The purpose of the seminar is two-fold: (a) share ideas about recent research in the field of cyber security; and (b) provide help with your progress on the MSc thesis.  Conducting an academic literature review is an essential part of writing the MSc thesis and typically also influences the thoughts on what to write in the thesis.  For this reason the literature review should be done quite early on.  And while reviewing academic papers and literature probably never stops until the thesis is finally submitted, most papers should be read in the beginning of the MSc thesis process.  The thesis work then goes a step further and everyone is bringing their unique research contribution to the table (written-up in the form of the MSc thesis).  It is an option for this seminar to present your own research work (e.g., practice the MSc defence).  However, generally this is not expected.  It is more expected that the presenter reviews and presents '''one''' or at most two selected paper(s).  The presentation should give an overview of what research question the authors of that paper tried to achieve, it should present a bit of context (e.g., why is that research question interesting and relevant) and the presentation should at least go a bit deeper at one aspect discussed in the paper (e.g., highlight the methodological approach used by the authors how the problem was solved).  The student should be able to present the paper, as if it would be his/her own paper, which means a good understanding of the problem space in which context the paper was written.  Therefore, it is not sufficient to just read one or two papers only and superficially present the work of the authors.  It is more likely that to fully understand and appreciate the work of the authors of the selected paper, several other related work papers need to be read.  A slide should be included in the presentation that lists the most relevant papers read in preparation for this talk.

Overall, the presentation should be very brief:  ~ 12 minutes for the presentation of the paper.  This must include the research hypothesis of the presented paper, methodology, results and validation (what the authors did to believe their results are accurate).  If the presenter has already his/her own research hypothesis, it is welcome to include that in the presentation as well and illustrate how the given paper presented has influenced the thesis process/how it relates to the thesis overall.  There should be about ~ 8 minutes for discussion about the paper, and questions regarding the content of the paper.

This is supposed to be a friendly environment, in which we all can improve our presentation skills.  It is therefore a goal also to highlight at the end positive things about the presentation skills, and/or give constructive criticism on how to improve.  Obviously, the presenter is not responsible for academic quality of paper (unless it's his/her own paper which is being presented).  However, the presenter is responsible for the paper selection, and making sure the paper's problem area is well understood.

Guidelines on Presentations

The purpose of the seminar is two-fold: (a) share ideas about recent research in the field of cyber security; and (b) provide help with your progress on the MSc thesis. Conducting an academic literature review is an essential part of writing the MSc thesis and typically also influences the thoughts on what to write in the thesis. For this reason the literature review should be done quite early on. And while reviewing academic papers and literature probably never stops until the thesis is finally submitted, most papers should be read in the beginning of the MSc thesis process. The thesis work then goes a step further and everyone is bringing their unique research contribution to the table (written-up in the form of the MSc thesis). It is an option for this seminar to present your own research work (e.g., practice the MSc defence). However, generally this is not expected. It is more expected that the presenter reviews and presents one or at most two selected paper(s). The presentation should give an overview of what research question the authors of that paper tried to achieve, it should present a bit of context (e.g., why is that research question interesting and relevant) and the presentation should at least go a bit deeper at one aspect discussed in the paper (e.g., highlight the methodological approach used by the authors how the problem was solved). The student should be able to present the paper, as if it would be his/her own paper, which means a good understanding of the problem space in which context the paper was written. Therefore, it is not sufficient to just read one or two papers only and superficially present the work of the authors. It is more likely that to fully understand and appreciate the work of the authors of the selected paper, several other related work papers need to be read. A slide should be included in the presentation that lists the most relevant papers read in preparation for this talk.

Overall, the presentation should be very brief: ~ 12 minutes for the presentation of the paper. This must include the research hypothesis of the presented paper, methodology, results and validation (what the authors did to believe their results are accurate). If the presenter has already his/her own research hypothesis, it is welcome to include that in the presentation as well and illustrate how the given paper presented has influenced the thesis process/how it relates to the thesis overall. There should be about ~ 8 minutes for discussion about the paper, and questions regarding the content of the paper.

This is supposed to be a friendly environment, in which we all can improve our presentation skills. It is therefore a goal also to highlight at the end positive things about the presentation skills, and/or give constructive criticism on how to improve. Obviously, the presenter is not responsible for academic quality of paper (unless it's his/her own paper which is being presented). However, the presenter is responsible for the paper selection, and making sure the paper's problem area is well understood.

Grade assignment

In order to pass, a student must give at least one solid presentation based on the literature review for their thesis. Exceptions to the topic will be decided by the instructor.
