\beginabstract
This article describes the production, using \LaTeXe, of
a paper for publication in a conference proceedings book. \endabstract

\section{Introduction}
This article describes the preparation of a paper using the
style file \verb"sprinconf.sty" together with the \LaTeXe\ `article' class file
at eleven point. The main purpose of
the style file is to reset the page dimensions and other parameters of
\LaTeXe\ to produce output with the correct dimensions; however, small changes have also been made
to enhance the visual appearance of articles produced this way and to
format the document into the publisher's house style. This paper
has been produced using the \verb"sprinconf.sty" style file and
so demonstrates its use. The pages produced will be numbered
sequentially from 1 and will not contain running heads or copyright
codes. The final page numbering will be inserted by the publisher; running heads and copyright lines will be inserted when the final page
numbering is known. If you cannot assign copyright in your article to the publisher (e.g.\ you are an employee of the US or UK Governments),
please inform the Editor of the conference proceedings when submitting your paper. \emph{It will be assumed that
copyright is assigned to the publlisher unless stated otherwise}. The structure of this paper is as follows:
section~\ref{sec:titles} describes how the text is formatted,
section~\ref{sec:refs} the references, section~\ref{sec:figs} the
figures and tables and section~\ref{sec:perm} permissions. Tables of the macros in \verb"sprinconf.sty"
are given in an appendix.

\section{Formatting the text\label{sec:titles}}
\subsection{Starting off: title, author, address and abstract}
The source code for a conference article should start with the
following code:
\begin{verbatim}
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{sprinconf}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{bm}
\begin{document}
\end{verbatim}
(\verb"\usepackage{bm}" is a freely available external package to enable the setting of bold maths and
\verb"\usepackage{graphicx}" is a freely available external package to enable good, consistent setting and placement of figures.)
Then follows the title in the following form:
\begin{verbatim}
\title{The title of the article with initial capital
followed by lowercase}
\end{verbatim}
The title is set unjustified and will be broken into lines
automatically when the title is too long to fit on one line.
If the line breaks are unsatisfactory \verb"\\" can be used to produce
a line break at a specific place.
The list of authors follows and after that their affiliations. All
authors should be included in the braces following \verb"\author" and,
if all the
authors are not at the same institute or department,
footnote symbols (in the order \dag, \ddag, \S, $\|$ and \P)
should be used to indicate which author(s) are at which address
(the address(es) given should be where
the work was done). Footnotes can be used to give
other information such as current address, a permanent address or an
e-mail address. Addresses are given with an \verb"\affil{address}"
commmand; there should be one \verb"\affil" for each address. The code
used to generate the authors and their addresses for this paper was as
follows:
\begin{verbatim}
\author{An Author\dag\footnote{Current address: Canopus 
Publishing, 27 Queen Square, Bristol BS1~4ND, UK.}, A Coauthor\dag\ 
and A N Other\ddag}
\affil{\dag\ Department of Physics, Bristol University, Tyndall Avenue, 
Bristol BS8~1TL, UK}
\affil{\ddag\ Canopus Publishing, 27 Queen Square, Bristol
BS1~4ND, UK}
\end{verbatim}
The abstract is preceded by the command \verb"\beginabstract" and
followed by \verb"\endabstract". The abstract should be restricted to
a single paragraph and there should be no blank line or \verb"\par"
between \verb"\beginabstract" and the start of the abstract. The
format for the abstract is thus:
\begin{verbatim}
\beginabstract
The text of the abstract in a single paragraph.
\endabstract
\end{verbatim}

