This report examines how software engineers answer the questions above, with emphasis on the design of the research project and the organization of the report. Other sources (e.g., [4]) deal with specific issues of technical writing. Very concretely, the examples here come from the papers submitted to ICSE 2002 and the program committee review of those papers. These examples report research results in software engineering. Conferences often include other kinds of papers, including experience reports, materials on software engineering education, and opinion essays.
