Abstract Formatting
Two example abstracts are provided. Here is a source in Plain TeX and its
output PDF file. Here is a source in LaTeX and its
output PDF file. Note that the
title is in one line in the former but on two lines in the latter. Both
forms are acceptable.
The abstract must fit on one 8.5" x 11.5" page, with all-around
one-inch margins, and no page number. Abstracts exceeding one page will
be truncated to the first page.
Use 11-point Times Roman for the main text. Avoid use of
nonstandard fonts, as those may cause printing problems. (If using
LaTeX, the command \usepackage{times} loads the Times font family.)
Do not indent the first paragraph of the abstract text. Subsequent
paragraphs should be indented by 18 points (1/4" or 6 mm). Do not leave
space between succesive paragraphs. A paragraph following a displayed
equation should not be indented.
Leave 11-point vertical blank space after title, author name(s),
affiliation table, abstract body, and references. See examples.
The title should be centered, in capital Times Bold letters of
14-point size. It should not extend over more than two lines. Avoid
Greek letters or equations in the title, as this may cause indexing
problems.
The affiliations of all authors should be organized in tabular
form, as illustrated in the examples. One author must be identified as
the corresponding author. This is done by entering the contact
e-mail address under the affiliation. In the examples the first author
has been designated as corresponding author. Single-authored
contributions should supply the e-mail address of the sole author, who
will be considered the corresponding author.
If the abstract contains equations, whether in-lined or displayed,
be sure to download the math fonts to the PDF file.
References and keywords may be set in 10-point Times Roman size.
They should not be indented. For the references please follow the style
of the examples.
At the end of the abstract supply at least one keyword, but not
more than three, for use in indexing the proceedings. Keywords beyond
the third one will be ignored. Note: word groupings, such as
"fluid-structure interaction" will count as three keywords and will be
indexed under the letter f.
Figures are strongly discouraged, as they may cause
printing problems.
