Motivation

Pick a recent survey of the field so you can quickly gain an overview
Pick papers that are related to each other in some ways and/or that are in the same field so that you can write a meaningful survey out of them,

write :

1) Intro :
• Motivation (why is it important?), may be general or specific
• Background (what is the history of this issue?)
• Objectives (what are you trying to accomplish?)
• Scope (what is the focus of your analysis?)
• Limitations (what constraints did you face?)
• Content (what is in the report?)
• Organization (how the report is organized?)

technique section
Survey details
• Present the surveyed techniques using the classification scheme in detail.
• Identify the trends in the surveyed area. Give evidences for your decision.
• See points 3, 4, 5, 6 below.
Conclusions and possible future work
• Summarize the conclusions of your survey.
References
• List all the citations referenced in your paper.
• See point 7 below.

(3) Identify the main types of techniques in the field. When are they being created? How are they related to each other – technique-wise and system-wise?

(4) Compare the different techniques/system:

1. Can you distinguish the main differences between the different techniques?
2. What sort of reasoning mechanisms are they using? Is there a progress trend in the different report of research, e.g. in terms of time and in terms of technology improvements?
3. Can you compare the performance of the different types of techniques?
4. What will be the evaluation criteria that you will be using for comparing the different technologies?
5. In addition to text description on those topics above, can you produce a few relevant summary tables on the comparison of the different tools and techniques?
