\section*{ABSTRACT}
This is the abstract of my paper.  It contains 100-200 words and is
treated as a major section of the paper.  The section heading is
in 12 point Times Roman bold capital letters and is preceeded and followed
by one blank line.  Following the abstract is a list of keywords that is
formated as follows.  The asterick following the section command allows
you to have unnumbered sections.
\hspace{0in} \vspace{-.2in} 
\begin{flushleft}
{\bf Keywords}: Keyword1, Keyword2, ... Keyword6
\end{flushleft}

\section{INTRODUCTION}
Here is my introduction text.  There is a blank line before the section 
heading and one afterwards.  Heading text is 12-point bold capital
letters.  Paragraphs are indented and there is a blank
line following each paragraph.  
You may or may not number the sections and subsections.

\subsection{Previous Work}
In subsections there is 1 blank line before the section heading and one 
afterwards.  Heading text is 12 point bold font with the first letter of
each word capitalized.  

Throughout I may cite references of the form \cite{key:foo} or
\cite{foo:baz}, and LaTeX will keep track of numbering.  The numbers are based
on the order you place them in the bibliography, not the order they appear in
the text.  They will appear in alphabetical order.  LaTex will put
square brackets about the number within the text of your paper.  For those of 
you new to the bibliography package, you may have to run the latex process 
twice to allow all references to be resolved.  You will get a warning about
a missing .aux file.  Just rerun latex and it will be ok.

\section{SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS}
This template will get you through the minimum article, i.e. no figures or
equations.  To include those, please refer to your LaTeX manual and the 
publications guidelines.  Good Luck!

\section*{ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS}
This is how to do an unnumbered section, which comes out in 12 point bold
font.  Note that the acknowlegements section is optional.
