\section{Introduction}

The manuscript will be used as camera-ready artwork and therefore, some basic rules must be followed to ensure quality and standardization of the conference proceedings:
\begin{itemize}
\item be accurate in your typing and thorough in your proof-reading. Your manuscript will be electronically reproduced without any proof-reading or correction,
\item limit the manuscript to \textbf{fifteen (15)} pages, including text, illustrations, references and appendices,
\item limit the size of the digital version of your manuscript to \textbf{five megabytes (5 Mb)}.
\end{itemize}
The digital version of your paper will be processed to appear on the on-line conference proceedings. This digital version of your manuscript should be in \textbf{Portable Document Format (PDF)}. Section \ref{s:pdf} discusses various strategies to obtain a PDF file of your manuscript.

\section{Layout of text}

\subsection{General}

The text should fit entirely into a rectangle of \mbox{\textbf{245mm x 166mm}}. Use the following margins on DIN A4-paper \mbox{(297mm x 210mm)}:
\begin{tabbing}
\hspace{4mm} \= $\bullet$ \hspace{1mm} \= top margin \hspace{10mm} \= 30mm,\\
\> $\bullet$ \> bottom margin \> 22mm,\\
\> $\bullet$ \> left margin  \> 22mm,\\
\> $\bullet$ \> right margin \> 22mm.
\end{tabbing}
Use a \textbf{1 column} format. Do \textbf{not} add \textbf{page numbers} nor any other header or footer to the pages.

Use the font Times or Times New Roman 11pt for normal text. The text should be justified. Use single line spacing. Insert a vertical space of 5pt between paragraphs.

Use Helvetica 14pt bold for the first heading, Helvetica 12pt bold for the second heading and Helvetica 11pt bold for the third heading. If Helvetica is not available the Arial font may be used.

Leave one blank line above and one beneath the headings. If a heading falls at the bottom of a page, transfer it to the top of the next page and leave blank space at the bottom.

Similar rules as for regular headings apply to appendix headings as well.

\subsection{First page}

\subsubsection{Title of the paper}

The title should appear left justified at the top of the first page, in Helvetica 17pt bold. Only capitalize the first letter of the title and ensure that words are not cut off at the end of a line in your title, unless the original word contains a hyphen.

Leave a space of 10mm (28pt) between the title and the authors. Use Times New Roman 11pt \textbf{bold} for the name(s) of the author(s). Type on the next lines (in Times New Roman 11pt) the affiliation of the authors. Use the format as specified in this document: \textless institution/corporation/university\textgreater ~[comma] \textless department/division\textgreater ~[comma] \textless optional lower divisions \textgreater ~[line break] \textless address information (city, state and country)\textgreater. Multiple affiliations should be separated by a blank line. If desired, add \textbf{a single}(!) e-mail address. In case only one affiliation is applicable, you can omit the superscript.

\subsubsection{Abstract}

Include a short abstract (max. 10 lines). Use the word `Abstract' as heading in 14pt Helvetica bold, followed directly by the abstract itself. Leave 2 open lines before starting the text or first heading of the paper.

\subsection{Equations and units}

Equations should be centered and must be allowed sufficient space to ensure clarity. Equations must be numbered consecutively, with the numbers parenthesized at the end of the corresponding line: (1), (2) etc. Example:
\begin{equation}
\sin^2 \phi + \cos^2 \phi = 1 \label{e:circle}
\end{equation}

Use the International System of Units (SI) throughout the paper wherever possible. Acceptable alternates are to use SI units followed by other common units in parentheses, or vice versa, i.e. 25.4mm (1in), 1inch (25.4mm).

