\begin{abstract}
A refereed selection of papers of the Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis International Conference (ASMDA2013) will 
be published in a CD Proceedings and in a permanent conference website in Electronic form. In these guidelines we 
describe the format instructions and the submission procedure 
both to be followed seriously.  The text of these guidelines 
is written in the prescribed format and can be used as a specimen. \\
{\bf Please note that if you don't like to submit a paper you only have to submit an Abstract by using the Electronic Submission Form from the Conference web site}.
\keyword{Conference, ASMDA2013, ASMDA Style file}
\end{abstract}


\section{The format of the text}

Please use the style file {\tt ASMDA.cls}. This file takes care of
all the formatting. You can download this style file, together with a
sample file {\tt article-ASMDA2013.tex} at the ASMDA2013 conference
web site:
\begin{center}
{\tt http://www.asmda.eu/}
\end{center}

Please use the {\tt ASMDA.cls} style file and standard fonts. Use
other style files only if it is absolutely necessary in order to
typeset your text.

If you have any problems with our file format please contact:
\begin{center}
{\bf secretariat@asmda.es}\\
Conference Secretariat
\end{center}


\section{Heading, abstract, keywords, and sections}

For the heading, specify the following items: 
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb@\title*@ to specify the title of your manuscript,
\item \verb@\toctitle@ to specify the title to be used in the table 
 of contents,
\item \verb@\titlerunning@ to specify the title in the running head,
\item \verb@\author@ specifies the authors. Authors are separated by
 the \verb@\and@ command. Use the \verb@\inst@ command to define
 reference marks to your affiliations if needed.
\item \verb@\index@ to allow each of the authors to appear in the author index.
\item \verb@\authorrunning@ to specify the author name(s) in the running head.
 If there are more than two authors, please abbreviate the author list
 (e.g., Manca et al.) for the running head.
\item \verb@\institute@ command lets you specify the your affiliation and
 your address. Separate two or more different affiliations by the
 \verb@\and@ command. 
\end{itemize}

An abstract (6--9 lines) is to be included after the heading using the 
commands \verb@\begin{abstract} ...  \end{abstract}@.  Specify keywords using the \verb@\keyword@ command.

\begin{sloppypar}
Please use only the \LaTeX\ sectioning commands \verb@\section@ , {\verb@\subsection@}.  Do not use a deeper hierarchy.  Considering the length of the manuscript, we recommend only using the \verb@\section@  command.  Only capitalize the first word of the (sub)section title. 
\end{sloppypar}

\section{Length of the paper, figures, tables, and equations}

The manuscripts should be no longer than {\bf 8 pages} using the 
{\tt ASMDA.cls} style file.

Each figure or table must have a caption, briefly explaining this
figure or table, e.g., ``Fig. 3. Plot of ...  .'' or ``Table 1. Data
of ...  .'' (arabic numbering).  Use the \verb@\ref@ command when
refering to a figure or a table in the text, for example: ``Dealines
are available in Table~\ref{tab:dead_lines}''.

\begin{table}
  \begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{|rc|l|}
      \hline
      December 20 & 2012 & Abstract submission and special
      session submission\\
      \hline
       Notification to authors: &     & 3 weeks  after submission\\
      \hline
      March 30 & 2013    & Camera ready paper\\
      \hline
     25 - 28 June  & 2013 & ASMDA 2013 Conference\\
      \hline
    \end{tabular}
  \end{center}
  \caption{Deadlines and important dates}
  \label{tab:dead_lines}
\end{table}

\LaTeX\ source for table \ref{tab:dead_lines}:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{table}
  \begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{|rc|l|l|}
      \hline
       December 20 & 2012 & Abstract and 
       special sessions submission\\
      \hline
      Notification to authors: 3 weeks after submission\\
      \hline
      March 30 & 2013 & Camera ready paper\\
      \hline
      25 - 28 June & 2013 & ASMDA 2013 Conference\\
      \hline
    \end{tabular}
  \end{center}
  \label{tab:dead_lines}
  \caption{Deadlines and important dates}
\end{table}
\end{verbatim}

Figures and tables must be included at the appropriate place in the 
text.   Please, provide the 
figures only using the \LaTeX\ picture commands, or in eps 
(Encapsulated PostScript), jpeg or pdf format.  A figure contained in the eps(jpeg or pdf)-file  
\verb@yourfile.eps(jpeg or pdf)@ can be included as follows: 
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{figure}
  \centerline{
    \includegraphics[width=.4\textwidth]
    {images/yourfile.eps, jpeg or pdf}}
  \caption{This is a sample of how to include an  
  eps, jpeg or pdf graphics file in your manuscript.}
  \label{fig:ExampleEPS, JPEG or PDF File}
\end{figure}
\end{verbatim}

