\typeout{Conference Style for ALIFE XII}

% Place this in a file called alifexii.sty in the TeX search path.
% (Placing it in the same directory as the paper should also work.)
% Contact Harold Fellermann, harold@ifk.sdu.dk, with any questions.

% Prepared by Peter F. Patel-Schneider, liberally using the ideas of
% other style hackers, including Barbara Beeton.

% This style is NOT guaranteed to work.  It is provided in the hope
% that it will make the preparation of papers easier.
%
% The preparation of this file was supported by Schlumberger Palo Alto
% Research, AT\&T Bell Laboratories, AAAI, and Morgan Kaufmann
% Publishers.

% These instructions can be modified and used in other conferences as
% long as credit to the authors and supporting agencies is retained,
% this notice is not changed, and further modification or reuse is not

% Papers are to be prepared as follows:

%       \documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
%       \usepackage{natbib,alifexi}   %% The order is important
%       \title{Title}
%       \author {Author 1$^{1}$ , Author 2$^{2}$ ... \and Author n$^{n}$\\
%       \mbox{} \\
%       $^1$ Address line \\
%       $^2$ Address line \\
%       ...
%       $^n$ Address line \\
%       corresponding@author.email}
%
%       \begin{document}
%       \maketitle
%       ...%
%       \footnotesize
%       \bibliography{[your bib file]}
%       \bibliographystyle{apalike}
%       \end{document}


% For several authors from the same institution use the same number to
% refer to one address.
%
% If the names do not fit well on one line use
%         Author 1, Author 2 ... \\ {\Large\bf Author n} ...\\ ...
%
% If the title and author information do not fit in the area allocated,
% place \setlength\titlebox{<new height>} after the \documentstyle line
% where <new height> is 2.25in


% If your system does not generate letter format documents by default,
% one way to generate letter format pdf from letter format dvi is the
% following:

% dvips -o example.ps -t letterSize example.dvi 
% ps2pdf example.ps example.pdf

% There may be other ways to achieve this.

% The style file loads the "graphicx" package, and this may lead 
% users of pdflatex to experience problems.  These can be fixed by
% editing the alifexi.sty file to specify:
% \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
%   instead of 
% \usepackage{graphicx}.
% The PDF output generated by pdflatex should match the required 
% specifications and obviously the dvips and ps2pdf steps become
% unnecessary.

% NOTE:  Some laser printers have a serious problem printing TeX output.
% The use of ps type I fonts should avoid this problem.




% get packages first that we will need:

\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{graphicx}
% \usepackage{mathptm}   \\ This package is obsolete.
\DeclareSymbolFont{largesymbols}{OMX}{cmex}{m}{n}
