I think in the Abstract you need to summerise the whole work and the Introduction is just what is says it is!

An abstract is usually used in a more formal context, such as when giving a paper at a university or publishing in a journal. Usually a paper that has an abstract will also have an introduction which is the first part of the paper.

Clear as mud, hey?
