Abstract
An abstract is a short summary or a self-contained and powerful statement that describes
a larger work. It is a basic idea which has something that detached from physical, or concrete,
reality. An abstract is a social science or scientific work may contain the scope, purpose, results,
and contents of the work. There are three parts of abstract those are introduction, body, and
conclusion. However there is checklist consisting of parts of an abstract which are motivation,
problem statement, approach, results, and conclusion.

Three main parts of an abstract:


 Introduction - is a beginning section which states the purpose and goals of the following
writing.
 Body – is the largest part of a paper. It contains the main point or idea of a paper.
 Conclusions - is the last part of something, its end or result. When you write a paper, you
always end by summing up your arguments and drawing a conclusion about what you've
been writing about.

Checklist: Parts of an Abstract


 Motivation
- Why do we care about the problem and the results? If the problem isn't
obviously "interesting" it might be better to put motivation first; but if your
work is incremental progress on a problem that is widely recognized as
important, then it is probably better to put the problem statement first to
indicate which piece of the larger problem you are breaking off to work on.
This section should include the importance of your work, the difficulty of the
area, and the impact it might have if successful.
 Problem Statement
- What problem are you trying to solve? What is the scope of your work (a
generalized approach, or for a specific situation)? Be careful not to use too
much jargon. In some cases it is appropriate to put the problem statement
before the motivation, but usually this only works if most readers already
understand why the problem is important.
 Approach
- How did you go about solving or making progress on the problem? Did you
use simulation, analytic models, prototype construction, or analysis of field
data for an actual product? What was the extent of your work (did you look at
one application program or a hundred programs in twenty different
programming languages?) What important variables did you control, ignore,
or measure?
 Results
- What's the answer? Specifically, most good computer architecture papers
conclude that something is so many percent faster, cheaper, smaller, or
otherwise better than something else. Put the result there, in numbers. Avoid
vague, hand-waving results such as "very", "small", or "significant." If you
must be vague, you are only given license to do so when you can talk about
orders-of-magnitude improvement. There is a tension here in that you should
not provide numbers that can be easily misinterpreted, but on the other hand
you don't have room for all the caveats.
 Conclusions
- What are the implications of your answer? Is it going to change the world
(unlikely), be a significant "win", be a nice hack, or simply serve as a road
sign indicating that this path is a waste of time (all of the previous results are
useful). Are your results general, potentially generalizable, or specific to a
particular case?
