Publishing your paper as an AIB

1. Starting with 2001, all AIB will usually be published electronically. If necessary, every author can produce copies of his electronic paper.
2. Write your paper following the AIB style guidelines (Example PostScript-file). For LaTeX users, we provide the class aib which simplifies the production of AIB. You will also need Springer's llncs.cls. An example for using aib.cls can be found here.
3. Include the list of available reports. There are two options:
   • full version (>15 pages): LaTeX, PostScript
   • short version (3-4 pages): LaTeX, PostScript
4. Consult your supervisor for checking the final version of your report.
5. Consult me to obtain your AIB number.
6. Include the AIB number in your document to obtain your final PostScript file.
7. Write an BibTeX-entry for your technical report. An example can be found here. Please include keywords.
8. Send your PostScript file, the abstract and your BibTeX-file to me.
9. If possible, please send a PDF-version as well. For best results, use PostScript fonts instead of generating bitmap fonts. You should set type1_default=true in texmf/dvips/config/updmap and/or have the following options in your ~/.dvipsrc:

   p +psfonts.cmz
   p +psfonts.amz
   	

If your report is conforming to the style guidelines, it will now be integrated into these web pages. Furthermore, the report will be announced via the AIB mailing list and in the newsgroup comp.doc.techreports.

Further remarks

• Promotionsordnung des FB1, in case you want to publish your dissertation at RWTH Aachen electronically
• "dvi2aib" is a simple script which might be employed for printing your report as a booklet.
• There seems to be a problem with some TeX distributions (e.g. MikTeX 3.9) when producing the files aachen_blue.eps, aachen.eps, rwth_blue.eps, and rwth.eps from aib.cls.
