In scientific writing the layout of the paper is one very important issue. The layout should be such that the paper can be published without having to do too much work to make it look reasonably good. It also gives a better impression of the paper and the author as well if the layout is simple and practical. Therefore we will be very strict with the layout of the papers on this course. The paper must be written using the given LaTeX template from the beginning.
The students must produce all the submitted papers (Draft, Full Paper and Final Paper) in the LaTeX and the PDF-format using Optima (see course requirements instructions for details).

Remember to rename your own file to |

Writing the paper in LaTeX will actually be quite easy when using the given template.
The PDF format can be produced from the latex template (almost) automatically. This template is tested to be working at least in vipunen.hut.fi.

The result when running these commands on the current template looks like this: template.pdf.
The style file will render the in-text references and the bibliography automatically. The way the references are denoted might be slightly different from the notation proposed in the guides. You should not try to fix it, as long as the bibliography contains all information needed about the source. However, if the titles of the articles contains acronyms, you can mark them to be capital letters e.g. {TCP} (but do not mark first letters of words this way!).
When the articles are put together to form one book, macros will may mess things up. If you absolutely need to use macros, name them in a way that will be unique in all papers processed in this course, for instance by prefixing all macro names with your student number.
Give all your files names that are unique as given in the course requirements instructions.
