Abstract
The abstract should describe the basic message of the paper, including: the problem, why your solution should be of interest, some notion that your solution is effective, and a teaser about how it has been evaluated. Cover all of this using between 75 and 150 words. Thus, the abstract is the hardest part to write. Sometimes I try to write it first, but the final version is usually composed of items drawn from the introduction, and then condensed, as the last step of writing the paper.
1. Introduction
The problem we have solved
Why the problem is not already solved or other solutions are ineffective in one or more important ways
Why our solution is worth considering and why is it effective in some way that others are not
How the rest of the paper is structured
The rest of this paper first discusses related work in Section 2, and then describes our implementation in Section 3. Section 4 describes how we evaluated our system and presents the results. Section 5 presents our conclusions and describes future work.
2. Related Work
Other efforts that exist to solve this problem and why are they less effective than our method
Other efforts that exist to solve related problems that are relevant, how are they relevant, and why are they less effective than our solution for this problem
3. Implementation
What we (will do | did): Our Solution
How our solution (will | does) work
4. Evaluation
How we tested our solution
How our solution performed, how its performance compared to that of other solutions mentioned in related work, and how these results show that our solution is effective
Context and limitations of our solution as required for summation
5. Conclusions and Future Work
The problem we have solved
Our solution to the problem
Why our solution is worthwhile in some significant way
Why the reader should be impressed and/or pleased to have read the paper
What we will (or could) do next
