The actual state of the work will be presented on Tuesday, 13.02.2007. Starting at 10:00 with the first presentation, we suggest a tight schedule. This allows all submitted papers to be presented on this single day.

Therefore, the length of each presentation shall be about 30 Minutes. You shall not present much longer than 30 minutes, and you should also not present considerably shorter. After the presentation we have reserved 15 minutes time for questions and short discussions.

The suggested, preliminary schedule for the presentation sessions is as followed:

Time		Topic	Authors
10:00		Welcome - Reception
10:15	11:00	Implementation Vulnerabilities and Detection	B. Wagrocki, C. Holm, C. Schwardt, T. Schäpe
11:05	11:50	Modeling Authorization Policy Using XACML	Viktor Horvath
11:50		Coffee Break
12:10	12:55	Ownership claims on the web	Dennis Polei, Malte Siedenburg
13:00	13:45	Evaluating Session Handling in Web Applications	Ahne Björn, Lukas Ciostek
13:45		Lunch (not included)

We will be using a professional online conference management tool. Submission Deadline for the Final Papers is 31st March 2007 - 11 pm.

The conference management tool allows the management of participants, submissions and reviews. We are using ConfTool Pro version 2.0, it has been gratefully provided and hosted by Harald Weinreich.
 
You need to adhere to the following styleguide when submitting your extended abstract or your final paper as PDF or Word document: Styleguide as PDF, Styleguide as Word.
If you prefer to use LaTEX you are welcome to do so. When using LaTEX try to come as close as possible to the styleguides above, and submit as PDF.

Slides from the introduction and introduction to topic 1,3,4,5 and slides for topic 2 are available for download.
Please feel free to contact your advisors.

Please use STiNE, in case of problems you can also show up at the first meeting (01.11.2006). Please do check the list of topics, once available, and do prepare to ask questions and to choose one of them in the first meeting.

We will try to give you some additional insight in academic conferences. Therefore this semester's seminar will be held in a conference style:

This is interestingly different from "normal" seminars in several ways:

• You will work in groups and write up an extended abstract (2-5 pages). You can choose your topic from several interesting research topics. Each of the topics or topic areas is advised by one supervisor, who's research interest is centered in this area.
   
• You will learn how a real conference works behind the scenes: For example your extended abstract needs to be submitted using a conference tool.
  It will give the program committee (Prof. Dr. Posegga [Program Chair], Christopher Alm, Bastian Braun, Martin Johns, Hannah Lee, Daniel Schreckling, Henrich C. Pöhls) an overview and the chance to check the progress of your work (your goals, your methods, your sources, etc.).
   
• Additionally the extended abstract is reviewed in a blinded review process. Blinded means your paper is reviewed by an unknown reviewer, but the reviewer knows that you are the paper's author. You will participate in the review process as reviewers.
  During the review process you get familiar with the other group's work, while reading their extended abstracts. You will rate other group's submissions and provide the authors and the program committee with valueable comments and helpful hints. Again, comments to the program committee as well as the rating will not be given to the authors. So you will get feedback from other participants.
   
• Another benefit of the conference style: You all present your work on the "conference day". Each of you presents a part of your group's work in your group's presentation (about 45 minutes). So you will have one single "event" at the end of the semester (final date will be decided on during the course). This allows you to solely concentrate on interesting, in-depth presentations, rather than listening to two presentations each and every week.
   
• And you have less regular meetings, as the preliminary time-table below shows.

One difference to a regular conference: Normally you would have to work in the comments and suggestions in your camera ready version, which normally needs to be submitted before the presentation. In this seminar the camera-ready version needs to be handed in at the end of this semester.

Eventhough it sounds like more work to all parties (participants & program committee members),
we hope this conference-style seminar will be a good preparation and a lot of fun, too.