\subsection{Sections and subsections}

The text of the article should normally be divided into sections and
subsections and possibly subsubsections. The \verb"\section" command is
used at the start of each section and is followed by the section
title and label, if required, in braces. The
\verb"\subsection" and \verb"\subsubsection" commands  are similar to
\verb"\section". Numbering of sections, etc, is done
automatically and the title should be typed with an initial
capital letter followed by lowercase letters, rather than capitals
throughout. Do not put a full stop at the end of section or subsection titles
but one is required at the end of subsubsection titles as the text
continues on the same line.  Section and subsection headings will appear in bold
type with subsubsections in
italic. The format for sections, subsections and
subsubsections is therefore:
\begin{verbatim}
\section{Section title in lowercase with initial capital,
no full stop
\label{sectionlabel}}
\subsection{Subsection title in lowercase with initial capital,
no full stop}
\subsubsection{Subsection title in lowercase
with initial capital and full stop.}
The text starts immediately after.
\end{verbatim}

\subsection{Acknowledgments and appendixes}
Acknowledgments should normally form a separate unnumbered section
before the references and any appendixes. The command
\verb"\section*{Acknowledgments}" should be used as the heading.

Appendixes may be used for material that is considered necessary to
the understanding of the subject matter, but not sufficiently
important to be an integral part of the text.
The commands to produce an appendix are:
\begin{verbatim}
\appendix
\section*{Appendix. Title of appendix}
\end{verbatim}


\section{References\label{sec:refs}}

Two different styles of referencing can be used in conference
proceedings: the Harvard alphabetical system and the Vancouver
numerical system. References should be formatted according to the
basic style outlined here. Brief descriptions of the two referencing
systems are given below.

\subsection{Harvard alphabetical system}
In the Harvard system the name of the author appears in the text together
with the year of publication. As appropriate, either the date or the name
and date are included within parentheses. Where there are only two authors
both names should be given in the text; if there are more than two
authors only the first name should appear followed by `\emph{et al}'
(which is obtained by
typing \verb"\etal" e.g.\ \verb"Smith \etal (1988)"). When two or
more references to work by one author or group of authors occur for the
same year they should be identified by including a, b, etc after the date
(e.g.\ Smith 1986a, b). If several references to different pages of the same
article occur the appropriate page number may be given in the text,
e.g.\ Kitchen (1982, p 39).


The list of references at the end of the article should be preceded by
the command \verb"\begin{references}" when the Harvard system is used.
This command typesets the heading and sets the parameters to format
alphabetical references correctly, including turning off the extra
space after the full stop. There should be a blank line after
\verb"\begin{references}" and before the start of the reference list.
The reference list consists of an
alphabetical listing by authors' names and in date order for each
author or group of identical authors. Each individual reference is to
typed as a separate paragraph (leave a line space between entries or
put \verb"\par" at the end of each entry)
 and must be preceded by \verb"\item".
The reference list is completed with
\verb"\end{references}".

There will be two basic types of
entries within the reference list: (i) those to journal articles and
(ii) those to books, conference proceedings and reports. For both of
these types of references font changes are required; in the
subsections below we describe these font changes.

\subsubsection{References to journal articles.}
A normal reference to a journal article contains three changes of
font:
the authors and date appear in roman type, the journal title in
italic, the volume number in bold and the page numbers in roman again.
A typical journal entry would be:
\vspace{-14pt}
\begin{references}

\item Cisneros A 1971 \emph{Astrophys. Space Sci.} {\bf 10} 87

\end{references}

\medskip
\noindent which is obtained by typing
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{references}

\item Cisneros A 1971 \emph{Astrophys. Space Sci.} {\bf 10} 87

\end{references}
\end{verbatim}

Features to note are the following.

(i) The authors should be in the form surname (with only the first
letter capitalized) {\bf followed} by the initials with {\bf no}
periods after the initials. Authors should be separated by a comma
except for the last two which should be separated by `and' with no
comma preceding it. Titles of journal articles may be given in the
reference list but are not essential, the title should be in lower
case, except for an initial capital, and should follow the date.

