==Paper Layout==
Most full papers have the following layout.
===Abstract===
* Brief introduction of the problem and motivation.
* 1-2 sentences of your method and evaluation.
* 1-2 sentences of your findings.
===Introduction===
The main goal here is to present the problem and convince the reader that the problem is interesting, important, and yet-to-be-solved.
===Related Works===
Some authors put this section near the end but this is just a brief survey of the field. 
Make sure to cite all the important papers in the field and some newer ones to show that the area is still relevant. 
Try to also cite who you think will be reviewers. Do not criticize other works too specifically since they may be your reviewers. 
I.e. Don't say "Li et al. does X but fails to consider Y."
At the end, you can add a paragraph about what advantage of your method has compared to existing works.
===Method===
===Evaluation===
===Conclusion===
