Seminar: Internet Economics 5

This seminar on Internet Economics will start on October 24, 2002. Its separate reports and slides may be accessed below as soon as they are available.

Note: Separate talks and presentations are linked below, however, once a link is dangling, there is no on-line version available, yet. The draft due date is usually one week before the talk, however, there are some exceptions to this rule. Read carefully below! Thanks!

The supervisors are Prof. Dr. B. Stiller (BS), J. Gerke (JG), Hasan (HH), D. Hausheer (DH), P. Kurtansky (PK), and J. Mischke (JM). Please check with them personally at the due date in the seminar break when a feedback meeting can be arranged on a bilateral basis.

Procedure

All talks will be prepared in a draft version a week in advance of the date mentioned above. This includes the preparation of a 20 pages summary in paper form, which need to be handed into the supervisors by that date as well. In addition, a bi-lateral meeting of app. 15 min will be set between the presenter and the supervisor to discuss the draft.

The corrected version will be prepared into a final version until noon of the presentation date. A two-side per page paper copy is due for final check purposes. An electronic version in FrameMaker or Word is to be sent the same date by e-mail to stiller@tik.ee.ethz.ch, hausheer@tik.ee.ethz.ch, gerke@tik.ee.ethz.ch, hasan@tik.ee.ethz.ch, kurtansky@tik.ee.ethz.ch, mischke@tik.ee.ethz.ch, respectively.

Talk Information

The talk will last 45 min per presentation. Share the time equally for motivating/summarizing and presenting technical details as well.

After the talk and additional 15 min break, the questions and discussions part will begin. This includes the answering of questions coming from the audience on one hand, and the preparation of two to three controversially discussable statememts put up by the two presenters, on the other hand, e.g., to which extent is the topic presented relevant to equipment providers, do they have to adapt their technologies in place? How will the introduction of the scheme presented make users shift their usage paradigms? Or, is the set of approaches available an opportunity for the new economy, where are their risks? It is highly recommended to read other talk titles and relate questions to them as well.

The talk needs to be backed by a set of slides prepared from the presenters. It shall be well organized, include a front slide with title, presenter, and outline, and sum up the talk after a clear and structured presentation of technical, systematic, and correct details. On average you can assume a 2-3 min talking time per slide, which makes a slide set of app. 18-22 slides necessary. Avoid too much text on the slide, but clearly entitle and identify pictures and graphs on them. Use a font larger than 16 pt in the general case of text.
