\section{Introduction}
Abstracts for the Benelux Meeting on Systems and Control have
to be prepared and submitted as a PDF or \LaTeX\ file using
Times-\-Roman as main font. Other formats are not accepted. 
PDF files are preferred.
This document meets the desired lay-\-out specifications and has 
been written as an illustration and sample file for the desired format.

\section{The format}
Each submission consists of a \emph{one page} abstract of the presentation.
Abstracts must be in English. Abstracts should be prepared in double column 
format on A4 paper using Times-\-Roman 10pt typeface. 
Separation between the columns is 10mm. Columns have a width of 84mm.
The empty space at the top of the page is 33mm, and at the bottom
at least 27mm, to provide room for header and footer.
Each abstract should provide a title, centered at the top of the text.
Each authors' name and affiliation, including postal and email address 
of the corresponding author, goes below the title, also centered. 
Single line spacing should be used throughout, initial lines of paragraphs 
should not be indented, paragraphs should be separated with a blank line. 

Abstracts may contain various sections and/or subsections. Section headings 
should be centered and typeset in bold font. When citing,
a list of references \emph{must} be included at the end of the abstract.

\section{\LaTeX\ class file}
\label{class}
By using the \LaTeX\ class file {\tt blux2009.cls} the author 
can easily format the abstract according to the instructions. 
The class file can be downloaded from the web site of the Benelux Meeting. 
You use this file as follows.
\begin{verbatim}
\documentclass{blux2009}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage[scaled=0.92]{helvet}
\usepackage{courier}
\title{Here is the title}
\author{Name of first author\\ 
   Affiliation of first author\\
   Email of first author 
   \and
   Name of second author\\
   Affiliation of second author\\
   Email of second author}

\section{Abstract}
   Here's the abstract.

\begin{thebibliography}{99}
\bibitem{ref} My favorite book 
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}
\end{verbatim}
We encourage authors to avoid using other packages, class files,
or newcommands in the preamble of the document.

\section{Abstract submission}
For PDF submissions, all non-standard fonts ({\it e.g.}, for math)
must be embedded in the file and the page size must be 
595.276 $\times$ 841.89 pts (A4).
Check your PDF file at
{\tt www.paperplaza.net/scripts/pdftest.pl}.
For \LaTeX\ we prefer to receive a plain ASCII file with the format 
as given in Section~\ref{class}. 
In all cases, the on-\-line Submission Form has to be completed
to upload the file.
Keep your file smaller than 500 kB, larger files are not accepted.

\section{\LaTeX\ details}
See the standard manuals~\cite{lamport} and~\cite{companion}
for details on \LaTeX\ instructions. We remark that when figures 
are included from separate files, a \LaTeX\ submission is not acceptable. 
You should use PDF or embed all figures in a single \LaTeX\ file.
