The text of the abstract can be preceded by a brief annotation, if necessary.

Please do not exceed 50 words.

This document is the author’s guide for the preparation of abstracts of MITI conference and at the same time it is a typesetting example. The examples, given in this guide, will be enough for the typesetting of the text.

Abstract preparation. For abstracts in English, Russian or Romanian use the following template miti2018.dotx.

The text of the abstract is saved in the file miti2018.rtf, the text volume must be 1 or 2 full pages (pages must be fully filled with text). If necessary, custom images can be added to the project. Information about every author is given after the abstract text, is not limited and will be published at the conference website.

Paragraphs. Structured document is easier to read and understand. Text can be easily structured with paragraphs. New and/or important words can be emphasized with italic font. To start a new paragraph, press Enter.

Lists. Enumerated and itemized lists should be used where possible. Lists, as well as tables, help to structure the information.

Example of enumerated list.

Nesting lists deeper than two or three levels

is not recommended.

Example of itemized list.

Theorems and definitions. To typeset theorems, lemmas, statements, definitions, and corollaries, special environments should be used. Each theorem or lemma can be numbered or not numbered. Optional argument of the environment allows to explicitly state the notion described or theorems and lemmas authors.

Definition 1. Text of the definition.

Definition (notion being defined). Definition without a number.

Statement 1. Text of the statement.

Statement (name of the statement). Text of the statement.

Lemma 1 (on something). Text of the lemma.

Lemma. Lemma without a number.

Theorem 1. Text of the theorem.

Theorem (Ivanov – Petrov, 2010). Theorem without a number.

Corollary 1 (sufficiency). Text of the corollary.

Corollary. Corollary without a number.

Tables. Tables allow to present numeric and textual information compactly and clearly.

Table 2. Example of wide table placed between text paragraphs

Column 1	Column 2	Column 3
While inserting tables, authors can use	Insert tab in the ribbon, click Table	And use commands from the TABLE TOOLS tab

Figures. Diagrams, charts and sensible illustrations facilitate the understanding of the text. It is allowed to use both vector (PDF), and raster images (PNG, JPG, GIF), although the vector images should be preferred.

In the abstract text, image file names are specified without extensions (.pdf, .png etc.).

Vector graphics is preferred over raster, because vector images look good on any scale.

Combining tables and figures. If possible, it is better to place the figures and tables at the side of the text, this saves page space and allows to fit more text. If that can’t be achieved, you can place in one row several figures (fig. 3, 4), figures and tables (fig. 5, table 3), or several tables (tables 4, 5). Both figures and tables can be referenced in the text by adding the label to the header of the image.

Figure 3. First figure	Figure 4. Second figure

Table 3. Table near the figure

X	A	B	C	D	E
Row	1	2	3	4	5

Figure 5. Figure near the table

X	A	B	C	D	E
Row	1	2	3	4	5
Y	F	G	H	I	J
Row 1	6	7	8	9	10
Row 2	11	12	13	14	15
Table 4. First table	Table 5. Second table

Programming code. Programming code fragment example:

@verbatim_environment_is def ined():

for typesett in g: program_code(in.any[’programming’].language)

Miscellaneous. Hyperlinks can be included in the text, e.g. miti.usarb.md. Footnotes can also be used.

Typesetting bibliography citations. Each bibliography entry should have a reference in the text of abstract. An example of putting the reference to the bibliography: [1–3].

References. 1. The bibliography may contain from 1 to 10 entries. 2. APA or IEEE bibliography styles may be used. 3. APA, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APA_style. 4. IEEE, https://www.ieee.org/ documents /ieeecitationref.pdf.

The footnote text is placed at the bottom of the page.
