You may reference related work, but keep it to a minimum and specific (i.e. no "review of what so-and-so did" in the Contribution section!). \\ Give it a title that describes its contents. | | | Contribution Section | Describe your idea - not how it has been evaluated.

| | Evaluation method description: should have a one-to-one correspondence with the results section | This means that any table, graph, or illustration in the results should have a directly corresponding statement/motivation/ discussion in the Evaluation section. \\ If you feel like you have to include tables whose existence are not discussed -- and hence not justified -- in the evaluation section, make sure they are either motivated by a surprise finding or else put them in a Discussion section. | | | Evaluation method description: should have a one-to-one correspondence with the results section | This means that any table, graph, or illustration in the results should have a directly corresponding statement/motivation/ discussion in the Evaluation section. \\ If you feel like you have to include tables whose existence are not discussed -- and hence not justified -- in the evaluation section, make sure they are either motivated by a surprise finding or else put them in a Discussion section. | |
