Resources
Dieses Proseminar ist eine Einführung in den Bereich der Mensch-Computer-Interaktion. Aufbauend auf grundlegenden Veröffentlichungen zu diesem Thema vermittelt Ihnen das Proseminar eine neue Sicht auf die Benutzerschnittstelle und ihren Einfluss auf den Erfolg interaktiver Softwaresysteme. Dabei werden Sie Innovationen kennenlernen, die in den letzten Jahren Einzug in kommerzielle UIs gefunden haben, und solche, die bislang nur in Forschungslaboren existieren. Bei allen Themen handelt es sich um aktuelle Publikationen aus dem Bereich Human Computer Interaction. Sie werden eine Ausarbeitung schreiben und eine Präsentation halten, welche den aktuellen Stand der Forschung aus dem jeweiligen Bereich darstellen und diskutieren soll. Die Bearbeitung der Themen erfolgt in Zweiergruppen.
This proseminar is an introduction to the field of human-computer interaction. Building on basic publications on this topic, the proseminar provides a new perspective on the user interface and its impact on the success of interactive software systems. You will get to know innovations that have found their way into commercial UIs in recent years and those that only exist in research laboratories so far. All topics are current publications from the field of Interactive Surfaces and Spaces. You will write a paper and give a presentation which will present and discuss the current state of research in the respective field. You will work on the seminar paper and the presentation in groups of two.

The RWTH CS library offers a course to literature review (Literaturrecherche für Informatiker). This course is mandatory for all bachelor students to participate in our seminar.
Additional Information
Required Reading (before kick-off meeting):
Writing for Computer Science by Justin Zobel (available at RWTH library & Informatik library)
- Chapter 10: Doing Research

"How to Read an Engineering Research Paper"
Submission Milestones
All submissions have to be sent to the supervisor until 12:00 (noon) via mail. Include the tag [Proseminar] and the name of the topic as well as the milestone (e.g., "[Proseminar] Explainable AI, Report Outline").
Literature Review & Report Outline
Prepare 7+ topic-related research papers with a contribution and benefits statement stating the contribution type. Provide a clear structure of the final paper submission. What is the storyline you want to convey? How are you introducing the topic? What are the arguments you are providing? How are you connecting the papers to each other and your arguments? Include your papers into this structure.
Slides
The first complete version of your presentation slides (Powerpoint, Keynote, Prezi, ....). Hand in slides which you would confidently use for a presentation on the next day.
Presentation (50% of Grade)
The presentation in front of the other students and your supervisor. We expect a well-prepared presentation. Test your talk at least once in the room where you are going to present to familiarise yourself with the equipment and test your slides on the beamer in the room. The presentation time will be 20 minutes followed by a 10 minutes discussion where you will get feedback and questions from your supervisor and your peers. We encourage a constructive feedback interaction where you can learn from each other and have a fun conversation on how to improve your presentation style.
Final Report (50% of Grade)
Your seminar paper should contain 10 content pages in the ACM Extended Abstract Template). We expect you to submit a version which has no spelling mistakes, a closed argumentation, a complete bibliography, including all figures.
You can download the template or set up a collaborative Latex project using Overleaf.
Report Feedback
After your submission of the final report, there is an additional feedback meeting in which the report is discussed. This should take place around two weeks after your submission.
Milestone Dates
For the milestones "Literature Review and Report Outline" and "Test Presentation" you can get feedback from your supervisor. For this, make an appointment in the week after the submission deadline.
