Writing Scientific Work

Please note that your scientific work (e.g., master thesis) should cover following parts

1. Introduction (which explains the problem that you are aiming and why it is important to solve that specific problem)
2. Related work ( you should do some literature research and analysis of similar work done by others to show that you work is interesting for some scientific or industrial communities)
3. Propose your solution as an abstract model without implementations
4. Describe your implementation of the solution
5. Design of evaluation and experiments for showing that your solution is working
6. Show the results and discuss their details, and eventually compare your results with the results from part 2 (Related Work)
7. Conclusion
