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:


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 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.
