TDDD50 Green Computing

Seminars

General information

Seminars are devoted to discuss current topics on the subject of Green Computing. The students, under the supervision of the teacher, will present and discuss scientific articles. The seminar sessions will be in groups of maximum 12 students.

Rules of the game

Each seminar occasion will consist of two sessions. Each session consists of a presentation (20 min), a discussion (20 min), and an individual feedback on the presentation to the presenter (5 min). The list of articles, seminar occasions, and links to download the papers is available in the seminar plan below. During the seminar the students will adopt two different roles:

  • Leader: The student has one article assigned to present and leads the discussion about it. This role is adopted once for each student.
  • Participant: The rest of the students have browsed the article and have prepared two questions for discussion before the seminar. They listen to the presentation and actively participate in the discussion. The discussions starts by each student presenting their questions.
The evaluation of the seminar activities is detailed in the examination section.

The way the papers are assigned to the students is explained in the first lecture. Have a look at the paper selection guidelines before selecting your preferred papers.
