Abstract: This document is a guideline to producing a camera-ready manuscript to be submittedin English to the Journal of JIMA. The source ﬁle, sample-ejima.tex, and the style ﬁle, ejima.cls,
should be used for document style based on the Japanese LATEX 2ε system. We suggest that you
read this document carefully before you begin preparing your paper. Authors may use the sample,
sample-ejima.tex, as a base for their own manuscript. This space is where your abstract would belocated.

Key words: LATEX 2ε , style ﬁle, camera-ready manuscripts

1 INTRODUCTION

3 HEADING

This document introduces how to write your paper using our template ﬁles, and provides some useful information to the authors of papers.
• We prepared the Japanese LATEX 2ε styleﬁle. Now, we are improving ﬁle, so please
use the latest version which is publised at:
http://www.jimanet.jp/.
• Your paper should be submitted as a pdf ﬁle inB5-size format. LATEX 2ε original ﬁles are notneeded the ﬁrst time.
• You must embed all fonts and specify “B5” size
explicitly when you make the pdf ﬁle using Acrobat Distiller to avoid any trouble with interoperability.
• If you include ﬁgures, the resolution should be
as high as possible.

On the ﬁrst page, the top of both columns is reserved for the title, author(s) name, abstract andkeywords, as shown above.
• Title: 16pt Times Roman font
• Author’s Name: 10pt Times Roman font. Family name should be written in capital letters andsmaller font. You can use \sc.
• Aﬃliation: Use \thanks. The authors’ aﬃliationis shown in the footer. If an author has the same
aﬃliation of another author labeled \thanks, add
a number to the \footnum{}. For example, inthis sample ﬁle, we stipulated \footnum{1} forthe aﬃliation of Manabu Keiei.
• Abstract: Less than 300 words• Key words: More than one key word

2 PAGE LAYOUT• Paper size: B5 format (182 × 257 mm)• Paper length: the standard is six pages in length,

including ﬁgures, tables and references.
• Paper formatting: Refer to this sample document. Double-column, single-spaced, 9pt Times
Roman font.

4.3 Figures and Tables
Figures should be inserted at the appropriate
place in your text. You can use the graphicx package for a ﬂoating ﬁgure. Figures may extend over
the two columns, up to 16.5 cm if necessary. An
example EPS ﬁgure is shown in Fig. 1. You may
have any available ﬁgure format, e.g., PDF, JPG.
Tables should also be inserted at the appropriate
point in your text, and they may also extend over
the two columns up to 16.5 cm if necessary. Notethat the horizontal rule at the top and bottom of
the tables is the thick rule given by \Hline. An
example of a table is shown in Table 1.
Position ﬁgures and tables near the ﬁrst referenceof the ﬁgure or table in the text. Please avoid longcaptions in ﬁgures and tables.
4.4 Mathematical Formulas
For in-line formulas, use \( \) or $ $. Avoid
built-up constructions; for example, fractions andmatrices in in-line formulas. Fractions in in-line
formulas can be typed with a solidus, e.g. z = x/y.
For numbered display formulas, use “equation”
or “eqnarray.” Equation (1) is produced using “eqnarray.”sample_figure.eps

Please write Eq. (1) in the sentence. However, it
is recommended that you do not number an equation if it will not be cited in your paper.
4.5 Footnotes
Footnotes appear as superscripts.1
4.6 Citations
References should appear in the text as numbersin brackets, such as 〔1〕 or 〔1〕，〔2〕 and be listed
at the end of the article according to the sequence
they appear in the text. Reference labels should
be unique. For multiple citations, you can use\cite{ref1,ref2} instead of \cite{ref1} ,\cite{ref2}.
4.7 Balance of Last Page
In order to balance the columns on the last page,a command, \balance, must be given somewhere
within the ﬁrst column of the last page. Again,
please put \balance in the ﬁrst column of yourlast page. For example, with this sample ﬁle, we
put it at the end of 〔3〕 in the references.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Acknowledgments are placed in a separate section at the end of the paper, before the References.
You can use an unnumbered section.
