                Instructions for preparing submissions
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This zip archive contains the LaTeX style "fsttcs.cls" to be used
for typesetting submissions to FSTTCS 2009, along with some example 
files and the output they produce.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Contents of the archive:

README.txt          :  This file
fsttcs.cls          :  LaTeX style for FSTTCS 2009 submissions
example1.{tex,pdf}  :  Example latex file with single affiliation
example2.{tex,pdf}  :  Example latex file with multiple affiliations

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Important points:

1. The page limit is 12 pages.

2. Other than some specific changes for formatting the titlepage,
   you should be able to typeset any normal latex document that uses
   "article.cls" or "llncs.cls" by just using

     \documentclass{fsttcs}

   instead of \documentclass{article} or \documentclass{llncs}.

3. In normal LaTeX documents, the commands \title{...},
   \author{...}, etc go in the preamble (before \begin{document})
   and are inserted into the document with the command
   \maketitle.  

   When using "fsttcs.cls", these commands go after
   \begin{document}, and \maketitle is not required.

   In particular, there are two commands to typeset the
   affiliation of the authors:

   \affiliation{...}  is to be used for a single affiliation and
   is most appropriate when one or more authors share an
   affiliation.

   \institute{..}{...} is more flexible and can be used for
   multiple authors with multiple affiliations.  When using
   \institute{..}{...}, each \institute has a numeric tag and
   these tags can be appended to authors using \inst{...}.

   Using \institute{}{...} without a numeric tag is similar to
   \affiliation{...} except \institute{}{...} leaves a larger gap
   between the author(s) and the name of the institution.

   See example1.tex and example2.tex for details.

4. In addition to \title and \author, you need to supply values
   for \runningtitle{...} and \runningauthors{...}.  These value
   are used in page headers and in the copyright notice on the
   title page.

   See example1.tex and example2.tex for details.
