Web Engineering Seminar (SS 2024)

Welcome to the homepage of the Web Engineering Seminar

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 following steps are necessary to complete the seminar:

  • Preparation of a presentation about the topic assigned to you.
  • An additional written report of your topic.
  • Each report is reviewed by two or three other particpants.

Topics and Advisors

The topics will be announced after the registration in OPAL was closed.

Seminar Opening

The date and time of the seminar opening meeting will be announced via OPAL.

Short Presentation

The date and time of the short presentations will be announced via OPAL.

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?

Following your short presentations, the advisors will provide you with feedback and hints for your full presentations.

Hints for your Presentation

  • As a rule of thumb, you should plan 2 minutes per slide. A significantly higher number of slides per minute exceeds the perceptive capacity of your audience.
  • Prior to your presentation, you should consider the following points: What is the main message of my presentaion? What should the listeners take away?
    Your presentation should be created based on these considerations.
  • The following site provides many good hints: http://www.garrreynolds.com/preso-tips/

Seminar Days

The date and time of the seminar opening meeting will be announced via OPAL.

Report

  • Important hints on citing:
    • Any statement which does not originate from the author has to be provided with a reference to the original source.
    • "When to Cite Sources" - a very good overview by the Princeton University
    • Examples for correct citation can be found in the IEEE-citation reference
    • Web resources are cited with author, title and date including URL and Request date. For example:
      • [...] M. Nottingham and R. Sayre. (2005). The Atom Syndication Format - Request for Comments: 4287 [Online]. Available: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4287.txt (18.02.2008).
      • [...] Microsoft. (2015). Microsoft Azure Homepage [Online]. Available: http://azure.microsoft.com/ (23.09.2015).
      • A url should be a hyperlink, if it is technically possible. (clickable)
  • Further important hints for the submission of your written report:
    • Use apart from justifiable exceptions (for instance highlight of text using <strong>...</strong>) only HTML elements which occur in the template. The CSS file provides may not be changed.
    • Before submitting your work, carefully check spelling and grammar, preferably with software support, for example with the spell checker of Microsoft Word.
    • Make sure that your HTML5 source code has no errors. To check your HTML5 source code, use the online validator of W3.org
    • For submission compress all necessary files (HTML, CSS, images) using a ZIP or TAR.GZ.

Review

  • Each seminar participant has to review exactly three reports. The reviews are not anonymous.
  • Use the review forms provided in the VSR Seminar Workflow, one per report.
  • Following the review phase, each seminar participant will receive the three peer reviews of his or her report and, if necessary, additional comments by the advisors. You will then have one more week to improve your report according to the received feedback.
  • The seminar grade will consider the final report.
    All comments in the reviews are for improving the text and therefore in the interest of the author.
