5. Structuring Papers
D
  1. Work out of main idea
  2. Details of main idea
  • The description of
  • the state of the art
  • how to improve it
  • Goal develop message

5. Structuring Papers
E
  1. Conclusions
  • The description of
  • Related Work Optional, can also go at beginning
    of paper after introduction
  • Conclusion
  • Future Work Optional
  • Goal argue that you have done what you wrote in
    abstract, title,

1 page
7
5. Structuring Papers
  • Related work
  • For each system
  • 3 lines to describe what it does
  • 3-10 lines to argue why how you do better

8
5. Structuring Papers
  1. Appendixes and Footnotes

F
  • Material not necessary in order to understand
  • the paper but useful
  • references
  • proof
  • code

5. Structuring Papers
  1. Appendixes and Footnotes

F
  • References evolves and should be written
  • in parallel with the other sections of the
    Paper
  • Other appendixes should be written last when
    Paper
  • (Almost) finished
  • Goal show you know state of the art. Define your
    state of the art.

5. Structuring Papers
  • Homomorphic Property
  • describe the same idea
  • at different levels of abstraction

11
5. Structuring Papers
Different parts of the paper have different
audience Title, Abstract, Introduction for
people who have to decide whether they want to
read the paper
  • Work out of main idea, Details of main idea
  • for people who want to use results
  • for people who want to extend/improve results

6. Cores Grain Structure of papers
13
6. Cores Grain Structure of papers
  1. write one section at the time
  2. paragraphs are the structure of the section
  3. lengths must be appropriate (3-6 paragraphs for
    page)
  4. in one section paragraphs must be homogenous
  5. sentences are the structure of the paragraph

6. Cores Grain Structure of papers
Example Introduction P1 Context P2 Problem P3
Solution P4 Why new P5 structure of paper

6. Cores Grain Structure of papers
Homomorphic Property New line if and only if is
needed

8. The Style
19
8. The Style
  • same type of font
  • high quality of English (do you know native
    speakers)
  • simplified drawings
  • good references
  • good notation
  • use either I/we or neutral form

20
8. The Style
  • references Author/date style
  • In text (Graburn 1989) or (Dann and Cohen 1991
    Smith 1987).
  • Reference list in alphabetical order.
  • Chandrasekaran B. Models versus Rules, Deep
    versus Compiled, Content versus Form, Some
    Distinctions in Knowledge Systems Research. IEEE
    Expert 6 (2), pp. 75-79, 1991.

    Decision Support Systems. Ellis Horwood,
    Chichester, 1989.
