\section{Introduction}

The 4th International Conference on Scientific Computing in Electrical
Engineering SCEE2002 will be organised from 23 to 28 June, 2002, in
Eindhoven, The Netherlands. This conference, which has been organised
twice before as a German conference and in 2000 as an international
conference, will again aim at an international audience. To stress this
fact, the conference will this year be organised in The Netherlands.
We aim to reach both mathematicians and electrical engineers,
both from industry and from the academic world.

To stress the importance of new computational methods for the industry,
a special Industry Day will be organised, in which people from industry
are asked to present to give their opinion on what research is needed in
the near future.

This is an example abstract for the SCEE-2002 Conference.
Of course, you are free to modify this
basic outline at will.
Please send an extended abstract of two pages, in PostScript or PDF format. Please present results in your abstract, possibly with relevant figures
and/or tables.

\section{Equations}
The Maxwell equations are given below.
\begin{subequations}
 \begin{align}
   \rot \mathbf{E} &= - \frac{\partial \mathbf{B}}{\partial t},  \label{eq:maxwell1} \\
   \rot \mathbf{H} &= \mathbf{J} + \frac{\partial \mathbf{D}}{\partial t},  \label{eq:maxwell2} \\
   \div \mathbf{D} &= \rho, \label{eq:maxwell3} \\
   \div \mathbf{B} &= 0. \label{eq:maxwell4}
 \end{align}
\end{subequations}
Note that we can refer to individual equations, such as \eqref{eq:maxwell3}
or \eqref{eq:maxwell4}. It is also possible to include tables.

        $\mathbf{H}$ & magnetic field & $\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{m}}$ (Ampere per meter) \\[2mm] \hline
        $\mathbf{D}$ & electric flux & $\frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{m}^2}$ (Coulomb per square meter) \\[2mm] \hline
        $\mathbf{B}$ & magnetic flux & $\mathrm{T}$ (Tesla) \\[2mm] \hline
        $\mathbf{J}$ & electric current & $\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{m}^2}$ (Ampere per square meter) \\[2mm] \hline
        $\rho$ & electric charge & $\frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{m}^3}$ (Coulomb per cubic meter) \\[2mm] \hline
    \end{tabular}

\section{Topics}
The SCEE2002 conference will address the following topics:
\begin{itemize}
  \item   Computational electro-magnetics
  \item   Computational electrodynamics
  \item   Circuit simulation
  \item   Coupled problems
\end{itemize}


\section{More on figures}
It is possible to include PostScript figures in an abstract.
\begin{center}
  \epsfig{width=6cm,file=circuit6.eps}
\end{center}
Another example:
\begin{center}
  \epsfig{width=6cm,file=residual1e-1.eps}
\end{center}

\section{Conclusions}
We hope it is clear how to create an abstract.
With the example abstract provided, it is possible to create an abstract
that includes text, equations and figures.