(ii) The journal is in italic and is abbreviated. If a journal has
several parts denoted by different letters the part letter should be
inserted after the journal in roman type, e.g.\ \emph{Phys.\ Rev.\ \rm A}.
An exception to this is \emph{Physics Letters} where the part letter is
included in the volume number. Several frequently referenced journals
have been assigned a control sequence that typesets the journal name,
in italic. Thus \verb"\JPB" expands to \emph{J. Phys.\ B: At.\ Mol.\ Phys.}\
(prior to 1988) and \verb"\jpb"
expands to \emph{J. Phys.\ B: At.\ Mol.\ Opt.\ Phys.}\ (1988 onwards).
An italic correction
is included where necessary and each definition ends with a space so
there is no need for a control space after them.

(iii) The volume number is bold; the page number is roman. Both the
initial and final page numbers should be given where possible. The
final page number should be in the shortest possible form and
separated from the initial page number by an en rule (\verb"--"), e.g.\
1203--14.

(iv) Where there are two or more references with identical authors,
the authors' names should not be repeated but should be replaced by
\verb"\dash" on the second and following occasions. Thus
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{references}

\item Niskanen J 1978 \NP {\bf 404} 495\par
\item \dash 1979 Private communication

\end{references}
\end{verbatim}



\subsubsection{References to books, conference proceedings and
reports.}
References to books, proceedings and reports are similar, but have only two
changes of font. The authors and date of publication are in roman, the
title of the book is in italic, and the editors, publisher, town of publication
and page number are in roman. Typical references to a book and
a conference proceeding might be

\vspace{-14pt}
\begin{references}

\item Dorman L I 1975 \emph{Variations of Galactic Cosmic Rays}
(Moscow: Moscow State University Press) p~103

\item Caplar R 1973 \emph{Proc. Int. Conf. on Nuclear Physics,
Munich} vol~1 (Amsterdam: North-Holland/American Elsevier) p~517

\end{references}


\medskip
\noindent which would be obtained by typing

\begin{verbatim}
\begin{references}

\item Dorman L I 1975 \emph{Variations of Galactic Cosmic Rays}
(Moscow: Moscow State University Press) p~103

\item Caplar R 1973 \emph{Proc. Int. Conf. on Nuclear Physics,
Munich} vol~1 (Amsterdam: North-Holland/American Elsevier) p~517

\end{references}
\end{verbatim}


Features to note are the following.

(i) Book titles are in italic and should be spelt out in full with
initial capital letters for all except minor words. Words such as
Proceedings, Symposium, International, Conference, Second, etc should
be abbreviated to Proc., Symp., Int., Conf., 2nd,
respectively, but the rest of the title should be given in full,
followed by the town or city where the conference was held. For
Laboratory Reports the Laboratory should be spelt out wherever
possible, e.g.\ \emph{Argonne National Laboratory Report}.

(ii) The volume number as, for example, vol~2, should be followed by
the editors, if any, in a form such as ed~A~J~Smith and P~R~Jones. Use
\etal if there are more than two editors. Next comes the town of
publication and publisher, within brackets and separated by a colon,
and finally the page numbers preceded by `p' if only one number is given
or `pp' if both the initial and final numbers are given.

\subsection{Vancouver system}
In the Vancouver system references are numbered sequentially
throughout the text. The numbers occur within square brackets and one
number can be used to designate several references. The reference list
lists the references numerically in the order they appear in the text
({\bf not alphabetically}). The number
of the reference appears in square brackets, and the references for each
should be typed as a separate paragraph.
The reference
list {\bf must} begin with the command
\verb"\begin{thebibliography}{number}", where \verb"number" is a
single digit if there are less than 10 references and two digits if
there are more than ten but less than 100 references.

