Introduction:

2.1

Why is the problem to be solved important?

2.2

1st

What has been done and why those solutions are not good enough? (critical)

2.3

What is the proposed solution?

2.4

How the proposed solution changes the fields or understanding of the problem theme?

2.5

In summary, what is the contribution of the paper?

2.6

Optional but almost always present: What is the organization of the paper?

Results:

4.1

What are the metrics used to quantify/properties performance?

4.2

How was the solution evaluated?

Discussion:

5.1

What are the assumptions used in the evaluation? What is not included in the analysis?
