Abstract:

The notes below apply to technical papers in computer science and electrical engineering, with emphasis on papers in systems and networks. Papers can be divided roughly into two categories, namely original research papers and survey papers. There are papers that combine the two elements, but most publication venues either only accept one or the other type or require the author to identify whether the paper should be evaluated as a research contribution or a survey paper.