As in the Harvard system, there will be two basic types of entries
within the reference list: (i) those to journal articles and (ii)
those to books, conference proceedings and reports. For both of these
types of references font changes are required; the method is exactly
as was described in the previous subsection. In fact, references to
journals, e.g.\ \cite{fang}, and books, e.g.\ \cite{ames}, are very
similar to those in the Harvard system .
There are three major differences. Firstly, \verb"\bibitem"
is used to generate the reference number, in
square brackets. It can be used with a label, i.e.\
\verb"\bibitem{label}" \cite{fang,ames}, in which case
\verb"\cite{label}" will produce the correct reference number within
square brackets within the text, or without [3], i.e.\ \verb"\bibitem{}".
Secondly, two or more references with identical authors are spelt
out in full, i.e.\ they are {\bf not} replaced with \verb"\dash".
Thirdly one reference number can cover several separate references.
If the author(s) are the same, the different references are
separated by a semicolon and only the information that differs is
repeated \cite{kovi}. If the author(s) are different, the command
\verb"\newref" is placed before each separate (but unnumbered reference)
\cite{ibra}. A numerical reference list showing these examples is:

\begin{thebibliography}{9}

\bibitem{fang}Fang M T C and Newland D B 1983 \JPD {\bf 16} 793--810
\bibitem{ames}Ames W F 1965 \emph{Nonlinear Differential
Equations in Engineering} (New York: Academic)
\bibitem{}Gordon S and McBride J 1971 \emph{NASA Report} SP-273
\bibitem{kovi}Kovitya P 1984 \emph{IEEE Trans. on Plasma Sci.}
{\bf 12} 38--42; 1987 \emph{IEEE Trans. on Plasma Sci.} {\bf 15}
294--301
\bibitem{ibra}Ibrahim E Z 1980 \JPD {\bf 13} 2045--65
\newref Stokes A D, Sibilski H and Kovitya P 1989 \JPD {\bf 22} 1702--7

\end{thebibliography}

\normalsize
The code to generate this reference list is as follows:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{thebibliography}{9}

\bibitem{fang}Fang M T C and Newland D B 1983 \JPD {\bf 16} 793--810
\bibitem{ames}Ames W F 1965 \emph{Nonlinear Differential
Equations in Engineering} (New York: Academic)
\bibitem{}Gordon S and McBride J 1971 \emph{NASA Report} SP-273
\bibitem{kovi}Kovitya P 1984 \emph{IEEE Trans. on Plasma Sci.}
{\bf 12} 38--42; 1987 \emph{IEEE Trans. on Plasma Sci.} {\bf 15}
294--301
\bibitem{ibra}Ibrahim E Z 1980 \JPD {\bf 13} 2045--65
\newref Stokes A D, Sibilski H and Kovitya P 1989 \JPD {\bf 22} 1702--7

\end{thebibliography}
\end{verbatim}


\subsection{Reference lists}
A complete reference should provide the reader with enough information
to locate the article concerned and should consist of: name(s) and
initials, date published, title of journal or book, volume number,
editors, if any, and for books town of publication and publisher in
parentheses, and finally the page numbers. Titles of journal articles may
also be included. Up to ten authors may be given in the reference
list; where there are more than ten only the first should be given
followed by `\emph{et al}'. The terms \emph{op.\ cit.}, \emph{loc.\ cit.}\
and \emph{ibid.}\ should not be used. Unpublished conferences and
reports should generally not be included in the reference list and
articles in the course of publication should be entered only if the
journal of publication is known. References to preprints should give
the title of the preprint and/or preprint number (if relevant). A
thesis submitted for a higher degree may be included in the reference
list if it has not been superseded by a published paper and is
available through a library; sufficient information should be given
for it to be traced readily.


\section{Figures and tables\label{sec:figs}}

Figures and tables should be inserted in the text at the most
appropriate place and not placed at the end of the article. As the use of the \verb"graphicx"
package is encouraged, please refer to literature (there are a number of \LaTeX\ publications available commercially or, alternatively,
search the internet for a tutorial on the \verb"graphicx" package---CTAN is an excellent place to begin,
www.ctan.org) for more detailed instructions on its use.

