Nachlese
Simon Peyton Jones begeisterte mit seinem grossartigen Vortrag mehr
als 160 BesucherInnen. Er brachte nicht nur den theoretischen Input,
wie ein Vortrag zu halten sei, sondern zeigte es realiter gleich vor.
Obwohl der Hörsaal bis zum letzten Platz gefüllt war, vergingen
die drei Stunden wie im Flug. Von den Studierenden bis zu den ProfessorInnen
waren sich alle einig: A great researcher with a great talk.

Abstract
Great research is wasted unless you can communicate your ideas to
others. The two principal ways researchers do so are by writing papers,
and by giving research talks. Nevertheless, many papers and talks, even
by well-established researchers, are amazingly poorly presented. There
are many simple things that everyone can do to improve talks and papers,
regardless of whether you are a natural speaker or a fluent writer.
In these two linked talks, I will try to abstract lessons from my
own experience of writing about and presenting research, in the hope
that they may be of use to you. I expect that some members of the audience
will also be experienced researchers, with good ideas of their own.
Nothing would delight me more than to move from presentation into two-way
discussion so please come prepared to make your own contribution.
Bio
Simon Peyton Jones, MA, MBCS, CEng, graduated from Trinity College
Cambridge in 1980. After two years in industry, he spent seven years
as a lecturer at University College London, and nine years as a professor
at the Computing Science Department at Glasgow University , before moving
to Microsoft Research in Cambridge , England in 1998.
His main research interest is in functional programming languages,
their implementation, and their application. He has led a succession
of research projects focused around the design and implementation of
production-quality functional-language systems for both uniprocessors
and parallel machines. He was a key contributor to the design of the
now-standard functional language Haskell, and is the lead designer of
the widely-used Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC). He has written two textbooks
about the implementation of functional languages. He co-supervises a
number of PhD students at the Cambridge University Computer Lab. Simon
Peyton Jones has co-authored the article How
to give a good research talk'
ACM SIGPLAN Notices, Volume 28 Issue 11, 1993 (Slides).
