%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\title[Short Paper Title] % (optional, use only with long paper titles)
{Title As It Is In the Proceedings}

\subtitle
{Include Only If Paper Has a Subtitle}

\author[Author, Another] % (optional, use only with lots of authors)
{F.~Author\inst{1} \and S.~Another\inst{2}}
% - Give the names in the same order as the appear in the paper.
% - Use the \inst{?} command only if the authors have different
%   affiliation.

%\institute[Universities of Somewhere and Elsewhere] % (optional, but mostly needed)
%{
%  \inst{1}%
%  Department of Computer Science\\
%  University of Somewhere
%  \and
%  \inst{2}%
%  Department of Theoretical Philosophy\\
%  University of Elsewhere}

\institute{
	Industrial and Management Sciences Engineering\\
	~\\
	\includegraphics[height=1cm,keepaspectratio]{usf-eng-horizontal.jpg}}
  
% - Use the \inst command only if there are several affiliations.
% - Keep it simple, no one is interested in your street address.

\date[CFP 2003] % (optional, should be abbreviation of conference name)
{Conference on Fabulous Presentations, 2003}
% - Either use conference name or its abbreviation.
% - Not really informative to the audience, more for people (including
%   yourself) who are reading the slides online

\subject{Theoretical Computer Science}
% This is only inserted into the PDF information catalog. Can be left
% out. 



% If you have a file called "university-logo-filename.xxx", where xxx
% is a graphic format that can be processed by latex or pdflatex,
% resp., then you can add a logo as follows:

% \pgfdeclareimage[height=0.5cm]{university-logo}{university-logo-filename}
% \logo{\pgfuseimage{university-logo}}



% Delete this, if you do not want the table of contents to pop up at
% the beginning of each subsection:
\AtBeginSubsection[]
{
  \begin{frame}<beamer>{Outline}
    \tableofcontents[currentsection,currentsubsection]
  \end{frame}
}


% If you wish to uncover everything in a step-wise fashion, uncomment
% the following command: 

%\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->}


\begin{document}

\frame[plain]{
  \titlepage
}

\begin{frame}{Outline}
  \tableofcontents
  % You might wish to add the option [pausesections]
\end{frame}


% Structuring a talk is a difficult task and the following structure
% may not be suitable. Here are some rules that apply for this
% solution: 

% - Exactly two or three sections (other than the summary).
% - At *most* three subsections per section.
% - Talk about 30s to 2min per frame. So there should be between about
%   15 and 30 frames, all told.

% - A conference audience is likely to know very little of what you
%   are going to talk about. So *simplify*!
% - In a 20min talk, getting the main ideas across is hard
%   enough. Leave out details, even if it means being less precise than
%   you think necessary.
% - If you omit details that are vital to the proof/implementation,
%   just say so once. Everybody will be happy with that.

\section{Motivation}

\subsection{The Basic Problem That We Studied}

\begin{frame}{Make Titles Informative. Use Uppercase Letters.}
  % - A title should summarize the slide in an understandable fashion
  %   for anyone how does not follow everything on the slide itself.

  \begin{itemize}
  \item
    Use \texttt{itemize} a lot.
  \item
    Use very short sentences or short phrases.
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Make Titles Informative.}

  You can create overlays\dots
  \begin{itemize}
  \item using the \texttt{pause} command:
    \begin{itemize}
    \item
      First item.
      \pause
    \item    
      Second item.
    \end{itemize}
  \item
    using overlay specifications:
    \begin{itemize}
    \item<3->
      First item.
    \item<4->
      Second item.
    \end{itemize}
  \item
    using the general \texttt{uncover} command:
    \begin{itemize}
      \uncover<5->{\item
        First item.}
      \uncover<6->{\item
        Second item.}
    \end{itemize}
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}


\subsection{Previous Work}

\begin{frame}{Make Titles Informative.}
Previous research includes:
	\begin{itemize}	
	\item<1-> Research area 1
	\item<2-> Research area 2
	\item<3-> Research area 3
	\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Make Titles Informative.}
This research builds on work in the areas of:
	\begin{itemize}	
	\item<1-> Research area 1
	\item<2-> Research area 2
	\item<3-> Research area 3
	\end{itemize}
\end{frame}



\section{Our Results/Contribution}

\subsection{Main Results}

\begin{frame}{Make Titles Informative.}
Main results 1.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Make Titles Informative.}
Main results 2.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Make Titles Informative.}
Main results 3.
\end{frame}


\subsection{Basic Ideas for Proofs/Implementation}

\begin{frame}{Make Titles Informative.}
\begin{theorem}
Theorem 1. Let $$\bar{x} = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{N} x_i$$
\end{theorem}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Make Titles Informative.}
\begin{example}
This is an example of something happening.
\end{example}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Make Titles Informative.}
Last proof idea/implementation.
\end{frame}



\section*{Summary}

\begin{frame}{Summary}

  % Keep the summary *very short*.
  \begin{itemize}
  \item
    The \alert{first main message} of your talk in one or two lines.
  \item
    The \alert{second main message} of your talk in one or two lines.
  \item
    Perhaps a \alert{third message}, but not more than that.
  \end{itemize}
  
  % The following outlook is optional.
  \vskip0pt plus.5fill
  \begin{itemize}
  \item
    Outlook
    \begin{itemize}
    \item
      Something you haven't solved.
    \item
      Something else you haven't solved.
    \end{itemize}
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}



% All of the following is optional and typically not needed.
