Notes

Do not worry about the typesetting of this material. This will be correctly typesetted by the conference organisation using special purpose macros.

Multiline titles are produced by introducing \\ commands to separate lines.

Author name is typed as in \aut{Adrian F. M. Smith}. Please use First-Name [Initial] Family-Name. If two authors, separate with \&. If more than two authors separate them with commas and the last two with \& as in \aut{Susie Bayarri, James O. Berger \& Jos{\'e} M. Bernardo}.

The author(s) institution is typed as \loc{Institution, Country}. Please use UK and USA (without dots) as standard abbreviations for those countries. If different institutions are involved, list them the order of the authors and separate with \quad as in \loc{Duke University, USA \quad Universidad de Valencia, Spain}.

Example:

\btit
