\begin{abstract}
          This document   is  an
          example  of  how we would like you  to  hand  in  your
          contribution  to  the  proceedings of GMIC'99 Session
          in St.Petersburg "Early Universe:Cosmological Problems and
          Instrumental Technologies"
          More information on
          the formatting decisions to be taken is given below. Short
          abstract is placed here.

\section {Introduction}

This example document or template has a set of uniform definitions that will
allow us to produce similar looking output using the LaTeX system. We hope
you will find it useful.
 

\section {How to submit your document}

Please send your contribution (including all relevant files) to
{\it conf99@brown.nord.nw.ru}. The deadline for receipt is
October 1, 1999. Before we proceed, a few important comments:

\begin{itemize}
\item
     You can submit the paper by sending us an e-mail with the document as
     an attachment.
\item
     The final paper version will be in black and white. So please ensure
     that your contribution prints well in black and white. In particular,
     b/w output of colour figures may make the distinction between different
     symbols or lines difficult, if not impossible would look like.
\item
     We have reserved the following number of pages:

     \begin{tabbing}
     Type of contribution \quad\= Number of pages \\
      Review talks  \>     max. 14      \\
      oral talks    \>     max. 10      \\
      posters       \>     max. 6       \\
     \end{tabbing}

\end{itemize}
\subsection{Page and font size}

The final camera-ready copy will be printed on A4 paper. The lay-out of the
page has therefore been optimized for this format.
Please use the font size of 12pt.

\subsection {Page layout}

As you can see, we have opted for a single column layout. The final book
will measure 17.0 by 24.0 cm and will be reduced from A4 (scale
approximately 85%). Page numbers will be inserted by us at a later stage, so
you needn't worry about them. Don't refer to a particular page numbers in
your document. Please ensure that your contribution is suitably structured.
Place figures close to the point in the text where they are first mentioned.

\section{Elements of your document}

\subsection{Figures and Tables; Numbering}

Figures should be of sufficient resolution, to be able to be printed (see
information about reduction above). Especially photographs can often be a
problem, if along the way they have been stored in a format that offers up
resolution in favour colour (e.g. JPEG). Please try and ensure a resolution
of 300 dots per inch (d.p.i.), for good quality reproduction of photographs.

Graphs and line drawings (preferably in a vector format such as
PostScript (PS) or Encapsulated
Postscript (EPS)) can be included in any format.
Other format figures will be transformed to PostScript by the
Linux program {\it convert}.
An environment {\it psfig} is used for the figures description.

  Tables should be formatted with an environment {\it table}.
Here is an example of table:

\begin{table}
\caption{...Table title...}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lll}\hline
description 1 & description 2 & description 3\\
\hline
A 1 & A 2 & A 3\\
B 1 & B 2 & B 3\\
C 1 & C 2 & C 3\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

Please note that we will not be able to scan in tables and figures or
include them in hardcopy form. In order to be included, figures and tables
must be placed in your document.

\subsection{Equations}

The {\it math} environment should be used for equations.
Here are simple examples of this case:
$$
        e^{\pi i} + 1 = 0
$$

or numerated formulae:

\begin{equation}
        E = m c^2
\end{equation}

\subsection{Footnotes}

A footnotes can appear at the bottom of the page on which it they are
introduced\footnote{Hello, I am a footnote}.

\subsection{References}

References are described in the {\it thebiblography} environment.
See an example below.
