\section{\uppercase{Introduction}}
\label{sec:introduction}
Your paper will be part of the conference proceedings
therefore we ask that authors follow the guidelines explained in
this example in order to achieve the highest quality possible
\cite{Smith98}.
Be advised that papers in a technically unsuitable form will be
returned for retyping. After returned the manuscript must be
appropriately modified.
\section{\uppercase{Manuscript Preparation}}
We strongly encourage authors to use this document for the
preparation of the camera-ready. Please follow the instructions
closely in order to make the volume look as uniform as possible
\cite{Moore99}.
Please remember that all the papers must be in English and without
orthographic errors.
Do not add any text to the headers (do not set running heads) and
footers, not even page numbers, because text will be added
electronically.
For a best viewing experience the used font must be Times New
Roman, except on special occasions, such as program code
\ref{subsubsec:program_code}.
\subsection{Manuscript Setup}
The template is composed by a set of 7 files, in the
following 2 groups:\\
\noindent {\bf Group 1.} To format your paper you will need to copy
into your working directory, but NOT edit, the following 4 files:
\begin{verbatim}
- apalike.bst
- apalike.sty
- article.cls
- scitepress.sty
\end{verbatim}
\noindent {\bf Group 2.} Additionally, you may wish to copy and edit
the following 3 example files:
\begin{verbatim}
- example.bib
- example.tex
- scitepress.eps
\end{verbatim}
\subsection{Page Setup}
The paper size must be set to A4 (210x297 mm). The document
margins must be the following:
\begin{itemize}
\item Top: 3,3 cm;
\item Bottom: 4,2 cm;
\item Left: 2,6 cm;

\end{itemize}
It is advisable to keep all the given values because any text or
material outside the aforementioned margins will not be printed.

\subsubsection{Title and Subtitle}
Use the command \textit{$\backslash$title} and follow the given structure in "example.tex". The title and subtitle must be with initial letters
capitalized (titlecased). The separation between the title and subtitle is done by adding a colon ":" just before the subtitle beginning. In the title or subtitle, words like "is", "or", "then", etc. should not be capitalized unless they are the first word of the title or subtitle. No formulas or special characters of any form or language are allowed in the title or subtitle.

Use the command \textit{$\backslash$abstract} and follow the given structure in "example.tex".
Each paper must have an abstract up to 200 words. The sentence
must end with a period.
\subsection{Second Section}
Files "example.tex" and "example.bib" show how to create a paper
with a corresponding list of references.
This section must be in two columns.
Each column must be 7,5-centimeter wide with a column spacing
of 0,8-centimeter.
The section text must be set to 10-point.
Section, subsection and sub-subsection first paragraph should not
have the first line indent.

paragraph first word.

\hline
Example text 1 & Example text 2 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\begin{table}[h]
\vspace{-0.2cm}