\subsection{Figures and tables}

Figures and tables must be numbered consecutively. Each figure and table should be centered, should not exceed the text width and should be accompanied by a small (1 or 2 lines), yet clear, caption. The correct place for a caption is at the bottom of a figure (see Figure~\ref{f:circle}), and at the top of a table (see Table~\ref{t:circle}). The most convenient place for figures is at the top of a page. Leave about 2 lines of space between the actual text and figure (or table) including the caption.

\begin{figure}[t]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=80mm]{circle_rgb}
\caption{$x = \cos \phi$ and $y = \sin \phi$ \label{f:circle}}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

\begin{table}[ht]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{c|cc}
$\phi$   & $x = \cos \phi$ & $y = \sin \phi$ \\
\hline
$0$      &    $1$          &    $0$          \\
$\pi/6$  &  $\sqrt{3}/2$   &    $1/2$        \\
$\pi/3$  &    $1/2$        &  $\sqrt{3}/2$   \\
$\pi/2$  &    $0$          &    $1$
\end{tabular}
\caption{Quarter of a circle \label{t:circle}}
\end{table}

Use only those illustrations pertinent to, and cited in the text. Tables and figures may be \textbf{in color}, but keep in mind that some people will print your manuscript in grayscale for off-line reading. Use preferably 2mm size of lettering and lines of 0.2mm thick on the figures. 


\subsection{Acknowledgements and references}

Acknowledgements, if any, should be typed at the end of the text \textbf{before} the references.

References should be quoted in the text between square brackets (e.g. \cite{heylen1997modal}) and should be listed in order of appearance according to IEEE style, the default style of this document. Examples of how to reference books \cite{heylen1997modal}, journal papers \cite{sas1995active} and publications
in proceedings \cite{boonen2001modified} are shown at the end of these instructions.

\textit{BibTeX} and \textit{bibliography database files} (.bib files) are extremely useful to include references to the text. Another (less convenient) method is manually preparing the \textit{thebibliography} list, where you need to accurately format each item in the bibliography based on the IEEE reference style. Both methods are illustrated in the \LaTeX-template, the former is active, the latter is commented.

There is a \textbf{maximum of 20\% self-citations} allowed.

\subsection{Appendices and nomenclature}

Appendices, if any, should be inserted at the end of the text \textbf{after} the references. Make sure to insert a page-break after the references to start the appendices on a new page. Appropriate commands are defined in document-class \textit{ISMA-USD}, its usage is illustrated in the \LaTeX-template.

Nomenclature, if you want to include this, should be entered as an appendix at the end of the text. An example is added in appendix \ref{a:nomenclature}, where a table is used to ensure a neat overview of all symbols used.

\section{Generation of PDF file \label{s:pdf}}

\subsection{\LaTeX ~users}

Pdf\LaTeX{} can be used for the generation of the digital version of your manuscript. This
program can be obtained at e.g. CTAN (the Comprehensive \TeX{} Archive Network, \textbf{http://www.ctan.org}). Pdf\LaTeX{} directly generates a PDF file from a \LaTeX{} file. Furthermore, it allows the use of the `hyperref' package (\textbf{http://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperref}), which is required to attach some document information to the PDF file (see the \LaTeX{} template file).

\subsection{MS Word users}

MS Word users can either directly generate PDF files or first print to a Postscript file, which will be converted to PDF in a later stage. If the Adobe Acrobat Distiller or the Adobe PDFWriter is installed, then export your Word document in PDF format. Recent versions of MS Word also allow to directly save in PDF format. Otherwise, first install a Postscript printer and use the option `Print to File' to generate a Postscript file. The Postscript file is converted to PDF as described in the next section. In both cases the conference secretary will attach the document information to the manuscript.

\subsection{Postscript to PDF conversion \label{s:ps2pdf}}

The commercially available program Adobe Acrobat Distiller is capable of converting Postscript files to PDF format. Alternative distiller programs, e.g. {\tt ps2pdf} and {\tt ghostview} (\textbf{http://www.cs.wisc.edu/$\sim$ghost/}), exist. Recall that the paper size must be A4 and therefore the online distiller of \textbf{http://www.ps2pdf.com} is not applicable, since it is only capable of exporting PDF files in US letter size. If you do not succeed in generating a proper digital version of your PDF file, please do not hesitate to contact Javier del Fresno Zarza (\textbf{[email protected]}).

\subsection{Fonts in PDF \label{s:pdf-fonts}}

In order to circumvent problems concerning the displaying and printing of certain font types (e.g. Asian fonts), it is recommended to use \textbf{only} the \textbf{Times New Roman} and the \textbf{Helvetica} font in the entire document. This includes figures (e.g. generated by {\sc Matlab}), table, equations, captions, \ldots.
