\maketitle

\begin{abstracts}
This is where the abstract should be placed. It should consist
of one paragraph and give a concise summary of the material in
the article below.  Replace the title, authors, and addresses
within the curly brackets with your own title, authors, and
institutes.
Preferably, do not use footnotes in the abstract or the
title; the acknowledgements for funding bodies etc. are placed in
a separate section at the end of the text.
\end{abstracts}

\section{Packages}
The use of \LaTeX{} macro packages can change the layout of a document substantially. 
The following macro packages are included in the documentclass \mbox{{\em nic-series.cls}:}\\
{\bf times, amssymb, amstext, amsmath, ifthen, graphicx, expdlist, alltt, overcite}.\\
If you need other macro packages, use them with care and make sure they do not affect the given layout. Please keep in mind that your and dozens of other contributions must be uniformly inserted in the NIC proceedings.

The layout specified by nic-series.cls must not be changed. Characters and symbols that are already defined in \TeX{}
or by additionally loaded packages must not be redefined.

% to ensure the clearness of references of all contributions the name of the author should be attached to the labels
\section{Formatting the Paper}
\label{author_sec:prod}
The paper may be formatted using the instructions given in the
following files:

\begin{description}[\compact\setlabelstyle{\itshape}\setleftmargin{3.25cm}]
\item[nic-series.cls] Class file that provides the higher
level latex commands for the proceedings. Don't change the parameters.

\item[guidelines.tex] Guidelines for producing a manuscript, this \TeX{} file. 

\item[article-example.tex] Sample \TeX{} document. Note that there are two figures ({\em pd1.pdf, systems.pdf}) embedded which you need for formatting this \TeX{} file.

\item[nic.bst]  Bibliography style for  Bib\TeX{}.         

\end{description}
Please use {\em article-example.tex} as a template for your own contribution.
Use \verb|pdflatex| to compile your LaTeX source and to generate
immediately a PDF file.

\section{Header of the Paper}
The title of a contribution should be coded as 
follows: \newline
\verb|\title{<Your contribution title>}|.

All words in headings should be capitalised except for conjunctions, prepositions (e.g. on, of, by, and, or, but, from, with, without,
under) and definite and indefinite articles (the, a, an) unless they
appear at the beginning.

\noindent
Then the name(s) of the author(s) must be given: \newline
\verb|\author{<forename1 surename1>\inst{1} \and | \\
\verb|        <forename2 surename2>\inst{2} \and ...}|.

If there is more than one author, separate them with the
\verb|\and| command. Numbers referring to different addresses
are to be attached to each author with \verb|\inst{<no>}|. Authors have to be specified with publicised first
name.

For the author list appearing in the table of contents use abbreviations for the forenames: \newline
\verb|\authortoc{<forename1_abbr surename1>, | \\
\verb|           <forename2_abbr surename2>, ...}|.

Next the address(es) of the organisation(s) is (are) required.
If there is more than one address, the entries are numbered
automatically with \verb|\and| in the order in which you type them:
\newline
\verb|\institute{<address of institute1> \and | \\
\verb|           <address of institute2> \and ...}|.  

In addition, you may use \verb|\email{<email>}|
to append your email address to your postal address.

The command
\verb|\maketitle|
then formats the complete heading of your article. For example, see the \TeX{} file {\em article-example.tex}.       


\section{Headings, Equations and WWW Addresses}
Please preserve the style of the headings, text fonts and line
spacing to provide a uniform style for the proceedings volume.


Equations are automatically numbered sequentially throughout your contribution, as in 
Eq.~(\ref{author_eq:eq2}). The method for long sets of equations
where only one referencing equation number is wanted 
is given in Eq.~(\ref{author_eq:eq1}).
\begin{equation}
\begin{array}{rcl}
F(\lambda_0 | s_0,\ldots,s_m)
       &=& \int_0^{\lambda_0} {f(\lambda_0|s_0,\ldots,s_m) d \lambda_0} \\[4pt]
&&\\
       &=& \frac{F(\lambda_0,s_0,\ldots,s_m)}{f(s_0,\ldots,s_m)}
\end{array}\label{author_eq:eq1}
\end{equation}
with
\begin{equation}
F(\lambda_0,s_0,\ldots,s_m) = \int_0^{\lambda_0} {f(\lambda_0,s_0,\ldots,s_m) d \lambda_0}
\label{author_eq:eq2}
\end{equation}

In \LaTeX, it is simplest to give the equation a label, as in
Eq.~(\ref{author_eq:eq1}) where we have used 
\verb|\label{author_eq:eq1}| to identify the equation.
You can then use the reference \verb|\ref{author_eq:eq1}|
when citing the equation in the text which will avoid the need
to manually renumber equations due to later changes. 

The same method can be used for referring to sections, subsections, tables, and figures,
i.e.  \verb|\ref{author_sec:prod}| for referencing Sec.~\ref{author_sec:prod}. Please use the following abbreviations for sections, equations, figures, and tables: 
Sec., Eq(s)., Fig(s)., Tab(s). Append the \verb|\ref{...}| command with \homedir \  to avoid a line break.

