# Catching the Train - Publication

Brief note on todos, related works, possible conferences.


## ToDos

1. Identifikation von zwei möglichen Konferenzen.
    - [ ] a) Konferenzen mit häufigen Vorkommen im State-of-Art identifizieren.
Gibt es spezialisierte Konferenzen für das Thema?
    - [ ] b) Wirtschaftlichkeit und Umweltaspekte betrachten. Konferenz sollte in Europa stattfinden. Nur in begründeten Ausnahmen außerhalb. In Zeiten einer Pandemie gehe ich von einer Online-Konferenz aus.
    - [ ] c) Die Konferenz sollte ein gutes Image haben. ACM oder IEEE, keine Scam
Konferenzen.

2. Basierend auf den Vorgaben der Konferenz (Seitenanzahl, Template) etc.
    - [ ] a) Erstellen eines ersten Entwurfs. Hier geht es darum, die Masterarbeit im Wesentlichen zu kürzen.
    - [ ]  b) Ping-Pong zwischen den Autoren. Anpassen der Grafiken auf das neue Format. Ggf. Erstellung neuer Grafiken statt Text.
    - [ ] c) Rechtschreibung und Grammatik.

3. Einreichen und finanzielle Aspekte.
    - [ ] a) Förderung für Publikation und Reise beschaffen.
    - [ ] b) Source-Code und Daten veröffentlichen.
    - [ ] c) Teilnahme an der Konferenz.

Generell können wir uns die Arbeit gut aufteilen.
