=== Note on LaTeX2e Class File ===

The class file mmr2015.cls is equivalent to mmr2013.cls, which was used for [[http://www.sastat.org.za/mmr2013/|MMR 2013]].  This class file has its origin at latex8.sty, a style file for IEEE CS Conference, and has been adopted to LaTeX2e and maintained by people around [[http://www.aparmnet.org/|APARM]].  We appreciate their efforts and generosity.
