\maketitle

\section*{Introduction}
The introduction should provide the context of your research. After having
read the introduction, the reader should be able to understand why things
were done.  This can include a discussion of previous work, pointing out 
a gap in present knowledge, or outlining the relevance of the topic.

New paragraphs within a section are started by leaving an empty line
in the .tex file, as usual in LaTeX. This will cause a 3\,pt vertical
space between the paragraphs.

\section*{Methods}
The methods section should clarify how things were done. After having
read the methods section, a reader should be able to do exactly the
same thing, if she desires. Usually,
\begin{displaymath}
  A_{\rm allowed} \ll \sum_{\rm methods} A_{\rm needed},
\end{displaymath}
especially when complex or uncommon methods have been used. In such
cases an author has to select the most important aspects. The methods
section can include a description of the patients, animals, models, or
materials that were used. The methods section is usually written in
past imperfect tense, as it describes what has been done.

\section*{Results}
The results section outlines the results that have been obtained. It
is usually hard to decide what should be mentioned and what should be
omitted, not only because of the cruelty of the organizers who imposed
such a small word limit, but also because of the limited attention
span of the reader, who may have to grasp the content of dozens of
abstracts in a short time. Fortunately, a well-made figure or table
can say more than a thousand words. Like the methods section, a
results section is usually written in past imperfect tense.

\section*{Discussion}
The discussion section should place the results in a wider context and
draw conclusions. It can contrast them with earlier findings and
discuss the consequences they have. The discussion section is not a
place where mere opinions can be communicated. Conclusions that are
drawn must be based, at least in part, on the results that were
obtained with the methods that were described.  A discussion section
typically uses past imperfect tense when the present results are
summarized, past perfect tense when previous results are summarized,
and present tense when arguments are forwarded or conclusions are
drawn.

  [1] Abstracts usually don't cite references but if you really need
      them we recommend\newline
  [2] that you set them in small type like this and name only one author.
