===== Conclusions & Future Work Section =====


=== Conclusions ===

| Purpose  | Summarize what the main contribution is, with appropriate mentionings of the method, result and assumptions (and possibly motivation, if this is important) |
| Format | Short, concise - it is different from the Abstract in that most will have read (most of) the paper when they read this section. \\    |
| What to avoid | Repeating verbatim something that was said earlier.  \\ Being too wordy.  \\ Saying something new that should have been in a prior section.  \\ Not saying anything new (wrt the context, global conclusion, etc.).  |

=== Future Work ===

| Purpose | To help those who want to continue the work understand what **you** would do next  |
| Format  | A few sentences on what will be the follow-up to this study. It is customary to put mentionings of future work in the Conclusions section, not to have it be a separate section.  |

=== Example ===

| Typical format  | - Restate the problem/challenge (1-2 sentences) \\ - Restate what you did (1 sentence) \\ - Draw up the main conclusion, refer to your results \\ - Comment on the implications \\ - Tell them what would be done next |

=== Acknowledgment ===

| Purpose | To thank people, funding agencies, etc. that should be acknowledged but are not appropriate to list as co-authors.  |
| Format | Comes after Results, Conclusion.  |