In order to ensure the clearness of references of all contributions the name of the author should be attached
to the label. Blanks in labels are not allowed.

WWW addresses should appear in true type font. Therefore use the \verb|\url| command, i.e. \verb|\url{http://www.fz-juelich.de/ias/jsc}|. See also Ref.~\citen{author_bib4}.
The symbol ``\homedir'' in the \verb|\url| command should be realised with \verb|\homedir|.

\section{Tables}
We've chosen a more complicated example purely as an 
illustration of what is possible. Tables should appear centred and the caption should be below them.

\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|rrr|}
\hline
  Model             &\hspace{10pt} $\lambda_{0.05}$ & $\lambda_{0.5}$ & $\lambda_{0.95}$\\
\hline
\multicolumn{4}{|c|}{$\alpha=1/16$ , $\beta=1/16$ , Obs. 1}  \\
\hline
   $\alpha,\beta$ known           &  11.06 & 13.01 & 15.17 \\
   $u=3/2$                        &  11.08 & 13.03 & 15.20 \\
   $u=1/2$, $1 < B <10^{400}$     &  11.07 & 13.02 & 15.19 \\
   $u=1/2$, $ B > 10^{500}$       &   1.83 &  1.99 &  2.17 \\
   $p(\lambda) = \lambda^{-1}$    &  11.14 & 13.10 & 15.28 \\
   $p(\lambda) = \lambda^{-1/2}$  &  11.20 & 13.16 & 15.34 \\
\hline
\multicolumn{4}{|c|}{$\alpha=1$ , $\beta=1$ , Obs. 6}  \\
\hline
   $\alpha,\beta$ known           &   0.23 &  0.46 &  0.81 \\
   $u=3/2$                        &   0.23 &  0.46 &  0.82 \\
   $u=1/2$, $10   < B <10^{20}$   &   0.23 &  0.47 &  0.83 \\
   $u=1/2$, $ B > 10^{60}$        &   0.98 &  1.09 &  1.22 \\
   $p(\lambda) = \lambda^{-1}$    &   0.19 &  0.42 &  0.77 \\
   $p(\lambda) = \lambda^{-1/2}$  &   0.22 &  0.46 &  0.82 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\caption{Posterior quantiles of special observations for different Bayes models.}
\label{author_tab:exp}
\end{table}

\section{Figures}
If you wish to embed a figure in PDF, PNG or JPG format in a \TeX{} file, 
use the \verb|\includegraphics| command within the figure
description and change the filename to an appropriate one. 
The width of the figure can be defined by the option \verb|[width=x-size]|.
\LaTeX{} will automatically enlarge or reduce the figure based on the
\verb|x-size| value. The figure should appear centred and the caption should be positioned underneath.
\enlargethispage{2ex}

\begin{figure}[!ht]
\begin{center}
%  [width=...] will enlarge or reduce the figure based on the value for width
%  [width=\textwidth] will use the full textwidth for the figure
\includegraphics[width=8cm]{pd1} % PDF image file name
\caption{Integration of PDF or PNG graphics  \label{author_fig:psgr}}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

\section{Footnotes and the Bibliography}

Footnotes are denoted by a letter superscript
in the text\footnote{Just like this one.} and references
are denoted by a number superscript or in special cases by a number without superscript. Using the macro package \verb|\citesort| is not allowed.

We have used \verb|\bibitem| to produce the bibliography.
Citations in the text use the labels defined in the bibitem declaration,
for example, the first two papers \cite{author_bib1,author_bib2} are cited using the command
\verb|\cite{author_bib1,author_bib2}|. Please also attach the name of the author to the labels to ensure 
the clearness of references of all contributions. In special cases, e.g. see Ref.~\citen{author_bib3}, 
the command \verb|\citen{author_bib3}| can be used. 

\textbf{Please keep the sequence of the relevant 
information as given in this sample manuscript: author(s), title, journal, volume number, page number(s), year.}

If you use a reference database and Bib\TeX{} to include your bibliography
into your document, you should use the bibliography style nic.bst.

Please use the following two commands to insert your bibliography:\\
\verb|   \bibliographystyle{nic}|\\
\verb|   \bibliography{<database1>,<database2>,..}|\\

Note that there is no section number for references. Furthermore, \LaTeX will automatically generate the heading for the reference section.

\section*{Acknowledgements}
This is where one places acknowledgements for funding bodies etc. Please do not forget to acknowledge the granted computing time project and the corresponding supercomputer.
The acknowledgements may be placed in a separate section at the end of the
text, before the Appendices. This should not be numbered, therefore use
\verb|\section*{Acknowledgements}|.


\section*{Appendix}
It's preferable to have no appendices in a brief article, but if more
than one is necessary then simply copy the
\verb|\section*{Appendix}|
heading and type in Appendix A, Appendix B etc. between the brackets. Note that there is no section number for the appendix.
