SEMINAR THESIS
Hints for Submission
1. LaTeX Template
• Please use the provided "LaTeX-template for seminar theses"(see Download section).
• Ensure the final sources can be compiled without errors.
• Remove all unnecessary auxiliary files (aux, toc, etc.) before submission.
2. Directory Structure
Your submission should have the following folder structure:
Number-Title--Name/
├── literature/
├── sources/
│ ├── images/
│ └── Number-Title--Name.tex
└── Number-Title--Name.pdf (final thesis)
Explanation of folders:
• literature: Contains referenced PDFs and other sources. Rename files to Title-Author-Year.pdf (use concise titles).
• sources: Contains all LaTeX sources.
• sources/images: Contains all figures and diagrams.
– Please compress images to keep them under 1 MB each.
– Prepend your topic number to the filename (e.g., 01-architecture.png).
3. Example of an Accepted Structure
Suppose the topic is “Schema Mapping” (01-Schema-Mapping) and the student’s name is Mustermann. An example directory tree might look like this:
01-Schema-Mapping--Mustermann/
├── literature/
│ ├── MappingTechniques-Smith-2018.pdf
│ └── RelationalMappings-Jones-2021.pdf
├── sources/
│ ├── images/
│ │ ├── 01-architecture.png
│ │ └── 01-overview.png
│ └── 01-Schema-Mapping--Mustermann.tex
└── 01-Schema-Mapping--Mustermann.pdf (final thesis)
4. Files in the Root Folder
• 01-Schema-Mapping--Mustermann.pdf: The final thesis submission.
5. Important Notes
• Delete any unnecessary files (e.g., .aux, .toc) to keep your submission clean.
• Ensure your LaTeX sources are compileable with no missing files.
• Keep file sizes small by compressing images and minimizing overhead.
6. Disallowed LaTeX Packages
• Only use the LaTeX packages provided in the template.
• Instead of using hyperref, use the “url” package.
Please follow these guidelines carefully to help streamline the review and compilation process. Thank you!
