\section{\uppercase{Stage of the research}}
\label{sec:objectives}
\noindent Your Extended Abstract will be part of the Doctoral Consortium
digital book, therefore we ask that authors follow the
guidelines explained in this example in order to achieve an
uniform compilation of received contributions.
Be advised that Extended Abstracts in a technically unsuitable
form will be returned for retyping. After returned the manuscript
must be appropriately modified.
\section{\uppercase{Outline of objectives}}
\noindent The use of this document in mandatory 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 contributions 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 4.3.7.
\section{\uppercase{Research Problem}}
\noindent For Doctoral Consortium papers authors are required to have at least the following main sections: (\textbf{STAGE OF THE RESEARCH, OUTLINE OF OBJECTIVES, RESEARCH PROBLEM, STATE OF THE ART, METHODOLOGY, EXPECTED OUTCOME}).
All other sections can be added if needed as well as subsections and subsubsections. References are not mandatory.
\vfill
\section{\uppercase{State of the Art}}
\noindent The paper size must be set to A4 (210x297 mm). The document
margins must be the following:
\begin{itemize}

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{First Section}
This section must be in one column and is comprised of the
