CONTENTS OF AISB-IACAP-2012 LATEX ZIP FILE
Updated: 8 April 2012

Instructions for use of these files are below the list of files.

FILES:

    AREADME.txt
        This file

    AISB2010-template.tex
        latex source file which can be copied and edited to produce
        your file for submission. It is also used to produce the
        guidelines PDF file, below.

    turing.jpg
    turing.ps
        Two image files for use in the template latex file, producing
        the same image.
        The .ps file is used by the 'latex' command.
        The .jpg file is used by the 'pdflatex' command.

        The appropriate image file is invoked by this command in the
        latex source file:

            \centerline{\includegraphics[height=3cm]{turing}}

    aisb.bib
        Samble bibtex input file used to produce citations and the
        bibliography at the end of the latex output file (whether
        of type .pdf, .dvi or .ps)

        This is invoked by bibliography command at the end of the
        latex input file:

            \bibliography{aisb}

        Look at aisb.bib to see how to format your bibliography
        entries if you are not familiar with bibtex.

    turing2012.cls

        This latex class file is invoked in your latex input file by
        the line at the top of the file:

            \documentclass{turing2012}

    AISB.bst
        This is the bibliography style file used by the 'bibtex'
        command to determine the format for the bibliography entries
        and citations.
        After the 'latex' or 'pdflatex' command is run, the
        behaviour of the 'bibtex' command depends on this
        instruction on line 18 in the latex input file, which
        assumes the '.bst' suffix:

            \bibliographystyle{AISB}

    AISB-IACAP2012-FormattingGuidelines.pdf
        This is both a file giving instructions for use of the
        turing2012 latex style files and also a sample of the result of
        following the instructions. If you successfully run the
        commands shown below you will produce a pdf file whose
        contents are the same as this file.


=======================================================================
INSTRUCTIONS

After extracting the contents of the .zip file change to the
directory produced whose contents are listed above.

Test that you have a recent version of latex available that can be
used to generate your own pdf file for submission, by running the
following commands to prepare PDF output from the template latex
file:

    pdflatex AISB-IACAP2012-template
        reads the input file (assumed by adding '.tex' to the given
        file name, and prepares an auxilliary file used by
        subsequent commands

    bibtex AISB-IACAP2012-template
        reads the input file and the .bst style file and prepares
        auxilliary files used by subsequent commands to create citations
        and the bibliography

Run the next command THREE times:

    pdflatex AISB-IACAP2012-template

Each time it reads the .tex input file and previously prepared
auxilliary files (some of which it also modifies). This process is
required to get all the bibliography information into the output,
and also to format the citations, and to make internal cross
references correct.


The above commands will eventually produce the required output file
in PDF format:

    AISB-IACAP2012-template.pdf

plus several additional files, including .bbl, .blg, .aux, and .log
files.

The file AISB-IACAP2012-FormattingGuidelines.pdf is a re-named version of
a file produced by going through the above steps. I.e. it shows what
the result of running those commands on the template file should be.

If  you copy and rename the .tex input file and the .bib
bibliography file you should edit the new .tex file and .bib file to
produce your paper or poster abstract submission.

If you use any figures or diagrams you can use the 'includegraphics'
command mentioned above to include the files. The pdflatex command
can use graphical input files in various formats including .pdf,
.jpg, .png and others. It will add the suffix depending on what it
finds, so your 'includegraphics' command should not include the
file suffix.

The 'latex' command requires '.ps' or '.eps' graphical files, as
illustrated below.


Only the pdf file should be sent in when you submit your file for
review. For the final submission you may or may not be asked to
submit all your source files, depending on how the symposium or
conference proceedings are to be produced.

===================================================================

USING 'latex' INSTEAD OF 'pdflatex'

If you don't have 'pdflatex', you can use 'latex' instead,
e.g.

    latex AISB-IACAP2012-template

wherever the above instructions mentioned the 'pdflatex' command.

That will produce a file

    AISB-IACA2012-template.dvi

In order to obtain a postscript file from that run the command:

    dvips AISB-IACAP2012-template

It will produce a postscript file

    AISB-IACAP2012-template.ps

That file can be converted to pdf in various ways, e.g., on linux:

    ps2pdf AISB-IACAP2012-template.ps

will produce this pdf file:

    AISB-IACAP2012-template.pdf

However, it is much simpler to use pdflatex if you have it.
