\maketitle

This is a sample latex template for abstracts submitted to the 1996
Student Workshop on Computing Technology.  The workshop will be
sponsored by the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science to promote an
interchange of ideas among the various research activities at MIT
related to scalable computing. This year's student workshop will be
entirely organized by students. Students --- undergraduate, graduate,
and postdoctoral --- are encouraged to submit short, 2-page abstracts
of recent technical accomplishments. Abstracts will be
bound in a volume to be distributed at the workshop and which will
later be available as an LCS technical report.  About 18 of the
submitted abstracts will be selected for presentation.

Please follow these instructions carefully. Submit a single-sided
original (for reproduction) and 15 double-sided and 3-hole punched
copies (for committee evaluation) of a 2-page abstract that briefly
describes the technical contributions of the work. The first page
{\em must} begin with a title, the author's name, and MIT and email
addresses.  Joint submissions by students are acceptable, but the
student making the presentation should be listed as first author.
Faculty coauthorship is not allowed, although student-written
abstracts based on joint work with faculty members are permitted. The
abstract should describe the essential ideas in the research and have
a short bibliography that includes any published papers or technical
memoranda on which the abstract is based. Every abstract should have
at least one figure, table, diagram, or photograph. A footnote on the
bottom of the first page should identify the student's faculty
supervisor and acknowledge research support.

Figure~\ref{fig:single-column} is an example of a figure which is one
column in width.  Figure~\ref{fig:double-column} is an example of a
figure which is two columns in width.  These are cites for a
book~\cite{book}, a conference paper~\cite{conf}, a journal
paper~\cite{journal}, a technical report~\cite{techreport}, a
thesis~\cite{thesis}, and an unpublished
manuscript~\cite{unpublished}.
