Here are the instructions for the discussion
seminar on Methodology of Research in Computer and Information
Science November 13:
Before the seminar, every student should prepare to present and
introduce for discussion of methodological issues in Computer and
Information Science either:
- a thesis proposal,
- a report from a study
group (coordinated with other members of the group), or
- a selected scientific
paper chosen after approval by the course leader, for instance a paper
from "Selected term papers on Methodology of Research in Computer
Science (available outside my office).
The presentation should focus on methodological issues, inspire
discussion and last no more than five minutes.
The starting date for this
year's course is

Som inbjuden gäst kommer vi att ha Peter Berkesand från LiU
Electronic Press, som ger en kort introduktion till elektronisk
publicering med diskussion om relaterade frågeställningar.
Kl 15.15 - 16.00 har vi ett öppet seminarium, där Ingegerd
Baurén från Universitetsbiblioteket informerar om
bibliotekets resurser som stöd för forskning inom
datavetenskap.
Påminner också om det obligatoriska seminariet den 14/11,
då vi kommer att diskutera de frågor som behandlas i
"Lecture Notes: Selected Papers, vol II". Alla ska då ha
läst åtminstone ett papper och vara beredd att presentera
och diskutera de frågeställningar och tankegångar som
behandlas i papperet.
Writing a Thesis Proposal.
Seminar Monday October 17, 13-15. Kevin
McGee.
During this session we will discuss the writing and evaluation of a
formal thesis-proposal.
OBS! This session will NOT be a "lecture." It will be a DISCUSSION
among all the participants, so each student is expected to come to the
session having already done the following:
- Read the "Thesis
Proposal Template/Outline" document
- Read the 2-page "extended abstract" for:
Bertelsen, O. and Nielsen, C. (2001). Using the Concept of
Augmented Reality as a Vehicle for Transcending the Desktop
Tarpit. In Bertelsen, O. (Ed.) Proceedings of the First Danish
Human-Computer Interaction Research Symposium, Departement of
Computer Science, University of Aarhus, November 2001.
http://www.daimi.au.dk/~sorsha/Papers/ARmobHCISymp1.pdf
- Prepared at least:
- 3 points where the published abstract has good
examples of following the thesis proposal template
- 3 points where the published abstract
does NOT follow the thesis-proposal template (you should be prepared to
defend whether you think this makes the published abstract better or
worse)
- 3 questions about the thesis-proposal template
that you think are confusing -- or comments about aspects of the
template you think are wrong, bad, or "aren't really so important"
(typ: "well, that rule doesn't really apply to ME and MY thesis work")
I will begin the session by having each student say
a few words about the current state of their thesis-work. It is FINE if
a student still is not sure "what will be focus of thesis work." But
all students should be prepared to say something about the KIND of
thesis work they
would like to do (typ: "implement a system" or "study users" or
"test/evaluate the effectiveness of different interfaces" etc.)

Seminar: The New Informatics and the Future of our
Profession.
Prof. Bo Dahlbom, VD Svenska IT-institutet.
Tuesday, November 27, 13.15 - 15.00 in IDA
conference room Estraden.
This open seminar, which also concludes the graduate
course on Introduction to Methodology of Research in Computer and
Information Science, will take the form of a presentation by Bo Dahlbom
followed by a discussion. The seminar will focus on issues of
importance
with respect to scientific methods employed in computer and information
science. In the discussion, questions may also be raised concerning,
for instance, differences between theoretical, experimental, empirical
methods etc, a potential dichotomy between science and technology,
differing traditions in different scientific cultures, gender aspects
etc. The presentation and discussion will be mainly in English.
Participants (especially in the graduate course) are
invited to prepare questions to the speaker.
