DOs and DON'Ts
Do not write: there are 3,000 related papers, there is no way I am going to read them all!
Do write: the literature on this topic is vast, we outline below some key previous works
Do not write: we had to remove 2 pages from the conference submission, now we added them back for the journal version
Do write: portions of this work were previously presented in summary form
Do not write: if you remove your glasses and step back you may see this is not totally random
Do write: the data suggests a certain correlation to be studied in future work
DOs and DON'Ts (2)
Do not write: of course we assume an infinite budget, P=NP, the flat-earth conjecture, etc.
Do write: we omit the details for lack of space
Do not write: we tried lots of stuff and were getting desperate, the only thing that kind of worked was this
Do write: we summarize only the main results
Do not write: we started reviewing the literature two days before the deadline
Do write: in a very recent work [x] did something similar, we will compare against it in future work
Experiments
The secret is to pick the right baseline

Selecting a venue
It is not always easy ...
Option A:First international multi-workshop on medium-scale systems (Hawaii)
Option B:The 34th ACM STHG (Scranton, PA)
