Introduction
Introduction to the problem Why is it worth solving? What did others do? Why did they not succeed? Why do I believe I did better? Contribution of the paper Is there anything new in the paper? How good are your results? Is your survey different from other available surveys? Introduction to the paper itself

conclusions?
We presented two algorithms, A1 and A2, for the
floorplanning problem. Our experimental results indicate that A1 outperforms A2 in terms of solution quality, but requires about 100% more time than A2 in most cases.

Writing Style
Use simple sentences, unless you are
comfortable writing complex and compound sentences Avoid repetition Make use of the grammar and spelling checker, but exercise caution Will a figure or table be able to say the same thing more effectively?
