You must use the department's layout model for this article and in the future for your master's thesis.

You are expected to use this layout on seminar papers also, unless the seminar leader requires a different layout.

We also expect you to use LaTex to write your scientific report.

Layout template in LaTex (and openoffice):

• The department layout model and instructions. You can find the instruction document and other LaTex-templates in this directory (you will need tktltiki.cls, tktl.bst, babelbst.tex, englbst.tex, engl_malli.tex (your main text), lahteet.bib (your references), plus figure files etc).

LaTeX on-line guides

• T.Oetiker et.al.: The not so short Introduction to LATEX2e
• LaTeX from Wikibooks

Bibliography management: Bibtex

As an computer science expert, you need to be able to manage your bibliography using an automated tool. Maintaining the bibliographical references by hand means that you are not yet a good-quality computer scientist. For Latex users this is easy, because bibtex has been designed for this purpose.

Latex process:

1. Write your text with any plain text editor (pico, vi, emacs, etc.) using the latex markup language in the file. [Or use a wyiwyg latex editor]
2. Usually people write a makefile for the LaTeX processing, because you always need to run a sequence of command to produce the final document
   •   First lLaTeX command collect all labels, references and citationmarks from the your source text file
   •   BibTeX picks up the used references (based on the information of the previous run) and creates information for list of references
   •   Second LaTeX puts the citations and other references in place
   •   Third LaTeX run is needed to make sure that the table of content reflects the possible changes of the previous run
   •    And finally you will need to produce the final pdf version with dvi2pdf

(Information for the MSc thesis only , if you choose to write it in word or openoffice:

• Template for theses in OpenOffice (odt) format
• Template for abstract in rtf format
• Bibliography management in Word, Openoffice, Libreoffice: You have multiple alternatives. Look at the current recommendations and information about usage from the University library's support pages.
