\section{Introduction}

This guide
provides instructions for preparation of camera ready copies for the
Bulletin of IRSS.

This guide also demonstrates the use of Latex.
If you do not use Latex, then please format your paper 
as closely as possible to this guide.

\section{General Instructions}

Your paper should be
\begin{itemize}
	\item a maximum of eight (8) pages,
	\item in font size 10 point,
	\item in two columns.
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Page Numbering}

The camera ready copy should not have any page numbers.

\subsection{Identification}

Make certain that your name is written lightly in pencil on the back of every page,
and number pages sequentially (i.e., 1/8, 2/8, ...).

\subsection{Text Location and Size}

Ideally, the text height should be 24.5cm, the text width
should be 17cm, and the column separation should be 7mm.
If you are using A4 paper, then this will leave 2cm margins
on the left and right.
If you are using 8.5" $\times$ 11.5" paper, then
please centre the text.

Please conform to these dimensions as closely as possible.


\subsection{Submitting Your Paper}


Please post your paper to:
\begin{verbatim}
      Shusaku Tsumoto
      Department of Information Medicine,
      Tokyo Medical and Dental University
      1-5-45 Yushima, Bunkyo-city
      Tokyo 113 Japan
      E-mail: tsumoto.com@mri.tmd.ac.jp
\end{verbatim}

Electronic submission is encouraged.

\section{Latex Instructions}

The birss.sty file should be in the directory in which you will run Latex.

Begin your file with the command
\begin{verbatim}
	\documentstyle[10pt,birss]{article}
\end{verbatim}
You then need the following commands:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{document}
\title
\author           
\keywords
\abstract         
\maketitle
\end{verbatim}
For example:
\begin{verbatim}
\documentstyle[10pt,birss]{article}
\begin{document}
\title{The Bulletin Latex Camera Ready
       Instructions}
\author{
  {\bf Shusaku Tsumoto} \hfill
       tsumoto.com@mri.tmd.ac.jp
       \\ ...
}
\keywords{Bulletin,
          Camera Ready Instructions}
\abstract{ ... }
\maketitle
\end{verbatim}

\noindent
If your title is longer than a single line then you will have to use
the protect command followed by two slashes. For example:
\begin{verbatim}
\title{The Bulletin Camera Ready
       \protect\\
       Instructions}
\end{verbatim}

\setlength{\epsfxsize}{5.0in}
\begin{figure*}[htb]
  \begin{center}
	\
\leavevmode\hbox{%
 \hbox{\raise120mm\hbox{\special{Windows org}}\kern80mm\special{Windows wmf roughfig.wmf}}% 
 }
%  	\epsfbox{roughfig.eps}
  \end{center}
  \vskip -0.1in
  \caption{Lower and Upper Approximation}
  \label{FigMixture}
\end{figure*}

\subsection{Two Column Mode in Latex}

The two column mode in Latex is tricky.
When in two column mode, \verb+ \newpage + ends the
current column rather than the current page,
\verb+ \clearpage + ends the page.

\begin{verbatim}
\begin{figure} 
\end{verbatim}
 produces a figure which
is a single column wide, while
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{figure*} 
\end{verbatim}
 produces a figure which
is two columns wide.

\begin{verbatim}
\begin{table} 
\end{verbatim}
 produces a table which
is a single column wide, while
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{table*} 
\end{verbatim}
 produces a table which
is two columns wide.


\subsection{Including Postscript Figures}

To include postscript figures you can use the command:
\begin{verbatim}
       	\input epsf
\end{verbatim}
at the top of the document before the documentstyle command.

Sometimes it is difficult to fit a figure into a column.
If you wish to include a postscript figure which is wider than a column,
you can use the figure* command. For example:
\begin{verbatim}
	\begin{figure*}[htb]
\end{verbatim}
Figure~\ref{FigMixture} is an example of a postscript figure
which crosses two columns.
You should be able to use the following sequence to include the
postscript figure in Figure~\ref{FigMixture}.
\begin{verbatim}
\setlength{\epsfxsize}{3.0in}
\begin{figure*}[htb]
  \begin{center}
        \
        \epsfbox{roughfig.eps}
  \end{center}
  \vskip -0.1in
  \caption{A Distribution}
  \label{FigMixture}
\end{figure*}
\end{verbatim}

This file and the birss.sty file are adapted from the instructions
for authors from the ISIS 96 workshop, the isisCR.sty, which is based on
the document style for the `Informatica' journal
developed by Borut Znidar, and the MAIC Communications
style by Xindong Wu.
