FPSAC’12

Author Instruction

In order to prepare your submission, please take the following steps to format your document according to the specifications of DMTCS. Please prepare your document using standard LaTeX. If you have any user macros, please include them in your submission.

1. Download and unpack the file sample.zip. After unpacking, you will find three folders for Windows, old Mac, and UNIX/new Mac. Each folder contains

   • the LaTeX class file dmtcs.cls ;
   • the main LaTeX file sample.tex ;
   • the bibliography file sample.bib ;
   • the output PDF file sample.pdf ;
   • the graphics files dmtcs.pdf and dmtcs.eps.

   LaTeX the sample.tex file and make sure that your output matches the sample.pdf file. Then use the sample.tex file as your template. Your submission can be in either PostScript or PDF format.

2. Follow the directions given in sample.pdf. When the instructions in sample.pdf are in conflict with the FPSAC-specific instructions given on this page, please follow the instructions on this page.

3. Fill in your author and institution information.

4. If your title is rather long, please give a short title substitution for the inside headers, e.g.

   \title[short title]{Long, wordy title}.

   The same goes for your name, if you have a preferred short form.

5. You must provide 3 to 6 keywords in the form

   \keywords{keyword1, keyword2, keyword3}

   that describe the topic of your paper.

6. Include a summary with citations written out rather than referencing the bibliography. FPSAC/SFCA has a tradition of encouraging bilingualism, and thus you are strongly encouraged to include a summary in French. There are people available to help with this, if help is required. Please format your summary as follows (note the nested structure):

   \begin{abstract}
     \paragraph{Abstract.}
     text in English
   
     \paragraph{Résumé.}
     texte en français
   
   \end{abstract}

7. Extended abstracts, when compiled using the dmtcs.cls class file, should not exceed 12 pages. They should be submitted electronically through the START Conference Manager as either postscript or pdf files.
