Final Demo

Instructions for Presenters

• Demos are supposed to be live.
• Prepare for 10-15 minutes, after each demo there will be room for questions.
• The demo could include the following:
  • An extension of something covered in the lab
  • Protocols / tools / systems not covered in the lab
• Time is limited: Focus on the core of the topic, do not waste time introducing basics.

Note:

• Deadline for topic selection is 17.11.2026 23:59. The order of presentations will be decided as soon as all the topics are assigned.
• Topic conflicts: usually a topic can be split in two parts, we will contact participants individually to solve conflicts.
• Demo Date: 01.12.2026 14:00 - 18:00 . Time slots will be announced as soon as the topics are assigned.

Remember:

• Active participation in the presentation sessions is part of the requirements to successfully complete this course and receive the ECTS. Thus, students have to be present during all demos.
• If students miss the demo session, they have to record their demo and hand in a report on the demo topic. The report must cover 4 pages written in 2 column IEEE template (e.g., in LaTex: \documentclass[10pt, conference]{IEEEtran}) handed in by the day of the recap date.
