Generating CAIA technical reports and slide presentations using LATEX

CAIA has traditionally provided OpenOffice templates to generate Technical Report formatted papers. This approach has limitations, modifying an existing Technical Report for submission to a conference of journal can be time consuming. LATEX on the other hand provides consistent generation of formatted documents direct to PDF output and simple modification to new formats. In this paper we present the installation instructions for the CAIA Technical Report LATEX Class files on a FreeBSD based system and pointers for generating CAIA Technical Reports.
