Related work: A review of the relevant related work with an emphasis of how the proposed approach is different and what advantages it has over the existing state of the art. Proposed solution: A description of the proposed solution and which other work (e.g., in the form of methods or tools) it depends on. Preliminary work: A description of the work to-date and results achieved so far. Expected contributions: A list of the expected contributions to both theory and practice.
