DBIS LateX-Template for Bachelor/Master-Thesis

This is a template for bachelor and master theses at the research group Databases and Information Systems at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Innsbruck.

Main Contents

  • thesis_template.tex - main template file
  • bibliography.bib - sample bibtex-file
  • logo_uibk.pdf - logo of the University of Innsbruck in .pdf format

Usage

Please adapt the template to either a bachelor or master thesis by editing the following two parts:

  • Title page: either use ''Bachelor Thesis'' or ''Master Thesis''
  • Statutory declaration: remove the declaration that does not apply for your thesis

Compiling your Thesis

This template is optimized for use with pdflatex. Therefore, please simply call e.g., pdflatex thesis_template.tex to compile the thesis. This should present you with a compiled pdf-file holding the empty thesis template.

Make sure to also compile the bibtex-file by calling bibtex thesis_template and subsequently, compiling the main thesis file again.

The following commadn should provide you with a fully compiled pdf (including bibliography and resolved references): pdflatex thesis_template.tex; bibtex thesis_template; pdflatex thesis_template.tex; pdflatex thesis_template.tex;

  • appendix
