The objective of this abstract is to tell you how to prepare your One-Page Abstract for the
Sixth M.I.T. Conference on Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics, June 15 - 17,
2011.
The Conference promises to be a very valuable scientific event and we are very glad that
you will still submit an Abstract. This option of submitting an Abstract is made available
because many interested researchers and practitioners of computational mechanics did
not have the time to prepare a paper. We would like to make it still possible for those
people to come and present at the Conference.
Please note that your Abstract will be included in a soft-cover Compilation of Abstracts
which will be furnished to the participants of the Conference. You will be given the
same amount of time—half an hour—for the presentation of your work as those speakers
who prepare a Paper (the official due date for these papers is May 31, 2010). Please
follow strictly the requirements given here for preparing your Abstract. If you submit an
Abstract, you commit yourself to come to the Conference and present your work.
The length of the Abstract, including all writing, must fit on no more than one single 8 ½
by 11 inch page. The Abstract must carry the title, your name and affiliation, the main
body of text, and any necessary references. No figures or tables are allowed. Please
prepare your Abstract in the way this writing was prepared. All Abstracts must of course
be written in the English language. Please use reasonably good English [1]. All text
should be in the Times New Roman font, size 12 points and single-spaced. The title
should be in bold lower case and the top, bottom, and side margins should be 1 inch each.
Please prepare an electronic version in PostScript (.ps) or Acrobat Reader (.pdf) format
and email it to kjb@mit.edu at the latest on February 15, 2011, with the subject heading
M.I.T. Conference.
Thank you and good luck. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you at
M.I.T. While you are in this area, we hope that you will also have time to visit the many
wonderful places in and around Boston [2].
