Maybe you should considder including Bromine or some of the ideas behind it in your seminar.
To be honest, i can't see how selenium and the like can be of any real value without a QA tool they integrate with. I mean, how do people use their results out in the real world? Do they look through x html log files every morning?
Sounds interesting thought. I'd attend if i weren't halfway across the world 
Good points. I see Selenium in use for Ajax testing in two ways:
1) Browser compatibility testing using Selenium RC. Set-up a farm of browsers and operating systems to operate functional tests.
2) Simple debugging of Ajax applications. Combining Selenium with Firebug's network monitoring is a great way to debug Ajax apps.
Taking it further than that requires a framework to repurpose Selenium tests in a test automation framework. Bromine looks just fine to do so. So does PushToTest!

In regards to your machine/browser farm to do functional testing: I fail to see how one could do this without a QA tool to gather and analyse the results, whether it be Bromine or something similar? How would one store the results in a way that wouldn't become hopelessly cluttered in just a few days of testing? html report files named after machine/browser/date? How would one present these results to the company or developers?
These were the issues we faced in the beginning, which were why we created Bromine.
Actually that is pretty close.
I'll forward your url to my boss. Maybe he'll send me or someone else
