\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
  The {\it EMCSR'2010 Proceedings\/} will be printed directly from
  camera-ready copies sent electronically to the conference
  secretariat \texttt{<sec@ofai.at>}.  To ensure that all papers in
  the {\it Proceedings\/} have a uniform appearance, authors are asked
  to adhere to the instructions given in this document.
\end{abstract}

\section{Introduction}

The electronic submissions for EMCSR'2010 (in PDF format
{\em only\/}) will be used directly for the production of the
proceedings.  Papers ought to be formatted for A4 or {\bf $8$-$1/2
  \times 11''$} page sizes.

The electronic documents ought to be suitable for reproduction at 600
dots per inch or better in black-on-white.
%Output from such formatting software should be provided printed on heavy bond
% paper at 600 dots per inch or 300 dots per inch using a laser printer.
In particular, care ought to be taken that all graphic material---such
as plots and pictures---can be rendered without loss of information.
% {\it Do not use a line printer or dot matrix printer for final output.}

%Please make sure that the print on your masters is dark and easily legible!
%The publisher cannot improve light or faded copy.
Papers with especially poor quality output (such as low resolution fonts)
and papers that significantly deviate from these instructions (such as
eight-point or smaller type, or single-column format) will {\em not\/}
be included in the proceedings.


\section{Word Processing Software}

As detailed below, ASCS has prepared and made available a set of
\LaTeX{} macros and a Word template to assist in formatting your
paper. If you are using some other word processing software (such as
OpenOffice or WordPerfect), please follow the format instructions
given here and ensure that your final paper looks as much like this
sample as possible.

\section{Style and Format}


\LaTeX{} and Word style files that implement these instructions
can be retrieved electronically.
(See Appendix~\ref{latex} for instructions on how to obtain these files.)

\subsection{Layout}

Format manuscripts two columns to a page, in the manner of these
instructions.  The exact dimensions for pages are:
\begin{itemize}
\item left and right margins: 20 mm
\item column width: 82 mm
\item gap between columns: 6 mm
\item top margin---first page: 30 mm
\item top margin---other pages: 15 mm
\item bottom margin: 42 mm
\item column height---first page: 180 mm
\item column height---other pages: 240 mm
\end{itemize}

All measurements assume an A4-size page ({\bf $210 \times 297$}~mm).  
For {\bf $8$-$1/2 \times 11''$} size paper use the given 
top and left margins, column width,
height, and gap and modify the bottom and right margins as necessary.

\subsection{Title and Author Information}

Center the title on the entire width of the page in a 14-point bold font.
Place the names of authors below the title in a 12-point bold font, and
affiliations and complete addresses directly below the author names in a
12-point (non-bold) font. A single author or a list of authors having
the same affiliation should appear centered on the entire width of the page.
An example for authors with different affiliations is shown in the
title of these format instructions.

Credit to a sponsoring agency appears in a footnote at the bottom of the
left column of the first page.  See the example in these instructions.

\subsection{Abstract}

Place the abstract at the beginning of the first column 75~mm from the
top of the page, unless that does not leave enough room for the title and
author information.  Use a slightly smaller width than in the body of the
paper.  Head the abstract with ``Abstract'' centered above the body of the
abstract in a 12-point bold font.  The body of the abstract should be in
the same font as the body of the paper.

The abstract should be a concise, one-paragraph summary
describing the general thesis and conclusion of your
paper. A reader should be able to learn the purpose of the
paper and the reason for its importance from the abstract. The
abstract should be no more than 200 words long.

\subsection{Text}

The main body of the text immediately follows the abstract. 
Use 10-point type in a clear, readable font with 1-point leading (10 on
11).  For reasons of uniformity, use Computer Modern font if possible.  If
Computer Modern is unavailable, Times Roman is preferred.

Indent when starting a new paragraph, except after major headings.

Here is an example how to format items:
\begin{itemize}
\item This is the first item,
\item this is item number two. It contains a long text which runs along
several lines. Please note the correct indentation. Finally,
\item this is the last item.
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Headings and Sections}

When necessary, headings should be used to separate major sections of your
paper.
(These instructions use many headings to demonstrate their
appearance---your paper should have fewer headings.)

\subsubsection{Section Headings}

Format section headings in 12-point bold type in the style shown in these
instructions.  Leave a blank space of approximately 10 points above and 4
points below section headings.  Number sections with arabic numerals.

\subsubsection{Subsection Headings}

Format subsection headings in 11-point bold type.  Leave a blank space of
approximately 8 points above and 3 points below subsection headings.
Number subsections with the section number and the subsection number (in
arabic numerals) separated by a period.

\subsubsection{Subsubsection Headings}

Format subsubsection headings in 10-point bold type.  Leave a blank space of
approximately 6 points above subsubsection headings.  Do not number
subsubsections.

