Why is the problem to be solved
important? |
|
2.2 |

State of the Art (Existing
Work) |
|
3.1 |
|
Literature review: Describe what
work has been done on the topic |
|
|
|
and what is the problem left to be
solved |
|
|
|
(to indicate what is new in the
proposed work) |

Methods: |
|
4.1 |
|
Introduction of critical
concepts/variables |
|
4.2 |

Results: |
|
5.1 |
|
What are the metrics used to
quantify/properties performance? |
|
5.2 |
|
How was the solution evaluated? |
|
5.3 |
|
What are the results (quantitative
graphs or tables)? |
|
5.4 |
|
Why the results make sense (for each
result)? What does explain the results? |
|

Discussion: |
|
6.1 |
|
What are the assumptions used in the
evaluation? What is not included in the analysis? |
|
6.2 |
|
What should be considered in the
next step or future research? |
|

Conclusions: |
|
7.1 |
|
What problem was solved? |
|
7.2 |
|
What was proposed? |
|
7.3 |
|
How was the proposed solution proved
that really solves the problem? |
|
7.4 |
|
What we learnt from the study
(quantitative knowledge is preferred)? (Take away message) |
|
Note that the writing of the paper
most likely be different from performing the research. Reviewing the literature is needed
before diving into the selected research. |
