Abstract- These instructions give you guidelines for preparing your report for Advanced Control and are based on the templates used for scientific publications. Use this document as a template if you are using Microsoft Word. Otherwise, use this document as an instruction set. The title should be written in uppercase and lowercase letters, not all uppercase. Avoid writing long formulas with subscripts, jargon or any but the most general abbreviations or acronyms. Full names of group members are preferred in the author field, but are not required. Put a space between group members initials. Define all symbols used in the abstract. Do not cite references in the abstract. Do not delete the blank line immediately above the abstract; it sets the footnote at the bottom of this column. The abstract should be a single paragraph of no more than 250 words and contain four distinct sections (without headings). First, after the word abstract and the dash, should be a background that sets the context for the project that was undertaken. Next should be the key methodology or approach that was followed. The main results of the work should then be briefly outlined and finally the conclusion should extrapolate where the project could go to next if it were to continue or how the findings could be put to the best use. Abstracts are typically written last as not all sections can be covered until the completion of the project.