\subsection{Figures}
The general format for figures is:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{figure}[t]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics{figure.eps}
\caption{The figure caption.\label{fig1}}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
\end{verbatim}
where \verb"figure.eps" is the graphics file being incorporated---{\bf note: please supply all graphics files in EPS format}.
The figure caption should have a full stop at the end.
The numbering of the figures is done automatically and figures
can be given labels for cross referencing. The size of the figure should be commensurate with the amount and
value of the information the figure has to convey. Since the page size
may be reduced on reproduction, micron marks or other scales must be
inserted on the diagram itself rather than described in the caption.
Magnifications should not be quoted. Special care should be taken with
the presentation of figures. The lettering should be in a similar
size to the text so that it will be easily readable. Curves on a figure can be described in the caption using
the commands in table~\ref{curves}.

\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\caption{Commands for producing examples of lines in figure
captions.\label{curves}}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\topline
Command&Output\\
\midline
\verb"\dotted"&\dotted\\
\verb"\dashed"&\dashed\\
\verb"\broken"&\broken\\
\verb"\longbroken"&\longbroken\\
\verb"\chain"&\chain\\
\verb"\dashddot"&\dashddot\\
\verb"\full"&\full\\
\bottomline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

\subsection{Tables}
Tables are produced in \LaTeXe's table and center environments. The text
of tables will be in a slightly smaller type size
than normal text.
Vertical rules
should not be used at all and horizontal lines should not be used between
each line of the table, just above and below the table and to separate
headings from the entries in the table. If rows of a table need to be
separated off slightly from neighbouring rows, the command \verb"\bs"
gives a half line space. The top and bottom lines of a
table should be thicker than any other lines in the table and for
these the commands \verb"\topline" and \verb"\bottomline" are used rather
than just \verb"\hline". For the rule separating the headings from the
entries \verb"\midline" should be used; this is \verb"\hline" but with
a half line of space on either side (i.e.\ \verb"\bs\hline\bs").
Units should not normally be given within the body
of a table but
given in brackets in the column headings; however, they can be
included in the caption where there are long column headings or
complicated units.
It can often be difficult to decide on the correct
alignment of columns and there are unfortunately no hard and fast
rules. Useful guidelines, however, are:

\begin{enumerate}
\item[(i)] align decimal points where possible;

\item[(ii)] columns of numbers without decimal points should align right as
if they had decimal points;

\item[(iii)] dashes (use an em rule, \verb"---") in tables should align with
the first complete column on the left-hand side;

\item[(iv)] column headings should normally be aligned left;

\item[(v)] minus signs should be ignored for alignment purposes (i.e.\ `phantom'
minus signs may be necessary);

\item[(vi)] if there is a small column heading over a wide column with an
uneven left-hand edge, the heading may look better if aligned with the
left-hand side of the first entry in that column;

\item[(vii)] column headings spanning two or more minor headings should be
centred.
\end{enumerate}

It may be difficult to satisfy all these points simultaneously but the
most important underlying point is to create a table that is easy to
read and understand and that has a pleasing appearance to the eye.
To aid alignment where the decimal points need to be aligned the
\verb"\0" can be used to produce a space the width of a digit and
\verb"\m" a minus sign sticking out to the left of a column of
numbers. Table~2 demonstrates their use in aligning columns
of numbers.

Table~2 was obtained using the following code:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\caption{A table showing the alignment columns of numbers.}
\begin{tabular}{llll}
\topline
Diameter (mm)&$t_1$ ($\mu$s)&$t_2$ ($\mu$s)&$t_3$ ($\mu$s) \\

15& \m4.185 &\0\097.225 & 100.1 \\
\bottomline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
\end{verbatim}

\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

\section{Permissions}\label{sec:perm}

The author is responsible for obtaining the necessary permissions to quote or
reproduce material, including figures, from already published works,
and to reprint from other publications. An appropriate credit must be included.
Neither the conference organisers nor the publishers are responsible for
clearing any permissions on behalf of the author.
