GUIDLINES ON PREPARING AN EXTENDED ABSTRACT

The following piece is from the article History and Scope of IPCO by K. Aardal, R. Kannan, and W.R. Pulleyblank, published in OPTIMA - The Newsletter of the Mathematical Programming Society No. 43, July 1994.

Therefore someone preparing an extended abstract can safely assume that a large portion of the committee will not be experts in the topic of the paper. These are precisely the readers to whom the abstract should be directed. Of course, correctness and newness of the claimed results is necessary for acceptance, but this alone is generally not sufficient. It is also crucial that the importance of the work be understood by the committee in general..."
