1. Definition and qualities of abstract
1.1. Definition of abstract
An abstract is a concise statement of the major elements of a research project, and
the reader’s first encounter with the research. Essentially, it should act as an advertisement
for the work. It states the purpose, methods, and findings of the research project.
A Sample Abstract
PASM: A partitionable SIMD/MIMD System for Image Processing and Pattern
Recognition.
PASM, a large-scale multimicroprocessor system being designed at Purdue
University for image processing and pattern recognition, is described. This system can be
dynamically reconfigured to operate as one or more independent SIMD and/or MIMD
machines. PASM consists of a parallel computation unit, which contains N processor, N
memories, and an interconnection network; Q microcontrollers, each of which controls
N/Q parallel secondary storage devices; a distributed memory management system; and a
system control unit, to coordinate the other system components. Possible values for N and
Q are 1024 and 16, respectively. The control schemes and memory management on PASM
are explored. Examples of how PASM can be used to perform image processing tasks are
given.
1.2. Qualities of abstract
An effective abstract has the following qualities:
uses one or more well developed paragraphs: these are unified, coherent, concise, and
able to stand alone;
uses an introduction/body/conclusion structure which presents the article, paper, or
report's purpose, results, conclusions, and recommendations in that order;
follows strictly the chronology of the article, paper, or report;
provides logical connections (or transitions) between the information included;
adds no new information, but simply summarizes the report;
is understandable to a wide audience.
2.Types of abstracts
There are two types:
A descriptive abstract identifies the areas to be covered in the report and does not
demonstrate the paper’s content. Descriptive abstracts:
tell readers what information the report, article, or paper contains;
include the purpose, methods, and scope of the report, article, or paper;
do not provide results, conclusions, or recommendations;
are always very short, usually under 100 words;
introduce the subject to readers, who must then read the report, article, or paper to find
out the author's results, conclusions, or recommendations.
An informative abstract summarizes the entire report and gives the reader an
overview of the facts that will be investigated in more details in the paper or presentation
itself. Informative abstracts:
communicate specific information from the report, article, or paper;
include the purpose, methods, and scope of the report, article, or paper;
