available topics as well as information about the seminar process in general.

The interdisciplinary research area Web Engineering develops approaches for the methodological construction of Web-based applications and distributed systems as well as their continuous development (evolution). For instance, Web Engineering deals with the development of interoperable Web Services, the implementation of web portals using service-oriented architectures (SOA), fully accessible user interfaces or even exotic web-based applications that are voice controlled via the telephone or that are represented on TV and Radio.

The seminar opening will be held on at in room

The date for the short presentations is: Tuesday, 16th May 11:30 in room 1/367A.

In your short presentation, you will provide a brief overview on your selected topic.
This includes the following aspects:

1. What is in your topic?
2. Which literature sources did you research so far?
3. What is your idea for a demonstration?

The short presentation should be no longer than 3 slides (in addition to your title slide) and take max. 5 minutes. Following your short presentations, the advisors will provide you with feedback and hints for your full presentations.

• As rule of thumb you can plan for 2 minutes per slide. Significantly more slides per minute can be difficult to perceive for the audience.
• Prior to creating your presentation, you should think about: What should be the main message of my presentation? What should the audience remember after my presentation?
  Based on these considerations you should create your presentation.
