\section{Style Definition} \label{sec:Word-Paragraph-Styles}
Please do not change any settings that might result in your paper not
conforming to the format set in this template.
\subsection{Paragraph Styles}
Most of the paper will use normal paragraphs. There are only two levels of
heading - section and subsection. The other types of text you may need are
bulleted items, numbered lists and definition lists.
% Use itemize for unordered lists
\begin{itemize}
\item An item.
\item Another item.
\end{itemize}
% Use enumerate for ordered lists
\begin{enumerate}
\item The first item.
\item The second item.
\end{enumerate}
% Use description for definitions
\begin{description}
\item [PPIG] \hfill \\
Psychology of Programming Interest Group.
\end{description}
\subsection{References}
The references section at the end of this template shows examples of the
referencing style that should be used. The references themselves should
preferably follow the format of the APA (American Psychological Association)
style guide, although we won't be too strict about the details. Citations
should be in APA format: in cases where authors' names such as \citeA{Lin92} or
\citeA{CoffGraham-72:optim-sched-two} are included in the sentence, the year
should be in parentheses after mention of the author's name; otherwise the
citation gives name(s) and year in parentheses, e.g. \cite{RyanFoster81}.
\subsection{Figures and Tables}
More complicated formatting (Tables and Figures) should fit within the
boundaries of the text and should be centred on the page. Use your own
judgement to create suitable tables.
\begin{table}
\begin{center}
\caption{A simple table, with caption.}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline
Column A & Column M \\ \hline
Row 1A & Row 1B \\ \hline
Row 2A & Row 2B \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\label{tbl:sample-table}
\end{center}
\end{table}
Figures can be a problem. Try to include them in the pdf file if possible, but
we are happy for you to email them to us if you have trouble (please use JPEG,
PNG or Postscript as appropriate).
Figures and tables should have captions.
\begin{figure}
\centering
\epsfig{file=sample-figure.eps, scale=0.34}
\caption{A sample figure, with caption}
\label{fig:sample-figure}
\end{figure}
\section{Submission Procedure}
