my supervisor recommended me that I add a section that discusses the application of the artefact that I previously evaluated in a research environment in a real-world use case.

I should use runtime (is it fast enough) and costs (how much does the executing cost), so do I discuss whether it is worth using it. And it is, of course.

Is there a typical name for such a section?

To name it "Discussion" seems too general to me. Any suggestions?

    Ask your supervisor. They should know the conventions in your field. Perhaps wait to ask this question until you have a draft of the section to show.

There ae many possibilities. Assuming that you developed the artifact and that the paper discusses its technical qualities you could, perhaps do one of the following.

  • A section titled "Practical Implications", before the Conclusions

  • An Appendix, following the Conclusions.

If your advisor has different advice it is probably worth taking it.

  • what about discussion on practical applicability

    That would work fine.

  • I am not sure about the position of this section. Would it be part of the evaluation section as a subsection after the subsection "results"? or would it be an own section since such a discussion is not part of the evaluation? I am not sure what is the default. However, adding it in the last section "conclusion and future work", it is too much content and I am using specific numbers and calculations in this discussion which is not appropriate in this section. Any thoughts? Any defaults or rules?

    If it is a bit different from the rest then I'd guess it would be its own section just before Conclusions, or, again, an Appendix. But, not a rule, really, just something that makes sense and is clear.
