Introduction

  • Elaborate about the context, history, problem and why it is relevant.

  • What is the structure of the document.

Literature review

  • Sistematic review of related literature up to the state of the art.
  • Highlight advantages, disadvantages and gaps of current knowledge.

  • Justify how the results will be measured.

Methodology

Results

  • Describe the results and how they were achieved (proofs).
  • Critique analysis of results and their evidences (simulations, observations, etc).
  • Relate cause and effect, make generalizations through observations and analysis, explain contradictions, define limitations, suggest further research.
