Research Seminar in Software Engineering 2022/23 fall

Seminar Meetings:

IMPORTANT: The introduction session and all presentation sessions are mandatory and printed in red below. At the current point in time, the plan is that mandatory sessions will be exclusively conducted in-class. No virtual option will be offered. If you miss more than one mandatory seminar session you have failed the seminar. In case of illness, you must produce a doctor's certificate that clearly states you couldn't attend the session due to illness. Other important impediments must be discussed at least 48 hours before the session with Dietmar Pfahl. Decisions will be made on a case by case basis. Trips abroad do not count as sufficient justification for not attending a seminar session.
