Program

GI Dagstuhl Seminar “Software Engineering for Intelligent and Autonomous Systems (SEfIAS)” (2018).
Last updated: August 14, 2018

Overview

  • Sunday: Arrival
  • Monday, Tuesday: Individual presentations by participants (15 min talk + 5 min for discussion)
    The aim of the Monday and Tuesday talks is to build the foundation for the exchange of ideas and discussions for the days to follow. So please describe the big picture of your research and not one specific detailed contribution as it is done for a conference presentation. Please also try to identify on a slide potential connections to talks of other participants based on the shared title and abstracts.
  • Wednesday morning, Thursday, Friday morning: Breakout groups with specific goals such as summarizing research in a specific area, identifying related research in different areas, gathering ideas for paper and project proposal submissions, exchange of ideas and initiation of research collaborations, preparing benchmarks. The groups will be formed on demand and based on ideas discussed in the plenum.
  • Wednesday afternoon: Social activities (e.g., hiking, wine tasting, volleyball, football)
  • Friday after lunch: Departure
  • Every day after dinner we will have the opportunity to gather for informal discussions, music, beer and wine drinking, cheese platter, table tennis, pool, etc.
