Aw Write Conclusion

Output Files

Write three paragraph files under sections/conclusion/:

Total target: ~500 words (concise conclusion)

Workflow

1. Read all previous sections to extract:

   • Main contributions (from introduction and discussion)
   • Key quantitative results (from results and experiment)
   • Specific future directions (from discussion)
   • Citation keys to reuse

2. Write paragraph files in order:

   • 7-1-summary.tex first (restate contributions)
   • 7-2-findings.tex second (key findings with numbers)
   • 7-3-future-work.tex third (specific future work)
   • abstract.tex last (after all other sections complete)

3. Assemble chapter file sections/conclusion.tex with \input{} commands in correct order

Elsevier LaTeX Format

\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec:conclusion}

\input{sections/conclusion/7-1-summary}
\input{sections/conclusion/7-2-findings}
\input{sections/conclusion/7-3-future-work}

Content Guidelines

7-1-summary.tex (Contributions)

• Restate the paper's main contributions in past tense
• Use numbered list or bullet points for clarity
• Do NOT introduce new information
• Example structure:

  \paragraph{Summary of Contributions}
  This paper presented \textbf{X} to address the problem of \textbf{Y}.
  The key contributions are threefold:
  \begin{itemize}
      \item First, we proposed \textbf{Method A} \cite{...}, which achieves ...
      \item Second, we designed \textbf{Framework B} that ...
      \item Third, we released \textbf{Dataset C} containing ...
  \end{itemize}
  

7-2-findings.tex (Key Findings)

• Include specific quantitative results (accuracy, F1, speedup, etc.)
• Reference figures and tables with \ref{}
• Compare with baseline methods using citation
• Avoid interpretation (save for discussion)
• Example: "Our method achieved 94.2% accuracy on Dataset X, outperforming Smith et al. \cite{smith2023} by 3.1 percentage points."

7-3-future-work.tex (Future Directions)

• Be specific, not generic (avoid "future work includes exploring more datasets")
• Reference limitations identified in discussion
• Suggest concrete extensions:
  • New application domains
  • Architectural improvements
  • Theoretical analysis
  • Scalability to larger settings
• Example: "While our approach handles static graphs, future work should address temporal graphs where node features evolve over time."

abstract.tex

• 150-300 words
• No citations
• Structure: Problem → Method → Results → Conclusion
• Write this last after all sections are complete

\begin{abstract}
... (problem statement) ...
... (proposed method) ...
... (key results with numbers) ...
... (conclusion and implications) ...
\end{abstract}

Quality Checks

Before completing:

• Total word count: ~500 words (within 20% of target)
• All quantitative findings include numbers with units
• Future work is specific (not generic statements)
• Citation keys resolve to entries in references.bib
• No \placeholder{} or TODO/FIXME remaining
• Elsevier format: \section{Conclusion}, \label{sec:conclusion}
• Abstract written last, after all sections complete

Integration

This skill is invoked by aw-execute during wave execution. It reads from previously written sections and outputs paragraph files that aw-execute merges into the final chapter file.
