Title: Short description of the template01 Contact: Technical University of Denmark Department of Informatics & Mathematical Modelling Para'04 Conference Proceedings, Full Papers Richard Petersens Plads - Building 321 DK-2800 Kongens Lyngby - Denmark Attn: Jerzy Wasniewski, email: jw@imm.dtu.dk 1. "template01" illustrates how to organize a full paper for the PARA'04 Springer-Verlag conference proceedings. There are here two latex files "template01_ver1.tex" and "template01_ver2.tex". The "template01_ver1.tex" file is the test file. It should run separately. The "template01_ver2.tex" will be included to the proceeding book together with other paper latex files. This two files are almost identical. The "template01_ver2.tex" became from the "template01_ver1.tex" where the front latex commands \documentclass[]{llncs} \pagestyle{myheadings} \usepackage[]{graphicx} \begin{document} and the end command \end{document} were commented out and appendix deleted. You should provide to me two latex files, one to be compiled as a stand-alone document (as in "template01_ver1.tex"), another as a part of the proceedings book (as in "template01_ver2.tex"). 2. The "\title" command contains the title of the paper. 3. The "\author" command contains the speaker name and co-author names. The name should be in the order: a main first name, all the middle names should be abbreviated by a first letter (after "dot"), no space should separate the middle initials. Then the family name. 1) I am "Arthur Fisher" then "Arthur Fisher". 2) I am "George Bonaventure Ford" then "George B. Ford". 3) I am "John Adam Isak Peterson" then "John A.I. Peterson". 4) I am "Paul Arthur Adam Isak David de Paris" then "Paul A.A.I.D. de Paris". Every name should be followed by the Springer command "\inst{k}", where k=1,2,...,n and n is a total number of institutions that co-authors represent. About "\inst{k}" see below. 4. "\institute" is a Springer command defined in "llncs.cls" style file. It defines speaker's and co-authors' institution which is connected with the name(s) by the "\inst{k}" command (see above). For more details see the template "template_ver1.tex" and "template_ver2.tex". 4. Next go the "\maketitle" command. 5. The "\index" command(s) for the names in point 3. look: \index{Fisher, Arthur} \index{Ford, George B.} \index{Peterson, Paul A.I.D.} \index{de Paris, Paul A.A.I.D.} 6. The "\markboth{names}{short_title}. The "short_title" should not be longer than 60 characters. The "names": if there is only one author \markboth{Arthur Fisher}{short_title} or \markboth{Paul A.A.I.D. de Paris}{short_title} if there are two co-authors \markboth{A. Fisher and P.A.A.I.D. de Paris} {short_title} if there are more than 2 co-authors and the length of names is not longer then 60 characters \markboth{A. Fisher, G.B. Ford and J.A.I. Peterson} {short_title} if the length of co-author names is longer than 60 characters \markboth{A. Fisher and et al.}{short_title} 7. The abstract should be no longer than 75 words. The text of the abstract should be closed between \begin{abstract} ... ... ... \end{abstract} 8. The '\section{Introduction}' 9. The titles of the next sections depend of your paper. 10. The "template_ver1.tex" and "template_ver1.tex" contain several graph include commands. The graphs (pictures) files should be prepared as "*.eps" files. The "template_ver1.tex" and "template_ver1.tex" include graphs side by side using the latex commands "figure" and "tabular". Appendix has been added to demonstrate inclusion of graphs in a simple way. 11. The bibliography must be connected by "\cite{...}" command with the text of the paper. It must be included in the latex file. See "template_ver1.tex" and "template_ver2.tex" files. Thank you very much. On behalf of the PARA'04 Organizing Committee, Jerzy Wasniewski Email: jw@imm.dtu.dk
