Annual Report 2010 - Fachgruppe Informatik an der RWTH Aachen ...

Next on the agenda was a true innovation – the ‘One Minute Madness’. Presenters had 100
seconds (ok, slightly more than a minute) and one slide to tell the – more or less uninitiated –
audience why their respective project is relevant, exciting, and fun. Obviously, such a format
was a challenge to the imagination and the creativity of the presenters. On the other hand, the
session provided some nice impressions of the department’s activities. And it was good fun
watching the presentations.
The Rektor of RWTH Aachen University, Prof. Dr.-Ing.
Ernst Schmachtenberg, addressed the audience after the
break. Obviously, he is well aware of the importance of the
Computer Science Department for RWTH Aachen
University. Something one always likes to hear ….
Subsequently, Prof. Dr. em. Klaus Indermark gave a most
enthusiastic presentation on some historic aspects of the
Aachen region, entitled “Von der aachener Heide zum
Vierländereck’.