\subsubsection{Special Sections}

The acknowledgments section, if included, follows the main body of the text
and is headed ``Acknowledgments,'' formated in the same style as a section
heading, but without a number. 
This section includes acknowledgments of help from
colleagues, financial support, and permission to publish.  
Please try to limit acknowledgments to no more than three sentences.

Any appendices follow the acknowledgments (or directly follow the text) and
look like sections, except that they are numbered with capital letters
instead of arabic numerals. 

The references section is headed ``References,'' formated in the same
style as a section heading, but without a number.
A sample list of references is given at the end of these
instructions.
Use a consistent format for references, such as provided by
Bib\TeX{}.

\subsection{Citations}

Citations within the text should include the author's last name and
the year of publication, for example \cite{trappl:2004}.
Append lowercase letters to the year in cases of ambiguity.
Treat multiple authors as in the following examples:
\cite{horn:etal:2002} (for more than two authors) and
\cite{payr:trappl:2004} (for two authors).
If the author portion of a citation is obvious, omit it,
e.g., Horn \shortcite{horn:2000b}.
Collapse multiple citations as follows:
\cite{horn:2000a,petta:mueller:2002}.%
%\nocite{cohn:ecai94}%

\subsection{Footnotes}

Place footnotes at the bottom of the page in a 9-point font.  Refer to
them with superscript numbers.\footnote{This is how your footnotes
  should appear.} Separate them from the text by a short
line.\footnote{Note the line separating these footnotes from the
  text.}  But avoid footnotes altogether if possible: they interrupt
the flow of the text.

\subsection{Page Numbers}

Final papers must not include page numbering, as actual page numbers
will be assigned by the publisher. Failure to comply may result in
exclusion of your paper from the proceedings.

\section{Illustrations}

\subsection{General Instructions}

Place illustrations (figures, drawings, tables, and photographs) throughout
the paper at the places where they are first discussed, rather than at the
end of the paper.  If placed at the bottom or top of a page, illustrations
may run across both columns.

%Securely attach them to the master form with glue stick, spray
%adhesive, rubber cement, or white tape.  Do not use transparent tape
%as the printing process blurs copy under transparent tape.

Number illustrations sequentially.  Use references of the following form:
Figure 1, Table 2, etc.  Place illustration numbers and captions under
illustrations.  Leave a margin of 6~mm around the area covered by the
illustration and caption.  Use 9-point type for captions, labels, and
other text in illustrations.
%Do not use line-printer printouts or screen-dumps for figures---they
%will be illegible when printed.

Avoid screens or pattern fills as they tend to reproduce poorly.

\subsection{Drawings}

Draw original line drawings in {\em solid black}.  Lines should be
heavy enough to reproduce clearly. Do not use color in drawings.  In
multi-plot graphs, make sure individual lines can be distinguished
with ease.

\subsection{Scanned Material}

Scanned material such as photographs should be considered only when of
outstanding importance. Verify with special care it will render
properly in black and white!

%Due to the complicated handling required for a proper reproduction
%and the tight time scale it will
%not be possible to include photographs in the proceedings.
%Please do not include photographs in your paper.

\section{Length of Papers}

Authors are allowed {\em six\/} (6) pages.  All illustrations and
references must be included in the 6-page allowance.  

We will {\em not\/} accept any extra pages.
Papers over six pages will not be included in the proceedings.

\section{Submission}

Keep a copy of your submission (including all required source files)
for reference and as backup in case your paper should get lost in
processing.

Draft final papers \emph{must be sent by email} to the conference
secretariat (sec@ofai.at). Send your submission as attachment in \textbf{.PDF
format only}, no later than \textbf{November 10, 2009}.
Please use the following subject header for your email: \\
\texttt{EM10\_<letter of Symposium>\_<Name of author>} \\
e.g. \texttt{EM10\_A\_Meyer}. This should also be the filename of the
manuscript.

If accepted, your revised final paper must be submitted no later than
{\bf February 5, 2010}, again by email, following the naming
conventions above.

{\em Papers received later than these dates will not be considered for
  reviewing and will not be included in the Proceedings.}

Please understand we cannot take any responsibilities for technical
problems that may result e.g.\ due to heavy server load near the
deadlines. In your own interest, upload a first version of your draft
submission or revised final paper as soon as possible: subsequent
uploads of improved versions will still be possible until expiration
of the respective deadline.

%Do not fold your paper for mailing.
%Mark your envelope clearly: {\bf Do Not Fold or Bend}. 

%Use a reliable delivery service and address your
%package to:
%\begin{quote}
%EMCSR'2010\\
%Austrian Society for Cybernetic Studies\\
%Freyung 6/6\\
%A-1010 Vienna\\
