I've been tasked with writing an extended abstract. I'm studying computer science (CS) and I have had a look online for an idea of what an extended abstract should contain.
So far, I gather that it should contain roughly 1000 words, excluding graphs, diagrams and references. It also appears that it should contain an introduction, and some preliminary results as well as address the what
, why
and how
questions.
I was wondering, could someone provide me with a bullet-point-style breakdown of what an extended abstract needs to contain?
As an example of what I mean, here is how I would break down an abstract:
- Define the topic
- Describe the problem that the topic is facing
- State why this research is important and what it provides
- Describe the main contribution of the paper and summarise the conclusion
- Describe future avenues of research
