How to Write a Technical Report? Yu-Chee Tseng CS/NCTU
Structure and Format • Authors/Affiliations • Abstract • Keywords • Sections • References
Abstract • Goals • Contributions • Main Approaches … something that one can remember after reading once
Section Arrangement • Introduction • Related Works • Problem Definition • Main Works (1-3 sections, such as Algorithms, Protocols, Maths, etc.) • Analysis • Experiments, Simulations, Prototyping • Conclusions
Introduction • technical trends (with citations) • applications (with citations) • user scenarios (with citations) • general related works (with citations) • specific related works (with citations) • my goal • my achievement • outline of this report
Related Works • generally related • specifically related • highly related (which we will compare to) • classification of related works
Problem Definition • Statement of the problem to be solved • Use of symbols, notations, equations are very important. • Objective: such as maximize/minimize something • Evaluation metrics (such as speed, network throughput, power consumption, etc.)
Main Work • Around 1 to 3 sections • algorithms, protocols, etc. • Be well-structured • top-down • give overall architecture • step-by-step
Analysis/Simulation/etc. • 1 to 2 sections about • math, analytical results • experimental results • simulation results • prototyping, testing results • Comparison targets • at least 1, but not too many
Conclusions • 1 – 3 paragraphs • what you have done (being proud of) • how come it is better • future directions
Bibliography • 10 to 40 references • be aware of the format
