  * Methods,
  * Software architectures (distributed computing, multi-agent architectures, mobile databases),
  * Protocols (e.g. adaptive protocols, functional unit networks),
  * User interfaces
  * Test and verification methods that consider time and mobility 
\\
for the development of mobile applications.

===== Schedule =====

This seminar is arranged as a block seminar. The assignment of the topics will take place during the obligatory introduction course at the beginning of the winter term 07/08.

===== Elaboration =====

You're supposed to create your elaboration with LaTex using the template (with pdflatex). The following free-of-charge LaTex books could be of help:\\
\\
  * [[ftp:\\ftp.tex.ac.uk\tex-archive\info\lshort/english/lshort.pdf|The not so short Introduction to LaTex2e]]
  * [[http://www.dd.chalmers.se/latex/Docs/PDF/amsldoc.pdf|AmS-LaTeX User's Guide]]
  * [[http://latex-tutorium.sourceforge.net/|Latex Tutorium für Windows Nutzer ]]
\\
Linux provides the required LaTex packages and different editors in each distribution. Windows users can work with Miktex (LaTex for Windows); the editor of choice is TexnicCenter. For creating your bibliography, you can also use a graphical interface like Jabref besides the text editor. Hints considering the elaboration and literature research can be found on the pages of the computer science library.\\
\\
Please consider the {{:lehre:zitierrichtlinien.pdf|quoting guidelines}}. Those are mandatory except for the sections in grey!

===== Presentation =====

There is no template for the presentation slides. You can create your slides using Powerpoint, Open Office or Latex. The slides should be suitable for a presentation with a beamer. You can find some hints on how to do presentations and speeches here.
