Your final paper should look like this paper. To ensure that papers will be reproduced clearly and in the correct size and format, please observe the following instructions.} \section{Introduction} Our goal is to obtain, as closely as possible, the same appearance for all papers included in the proceedings of the ISRR 1999. These instructions have been prepared in the preferred format and therefore, you should prepare your paper as closely as possible to this example. Submissions should again be electronic via ftp, and should comprise PDF or Postscript submissions.\\ \begin{flushleft} \begin{tabular}{l} ftp to ftp2.cs.utah.edu. \\ Log in as isrr99, password snowbird. \\ Use your last name for the file: \\ \hspace*{10mm}Lastname.ps or Lastname.pdf. \end{tabular} \end{flushleft} The total length of the paper should not exceed 8 pages. All papers must be received before December 1, 1999. \section{Manuscript Preparation} Text and illustrations should fill, but not extend beyond an area of 157 x 227 mm. Therefore, authors should adhere closely to the dimensions of Table \ref{Margins} and apply them to a document that will print onto A4 (210 x 297 mm) paper. Just copying this template will do the job. \begin{table}[h] \caption{Dimensions for creating correct printing area.} \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{|l|@{\hspace*{0.5in}}r|} \hline Top margin & 38 mm \\ \hline Bottom margin & 32 mm \\ \hline Left margin & 30 mm \\ \hline Right margin & 23 mm \\ \hline Column width & 76.5 mm \\ \hline Column length & 227 mm \\ \hline Gutter between columns & 4 mm \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{center} \label{Margins} \end{table} \section{Title and Abstract} The title of your paper, the authors' names, and the affiliations should appear as in this example. Keep the size and font commands throughout. The suggested length of the abstract is from 5 to 12 lines. Keep the size commands. \section{Headings: Indentation and Capitalization} The first paragraph following any sort of heading should not be indented, but all subsequent paragraphs need to be indented. Do not end a page with a heading unless there is room for at least two lines of text as well. For the top-level headings, please use capital letters for the first letter of each significant word. \subsection{Subheadings and capitalization} With subheadings, only the first letter of the first word should be a capital letter. \subsubsection{Subsubheadings and capitalization} With subsubheadings also, only the first letter of the first word should be a capital letter. \section{Page Numbers} Do not generate page numbers. The settings in this example automatically suppress page numbers. \begin{figure} \setlength{\unitlength}{1mm} \begin{picture}(76.5,50) \put(0,0){\framebox(76.5,50){Your figure goes here.}} \end{picture} \caption{Figure caption is with a small font.} \end{figure} \section{Figures and Tables} Captions for figures and tables should be 9pt; this template automatically does this. Only use capital letters for the first word in the caption. The caption on tables (Table \ref{Margins}) should be placed at the top. This can simply be done by putting the caption command as the first line in the table environment. It is essential that all figures and tables fit into the required area of 157 x 227 mm. Only black and white photos and figures are accepted; ensure that they print clearly. Try to avoid shading in figures and tables, because that does not reproduce well. Annotation of figures must be clear and legible; avoid the use of very small point size when annotating. \section{Text Citations and Reference List} Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text by Arabic numerals in square brackets. For example, ``...previously published [1].'' This is done automatically in Latex by ``...previously published \cite{foo:baz}.'' and by listing the references in the order of first appearance (\cite{key:foo} appears second). The references should be set in a smaller font. Please keep the size command below. If a work has more than 3 authors, list only the first 3 followed by ``et al.'' \subsubsection*{Acknowledgments} This is how to do an unnumbered subsection, which comes out in 10 point bold font. {\small \begin{thebibliography}{9} \bibitem{foo:baz} Expert, A.N., 1989, {\em A Book He Wrote,} His Publisher. \bibitem{key:foo} Author, I.M., 1987, ``Some related article I wrote,'' {\em Some Fine Journal}, Vol. 17, pp. 1-100. \end{thebibliography} } \end{document}
