The seminar is organized as a block seminar, possibly online. The main communication channel is the Whiteboard system at FU, which can also be used with TU and HU accounts. The list of papers will be announced on the Whiteboard homepage of the course at the beginning of the summer term.

We recommend basic knowledge of discrete mathematics/optimization.

At the second meeting, you are supposed to give a short presentation (max. 5 minutes) about your topic.

Writing a report in professional LaTeX quality (about 5 pages) summarizing the main contents of your talk is mandatory for successful participation. The reports should include a literature survey containing at least a forward and backward search. The report has to be submitted before the talk (date TBA). At least one weak before the final presentations, you will receive feedback on your report.

The final grade is composed of the talk (60%) and the written report (40%).
