1. Introduction
The purpose of providing these notes is to standardize the format of abstracts submitted
to Geocomputation 2015. These notes are reworked from the author guidelines for the
Geocomputation 2011 and 2013 conferences.
Each section of the paper should be numbered, as shown in this example. The section
heading should be left-aligned with bold type. Times New Roman 12pt font should be
used for the main text, and Arial font for the title and section headings (16pt for the title,
and 14pt for the section headings).
The main text should be full justified, as in this example. The first line of the first
paragraph in each section should not be indented. The rest of the paragraphs should be
indented by 0.5cm, as in this example.
Abstracts should be written in English, using US spelling. Authors are requested to
keep to the limit of 1,500 words. Submissions that fail to follow the specified format and
prescribed length will not be considered for inclusion.
1.1 Sub-sections
Sub-sections should be numbered as shown in this example. Each sub-section heading
should be left-aligned with bold Arial font (size 12pt). The use of sub-sub-sections is
discouraged.
2. Equations, Figures and Tables
Equations should be centred on a page, and numbered consecutively in the right-hand
margin as (1), (2), etc. They should be referred to in the text as, for example, equation 1.
Tables should be in the style shown here, or as close as possible to it, and should be
referenced as table 1, table 2, etc. Figures should be presented at relevant locations in the
text, and not at the end of the paper. They should be referred to as fig. 1, fig. 2, etc. Color
figures are acceptable, because contributions will be published exclusively in electronic
form. However, authors should ensure that figures are of a sufficient quality: 200dpi for
photographic images, and 300dpi for line drawings. Example placements for tables and
figures are as follows:

3. References and Citations
A list of references cited should be provided at the end of the paper. Citations of these
within the text should follow the Harvard system of referencing as follows—several good
papers about this topic are available (Authority 1973, Learned and Expert 1982),
although the work by Fudgit et al. (1997) is an exception.
The reference list should be formatted as in this example, using 10pt font and 1cm
hanging paragraphs for each reference.
4. File format
Abstracts should be submitted as files compatible with Microsoft Word (e.g., Word
document, Rich Text format) or Acrobat (pdf). Files larger than 3MB should be sent as
zipped archives. Abstracts should be submitted through EasyChair (the URL will be
available later). A submission should contain the following contact information for the
corresponding author: name, institution, postal address, telephone number, email address.
5. Deadline
The submission deadline is January 15, 2015. Authors will be notified about whether
their submission has been accepted for paper presentation or poster presentation by
February 15, 2015. Those accepted as poster presentations may be given the opportunity,
at a later date, of presenting in a paper session should some presenters withdraw.
Any questions regarding the submission and publication process should be addressed
to geocomputation2015@utdallas.edu.
6. Acknowledgements
Acknowledgement should be made of any funding bodies who have supported the work
reported in a paper, of those who have given permission for their work to be reproduced,
and/or of individuals whose particular assistance is due recognition.
