%---------------------------- Abstract -------------------------------

\begin{abstract}
This document defines the style guidelines and submission process
for papers to be presented at the ``$17^{th}$ International
Workshop on Nonlinear Dynamics of Electronic Systems 2009''
(NDES2009) held in Rapperswil, Switzerland, June 21-24, 2009.
It is written in the described style and may be considered as a reference.
\end{abstract}

%---------------------- General Instructions -------------------------

\section{Manuscript Submission}
\label{sec1} Authors are kindly invited to submit a manuscript of
the (draft) paper before {\bf{February 1, 2009}}. The maximum paper
length is {\bf{4 pages for both a regular oral and a poster
presentation}}.

Invited keynote presentations are provided with up to {\bf{6
pages}} space in the workshop proceedings.

Papers can only be submitted via the E-mail: submission@ndes-conference.org.
Please use {\bf{PDF}} files. More information about how to submit a
manuscript can be found at the workshop website.
{\tt http://stoop.ini.uzh.ch/}

After review by an international committee of reviewers, authors
of accepted papers are requested to prepare a camera-ready
manuscript for the NDES proceedings. The review committee can
request (slight) changes of, or additions to the manuscript. All
{\bf{final camera-ready papers}} must be submitted
to the conference organization {\bf{not later than April 1, 2009}}.

{\bf{Papers will only appear in the proceedings, if at least one
of the authors has pre-registered for the workshop before the
early-registration deadline: April 1, 2009.}}

% Please do not send papers by e-mail or regular mail! Submissions
% not corresponding to the above formats will not be accepted.

%----------------------------- Layout --------------------------------

\section{Layout Specification}

This section describes the layout defined for the NDES
proceedings. {\bf Please strictly follow these specifications. Papers
not complying with it (esp.~in layout geometry and typesetting) will
not be included in the proceedings!!}

%\subsection{Colors}
%
%The proceedings will be printed in black and white. No color text or
%color graphics are allowed. Figures may appear in grayscale.

\subsection{Geometry}

The document must be created using the A4 paper size (210mm $\times$ 297mm). The margins are
\begin{itemize}
  \item 20mm left and right,
    \item 30mm on top and bottom of the pages.
\end{itemize}
Please set the document in two columns with 5mm column separation.

\subsection{Typesetting}

For the paper the Times New Roman font in 11pt size with single
spacing should be used.

\subsection{Title}

The title of the paper appears on the first page, centered over
both columns and is set in 14pt bold capital letters.

\subsection{Author Name(s) and Affiliation(s)}

The author names appear below the title in 12pt size, italic. They are
also centered over both columns. The affiliations should be given
below the author names and should contain necessary information for
contacting the authors (i.e.~postal address, email, etc.). Please
typeset the affiliations in 12pt normal style.

\subsection{Headings}

Section headings should appear in 11pt, caps letters. Please
center the section headings with respect to the columns. Sections
are numbered with roman numbers.

Subsection headings are set in italic, 11 pt., but not in caps
letters. They are aligned on the left of a column.


\subsection{Figures, Tables, etc.}

Figures should be numbered in the order of appearance in the
paper. Please give each figure a caption in 10pt size, centered
under the figure.

Since the dimension of the pages will be appreciably reduced in the
final version of the proceedings (about 30\%), please set the dimension
of the figures as large as the width of a column.  You may include
figures stretching over both columns at the top of a page.

Other objects with variable position (e.g.~tables) are treated in the
same way as figures.

\subsection{Equations}

Equations are centered with respect to the columns. If necessary, they
may possess a reference number on the right, e.g.
\begin{equation}
  A=(B+C)^D
\end{equation}

%----------------------- Document Structure --------------------------

\section{Content Requirements}

\subsection{Abstract}

The paper should start with an abstract giving a short overview on
the discussed matter and the presented results. With respect to
the layout the abstract is written in italic, 11pt, and it is not
considered as a separate section.

\subsection{References}

Please list and number all references in the order of appearance at
the end of your document. Use square brackets for the reference list
and the citations, e.g.~\cite{example}.

Please treat the references as a separate section, do not number
and use 10pt for the reference entries (for an example see the
references section of this document).
