Softtalks is a talk series organized by s.e.a.l. in which researchers and master students are welcome to share and discuss their recent research proposals, approaches, and results.

The talks presented can be of the following types:

• research talk
• paper talk
• paper discussion
• topic discussion. Such a discussion can range from infrastructure and group administration to a presentation of a research topic, e.g. 'an overview of bug prediction literature', which can be used to find new research opportunities.
• new ideas and emerging results session
• tutorial session
• tool presentation

Organization

• Softtalks are typically held on Thursdays from 16:00-17:00.
• They take place in BIN 1.D.29 (with some exceptions).
• Research talks follow a conference style: 25 min presentation time (at most) and 20 min discussion.
• We will stop each talk after 25min; so please be prepared!

Note to the internal speakers: Please announce your talk via the softtalk mailing list one week before your talk.
