4	Research Papers Describe novel technical results An algorithm System Construct : Hardware Design, Software System, Protocol A performance evaluation – analysis, simulation, measurement A theory – collection of theorems
5	Research Papers Should focus on Results should be described sufficiently so that their validity can be established. Novel aspects should be identified Significance of results should be identified : Improvements and impacts
6	Paper Structure
7	Paper Structure Title Avoid all but the most readily understood abbreviations. Avoid common phrases like "novel" etc. Use adjectives that describe the distinctive features of your work, e.g., reliable, scalable, high-performance, robust, low-complexity, or low-cost. Consult Automatic Systems Research Topic or Paper Title Generator.
8	Paper Structure Abstract 200 words approx A summary of the paper, including a brief description of the problem, the solution, and conclusions. Do not cite references in the abstract. Keywords They should be selected such that a computerized search is facilitated.
9	Paper Structure Introduction Introduce problem Outline solution The statement of the problem should include a clear statement why the problem is important (or interesting). The proposed solution should be briefly described, with explanations of how it is different from, and superior to, existing solutions. The last paragraph should be a summary of what will be described in each subsequent section of the paper.
10	Paper Structure Related Work This should contain the background of the problem, why it is important, and what others have done to solve this problem. All related existing work should be properly described and referenced.
11	Paper Structure Body of paper Problem Solution / System model The proposed model is described. Assumptions?? State the model assumptions clearly. Do the assumptions make sense? Even if assumptions to make the problem mathematically tractable, they should reflect some real-world situations. Instances where the assumptions hold should be described. Use figures to help explain the model.
12	Paper Structure Body of paper Sufficient motivation, example scenarios, Example scenarios with Illustrating figures. General evaluations of your algorithm or architecture, e.g., material proving that the algorithm is O(log N), go here, not in the evaluation section. Realization: contains actual implementation details when implementing architecture isn't totally straightforward. Mention briefly implementation language, platform, location, dependencies on other packages and minimum resource usage if pertinent.
13	Paper Structure Conclusions This summarizes what have been done and concluded based on the results. A description of future research should also be included References This should contain a list of papers referred to in the paper. Choose a more readily available reference. Research reports, internal memos, private correspondences, and preprints should be avoided. Often journal editors tend to pick reviewers from the authors of the references cited in the submission.
14	Hints and Notes Write like a newspaper report, You saw this, then u saw that.. Then u inference that… Use simple language structures, small sentences. Don’t Cheat. (You will be caught eventually) For each sentence ask yourself, could it be misread? How? What is the best way to fix it? If you read what you have written assuming only the knowledge that the reader can be expected to have, does each part work the way you intended? If you read it aloud, does it sound the way you intended?
15	Referee Evaluation Issues Will this advance the state of the art? Did you learn anything new? Does it provide evidence which supports/contradicts hypotheses? Experimental validation? Will the paper generate discussion at the conference? How readable is the paper? Is the paper relevant to a broader community?
16	Survey Paper A paper that summarizes and organizes recent research results in a novel way that integrates and adds understanding to work in the field.
17	Survey Paper A survey paper assumes a general knowledge of the area. It emphasizes the classification of the existing literature, developing a perspective on the area, and evaluating trends. Evaluation Criterion Thoroughness and scope of survey Classification and organization of trends Critical evaluation of approaches (relative advantage/disadvantages) Quality of explanation (Draw your own figures, diagram, charts) Reference and Pointer to depth information
