Abstract {one sentence per section, after all is done}

1. Introduction

In the introductory section we specify the following three issues of
impriotance: (a) Definition of the general field of interest for this
research, (b) Deffinition of the special terminology of interest for this
research, and (c) Defiition of the viewpoint of interest for this research
(definition of the axiomatic requirements of this research).

2. Problem statement

In this section we focus on the following issues of importance for the
understanding of the basic orientation of this research: (a) Problem
definition, (b) Elaboration of problem importance (why is the problem
important?), and (c) An assesmentof the problem development trends (why
will the importance of this problem grow over time?).

3. Existing solutions of the problem and their criticism

In this section, we  give a short overview of existing solutions of the
problem specified in the Problem Definition section, and we criticise the
existing solutions from the point of view defined in the Problem Statement
section. In general, the overviewed solutions give excelent results under
the axiomatic conditions of interest for their research environment, but
they do not address the axiomatic requirements of interest for this
research.

This section starts with a classification of existing solutions (the
classification criteria and the classification tree). The classification
criteria were chosen to reflect the essence of the basic viewpoint of this
research. The classification tree was obtained by successive application
of the chosen criteria. The leaves of the classification tree are the
examples (research efforts) elaborated briefly in the Existing Solutions
section of this paper.

It continues with an overview which, for each and every example (selected
research effort), gives the following main points: (a) The 7 Ws of  the
research (who, where, when, whom, why, what, how), (b) Essence of the
approach (the main strategic issue which differ from the research
presented here), (c) Details of the approach (the main tactical issues of
interest for the research presented here), (d) Further development trends
of the approach, and (e) A criticism of the approach (looking from the
viewpoint of our research), and finally (f) Possible improvements that
could overcome the noticed drawbacks (which is what our research can
benefit from).


3.1. Classification criteria and the classification tree

The classification criteria of interest for this research, as well as the
justification there-off, are given in Table 1. All selected classification
criteria are explained in the caption of Table 1, and elaborated in the
paragraph to follow.

Table 1: Classification criteria. Legend: {}. Explanation: {}.

{one paragraph elaboration, one paragraph for each criterion}

The classification tree, derived from the above introduced classification
criteria, is presented in Figure 1. Each leaf of the classification tree
is given a name, as described in the caption of Figure 1. For each leaf,
the list of existing solutions is given.

{one paragraph list of solutions under each leaf, one paragraph per leaf}


3.2. Presentation of existing solutions and their drawbacks from our point
of view

This section is divided in several subsections, one per leaf of the above
defined classification. For each leaf, several 6-sentence paragraphs are
given, one per research effort overviewed.
In the text to follow, instead of the term leaf, we use the term Solution
Group.

3.2.1. SolutionGroup#1: {}

{one paragraph per solution; each paragraph – six sentences}

3.2.2. SolutionGrop#2: {}

3.2.3. SolutionGroup#3: {}

3.2.4. SolutionGroup#4: {}

3.2.5. Conclusion about existing solutions

From all above presented, we conclude, among the existing solutions, the
one which can be treated as the best one, for the general axiomatic
viewpoit of this research is {}. In the analyis part of this paper, the
best existing solution is used as the counterpart against which the
advantages of our proposed solution are measured (analytically by
mathematics and experimentally by simulation).


4. Proposed solution and its essence

This section introduces the essence of our approach, and gives the reasons
why this approach will not be characterized with drawbacks typical of
existing approaches. The essence of our approach is described in Figure 2.
The essence and adventages are furhter elaborated in two paragraphs to
follow.

5. Conditions and assumptions of this research

In this context, the term Condition refers to realistic specifiers of the
environement. The term Assumption refers to simplificqations that make the
analysis easier, without jeoprdizing on the quality of final results.
Conditions and assumptions of this research are presented in the following
to sections.


5.1. Conditions

{one 3-sentence paragraph per condition: definition, explanation,
justification – what application is conditionally covered by this
condition}


5.2. Assumptions

{one 3-sentence paragraph per assumption: definition, explanation,
justification – what analysis is made easier by this assumption}


6. Details of the proposed solution, presented comparatively with the best
existing solution

Here, the details of the proposed solution are presented comparatively
with the best existing solution. Only the details of interest for the asic
understanding of our proposal and the details of interest for further
analyis are presented.

{free style presentation, supported by figures, whenever possible: the
procedures are defined step by step}


7. Mathematical analyis

{the energy value of each step in the two procedures is given a
mathematical treatment}


8. Simulation analyis

{the simulator is described, the experiments done on the simulator are
described, and the final outcomes are discussed in the view of the above
given mathematical analyis}


9. Conclusion

{what was done, recapitulated}
{to whom is this of importance}
{what are the newly open research problems}
{something wise for the end, e.g. trend , etc...}
