+Your dissertation abstract goes here. This should be a single
+paragraph. Try to keep it as brief as possible (less than 200 words
+--- if this abstract page runs onto a second page, it needs
+shortening), while keeping in mind that it should touch on all the
+important aspects of your research --- consider whether someone
+unfamiliar with your research area would be able to determine whether
+your research is relevant to them, or not. Keep in mind that the
+abstract may be the only thing someone reads before choosing to either
+discard your work, or keep reading. Also, make sure that there are no
+references in the abstract. The keywords list should include no more
+than ten keywords. Keywords may be single words, or multi-word terms
+(such as ``neural networks'' or ``particle swarm optimisers''). When
+choosing keywords, consider terms that are descriptive of your
+research, and are likely to be used in search queries that should find
+your work.
