the principal results and major conclusions. The abstract is often presented separately from the article and stored indatabase, so it must be able to stand alone and be self-contained. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations

1 Introduction
This document describes the preparation of a manuscript using LATEX 2ε and “iis.cls”(the IIS LATEX 2ε preprint classfile). This class file is designed to help authors produce manuscripts in a form suitable for submission to the journalInterdisciplinary Information Sciences published by the Graduate School of Information Sciences, Tohoku University. It
produces preprints immitating the final form of the publication. On acceptance, the TEX source codes will be converted
to the appropriate format for the final production.

2 Submission Guidelines
2.1 Overview
Manuscripts are accepted for publication with the understanding that manuscripts have not been published, in printing, or under review elsewhere. Authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts electronically and in PDF format tothe editorial office:iis@is.tohoku.ac.jp
If the electronic submission is not available, manuscripts may be sent in triplicate by post toEditorial OfficeInterdisciplinary Information Sciences
Graduate School of Information Sciences
Tohoku University
Sendai 980-8579 Japan
Manuscripts in PDF format are used only for the review process. After the manuscript is accepted for publication, wewill ask the authors to submit all source material to the editorial office.
2.2 File preparation(1) Manuscripts should be written in English.
(2) Manuscripts for short communications should be within 4 pages in the final form of the publication of the journal.
(3) Authors are encouraged to use LATEX, MS Word, or other common varieties of word-processors. The style files for
LATEX and MS Word are available on our journal website:
http://www.is.tohoku.ac.jp/publication/IIS.html(4) Most LATEX 2ε packages can be used if they are available in the normal distribution of LATEX 2ε ; however, if it
is essential to use a non-standard package then any extra files needed to process the article must also be sent in.
Authors should be aware that the final version will be printed on a different page size and using different fonts to thepreprint version so that any special effects used should not contain material that is not easily scalable. Alterations
to the source code will be made during the journal production process.

2The author(s)’ name(s) in the header(5) Authors may add their own macros in the preamble to the paper provided they do not overwrite existing definitions.
However, it is recommended not to (re)define authors’ own commands.

2.3 Copyright Agreement
The copyright of every article published in the Interdisciplinary Information Sciences shall be transferred to theGraduate School of Information Sciences, Tohoku University, Japan (GSIS). GSIS shall have the right to publish thearticle in any medium of form, or by any means, now known or later developed. The authors should agree that the paper
will not be republished without the consent of GSIS. The authors reserve the following:(1) all proprietary rights other than copyright such as patent rights;(2) the right to use all or part of the manuscript in personal future works such as books and lectures.
A properly completed Copyright Transfer Form (available on our journal website) must be submitted prior to the publication of an accepted paper.

3 Essential Title Page Information
3.1 Title
Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae as
far as possible. If the title is too long to use as a running head at the top of each page (apart from the first) a short form
can be provided.
3.2 Author names and affiliations
Provide the full information of authors’ names and their affiliations. When the family name may be ambiguous (e.g.,double names), please indicate them clearly. Indicate all affiliations after each author’s name, with the full postal addressof each affiliation including the country name. Also provide, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
3.3 Corresponding author
Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication.
3.4 Abstract
A brief abstract of 200 words or less must be included. An abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research,
the principal results and major conclusions. The abstract is often presented separately from the article and stored indatabase, so it must be able to stand alone and be self-contained. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should
be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
3.5 Keywords
Provide up to five keywords.
3.6 Subject classification codes (optional)
Provide the internationally adopted subject classification code(s) for the study field. For example, Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC), Physics and Astronomy Classification Scheme (PACS), ACM Computing Classification System, JEL (Journal of Economic Literature) codes, and others.

4 Figures and Photographs
Figures (with their captions) can be incorporated into the text at the appropriate position or grouped together at theend of the article, see Fig. 1. Figures and photographs must be of publication quality. Color figures and photographs arealso accepted with no extra charge. After acceptance, authors will need to submit the original source files.
A typical text for a figure is as follows:\begin{figure}[hbt]\centering\includegraphics[width=80mm,keepaspectratio,clip]{fig01.eps}\caption{Set the figure caption.}\label{fig1}\end{figure}

Remark 4.1 (Using copyright material). If the authors wish to use material for which they do not own the copyright, theymust seek permission from the copyright holder, usually both the author and the publisher of the previous work. It is theauthors’ responsibility to obtain copyright permissions and this should be done prior to submitting your paper. If you
have obtained permission, please provide full details of the permission granted—for example, copies of the text of any

e-mails or a copy of any letters you may have received. Figure captions must include an acknowledgment of the original
source of the material.

5 ReferencesBibliographical references should be complete, including article titles and page ranges. All references in the bibliography should be cited in the text. Authors are encouraged to check the style of references in the recent issues, but may
use a common format in major publications of their research fields.
Some typical entries would be:\begin{thebibliography}{99}\bibitem{rf1}\au{Name, X. Y.}\jnl{Title}{Journal title}{Volume}{Start page--End page}{Year}\bibitem{rf2}\au{Name, N. N., and Second, B.},\jnl{Title}{e-Journal title}{Volume (optional)}{identification of articles}{Year}\bibitem{rf3}\au{Name, N. N., Second, B., and Third, C. C.},\book{Title}{Publisher}{Year}\end{bibliography}

The “References” appears as is seen at the end of this document. See also the current issues for the styles.

6 Proofs and Reprints
Galley proofs will be sent to the corresponding author. Excessive alterations are not allowed and will be charged tothe authors if absolutely necessary.
The PDF files are available freely on our journal website (J-STAGE) after publication. Reprints can be purchased; areprint Sample
order form will
1 be sent to the author with galley proofs.

7 Mathematics
Authors can use common TEX commands to generate mathematical expressions. Here are just a few hints for preparation of manuscripts.
Lemma 7.1. A displayed equation with number appears as follows:∫ ∞0xe−α x dx =1,α2

α > 0.

(7.1)

Proof. The proof appears like this. By integration by parts,[ ()]∞)∫ ∞∫ ∞(11xe−α x dx = x − e−α x−− e−α x dx.
αα00x=0(7.2)

Since the first term in the right-hand side of (7.2) is zero, we obtain∫ ∞xe−α x dx =01α∫ ∞e−α x dx =01.
α2This proves (7.1).
Proposition 7.2 (Name [1, Section 12.3]). We often need to list a few equations. Displayed equations with numbers
appear as follows:

α2 +1= γ 2,β2β + γ 2 + sin θ = C + limn→∞

(7.3)
√δn .

(7.4)

Theorem 7.3 (Name [2]). Here is another example:
Λ = 2γ 2 + cos θ +XY sin θX +Y cos θ∞= ∑ δi cos Θi .

(7.5)

i=1

Proof. This is an immediate consequence from Proposition 7.2, see also [6, Chap. 5].
Corollary 7.4. A simple consequence from Theorem 7.3 is stated here.
