# ML4CPS 2027 LaTeX Template

This repository provides the official **LaTeX template** for submissions to the **ML4CPS - Machine Learning for Cyber-Physical Systems 2027** conference.

## Contents

- `template.tex` – Example LaTeX file.

- `ml4cps.sty` – Style file containing the conference-specific formatting

- `template.pdf` – Compiled example of the final layout

- `orcid.pdf` – ORCID logo for use in author affiliations

The template follows common conference formatting standards and offers a solid basis for preparing your ML4CPS contribution.

## Usage

1. Make sure a LaTeX distribution is installed, such as **TeX Live** or **MikTeX**.

2. Copy `template.tex`, `ml4cps.sty`, and `orcid.pdf` and  into your working directory.

3. Modify `template.tex` with your specific details:

   - Title, authors, abstract

   - Keywords, main content, figures, tables, references

4. Compile the document using `pdflatex` or any LaTeX editor:

   ```bash

   pdflatex template.tex

   pdflatex template.tex

   ```

   Multiple compilations are necessary to resolve references and bibliography entries.

## Example Output

See `template.pdf` for an example of a properly formatted ML4CPS submission.
