UMM CSci Senior seminar templates

LaTeX templates for University of Minnesota, Morris, Computer Science senior seminar proceedings and presentations.

There are three main components here:

• Annotated_bibliography has annotated_bibliography.tex and annotated_bibliography.bib, which provide an example of using LaTeX and BibTeX to generate an annotated bibliography.
• Sample_paper has sample_paper.tex along with a figure and a BibTeX file provide an example of using LaTeX and BibTeX to generate a basic paper.
• Sample_talk has Sample_talk.tex along with a number of photographs and PDF figures provide an example of using LaTeX and the Beamer package to generate a set of slides.

Both the annotated bibliography and the sample paper use sig-alternate.cls, which is our modified version of the ACM sig-alternate document class. The primary changes we've made to the ACM document class and examples are:

• Replaced the copyright notice with a Creative Commons license.
• Removed the ACM document fees.
• Removed the terms and categories, which seem to really just be confusing relic of a pre-search-engine era.
• Simplified the examples somewhat, removing features such as multiple authors that we're not likely to use.
• "Forced" the paper size to US Letter (8.5 by 11 inches). This is useful because tools like TexMaker default to A4, and this overrides that.

Since the annotated bibliography example and the sample paper both use sig-alternate.cls, we have a link to it in the annotated bibliography folder instead of a second copy. This will hopefully make it easier to ensure that we don't end up with two different versions out there with slightly different behaviors.
