===Method===

===Evaluation===

===Discussion===

In the discussion section you can analyse the results from your experiments if you didn't do so in the evaluation section.

You can also discuss limitations to your method and potential followup topics.

Finally, you can also discuss what additional applications your method might be useful for.

However, try to avoid excessive speculation.

===Conclusion===

==Authorship==

In applied CS, authorship goes by order of contribution.

Typically the first author(s) is the student who does bulk of the work (experiments, paper writing, presentation).

Meanwhile, the last author(s) is the senior author or advisior who provides suggestions, funding, and polishing.

Ideas are commonly initially provided by the senior authors and then jointly refined during the research process.

Only first-author papers are used in students' PhD theses.

In theoretical CS (i.e. mathematics), authorship is often alphabetical.

Authors not alphabetical would signify a large difference in contribution for a theoretical paper.

==Maximizing Acceptance Chances==

* Go through the previous proceedings of the conference you're submitting to and make sure you cite all relevant work. Chances are, those authors will be reviewing your paper and won't appreciate it if your manuscript is missing citations to their work. If there are no relevant work, consider choosing a different conference.