The \verb@[width=.8\textwidth]@ option specifies that the graphics has 
to be reduced to 40\%.  The \verb@\includegraphics@ command makes use 
of the graphicx style file, which is a standard \LaTeX\ graphics tool 
for including eps, jpeg or pdf-figure files (See example Figure~\ref{fig:image01}).

\begin{figure}
  \centerline{
    \includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{image01}}
  \caption{This is a sample of how to include a  
  eps, jpeg or pdf image in your manuscript.}
  \label{fig:image01}
\end{figure}

A figure containing only \LaTeX\ picture commands, can be 
specified as (See example Figure~\ref{fig:ExamplePicture})
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{figure}[t]
  \setlength{\unitlength}{4cm}
  \centerline{
    \begin{picture}(1,1)(0,0)
      \linethickness{.5pt}
      \put(0,0){\framebox(1,1){}}
      \put(0.25,0.25){\circle*{.02}}
      \put(0.25,0.75){\circle*{.02}}
      \put(0.75,0.75){\circle*{.02}}
      \put(0.75,0.25){\circle*{.02}}
    \end{picture}}
  \caption{This is an example of a figure that uses only 
  the \LaTeX\ picture commands. It contains four points.}
  \label{fig:ExamplePicture}
\end{figure}
\end{verbatim}

\begin{figure}[t]
  \setlength{\unitlength}{4cm}
  \centerline{
    \begin{picture}(1,1)(0,0)
      \linethickness{.5pt}
      \put(0,0){\framebox(1,1){}}
      \put(0.25,0.25){\circle*{.02}}
      \put(0.25,0.75){\circle*{.02}}
      \put(0.75,0.75){\circle*{.02}}
      \put(0.75,0.25){\circle*{.02}}
    \end{picture}}
  \caption{This is an example of a figure that uses only 
  the \LaTeX\ picture commands. It contains four points.}
  \label{fig:ExamplePicture}
\end{figure}

Two Figures can appear as follows:

\begin{figure}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{cc}
\begin{minipage}{120pt}
\frame{\includegraphics[width=110pt]{image01}}
\caption{Caption Text 1}
\label{fig:3}
\end{minipage}
&
\centering
\begin{minipage}{160pt}
\frame{\includegraphics[width=155pt]{image02}}
\caption{Caption Text 2}
\label{fig:4}
\end{minipage}
\end{tabular}
\end{figure}

Equations should be typed using the \LaTeX\ commands 
\verb@\begin{equation}@ \verb@ ...  \end{equation}@.  For example: 
\begin{equation}
   g({\cal C}) := \sum_{i=1}^m \sum_{k\in C_i} \|x_k - 
   \bar{x}_{C_i}\|^2.
\end{equation}
If you do not want the equation to be numbered, use \verb@displaymath@ 
instead of \verb@equation@. For example: 
\begin{displaymath}
   g({\cal C}) := \sum_{i=1}^m \sum_{k\in C_i} \|x_k - 
   \bar{x}_{C_i}\|^2.
\end{displaymath}


\section{Specifying references}

The reference style is presented below. Please use the \verb@\cite@ command to refer
to other works in your text. For example Saporta\cite{GS1990} for
single author.  Please note that you need to protect the \verb@\cite@
command when used within an \verb@\itemize@ environment.

References will appear as follows (Example: Janssen and Skiadas\cite{JS1995}):

\begin{itemize}
\item \protect Saporta\cite{GS1990} for single author
\item \protect Janssen and Manca\cite{JM2007} in case of two authors
\item \protect D'Amico \textit{et al.}\cite{DJM2005} for more than two authors
\end{itemize}

\section{Submission of papers, deadlines}

Papers in the form of a ZIP file including the sourse and the pdf files\\ will be submitted to ASMDA 2013 Secretariat as an E-mail attachment at: {\tt secretariat@asmda.es}.


For any problem, with the submission procedure, please inform the Conference Secretariat ({\tt secretariat@asmda.eu}).

\section{Camera ready papers, deadlines}

Accepted papers will be published in ASMDA 2013 Conference
Proceedings. Please note that at least one author of the paper must be
registred for publication in the proceedings.

Final submission will consist of:
\begin{itemize}
\item the \LaTeX\ file,
\item a {\tt pdf} version of your paper,
\item possibly {\tt eps, jpeg or pdf} files for figures, and
\item any other file that is necessary to typeset your manuscript in \LaTeX.
\end{itemize}

The deadline for Camera ready papers is {\bf March 30, 2013}.
