Summary. This document provides information and instructions for preparing an abstract
for the ICCS 15 Conference. It can be written in Latex or Word.
1
INTRODUCTION
The Conference publication will consist of a printed book containing abstracts of the
contributions received. At this stage, Authors should submit the abstract electronically via
email to ferreira@fe.up.pt before February 28, 2009. The abstract should be written following
the format of the Latex and Word macros for submission that can be found in that address.
The file has to be translated into Portable Document Format (PDF) before submission via
email to ferreira@fe.up.pt .
2 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Abstract must be written in English within a printing box of 16cm x 21cm, centered in
the page. The abstract must have a maximum length of 2 pages.

TITLE, AUTHORS, AFFILIATION, KEY WORDS
The first page must contain the Title, Author(s), Affiliation(s), Key words and the
Summary. The Introduction must begin immediately below, following the format of this
template.
First A. Author, Second B. Author and Third C. Coauthor.

The title should be written centered, in 14pt, boldface Times, all capital letters. It should be
single spaced if the title is more than one line long.
3.2 Author
The author's name should include first name, middle initial and surname. It should be
written centered, in 12pt boldface Times, 12pt below the title.
3.3 Affiliation
Author's affiliation should be written centered, in 11pt Times, 12pt below the list of
authors. A 12pt space should separate two different affiliations.
3.4 Key words
Please, write no more than six keywords. They should be written left aligned, in 12pt
Times, and the line must begin with the words Keywords: boldfaced. A 12pt space should
separate the key words from the affiliations.
3.5 Summary
Use 12pt Italic Times for the summary. The word Summary must be set in boldface, not
italicized, at the beginning of the first line. The text should be justified and separated 12pt
from the key words, as shown in the first page of these instructions.
4
TEXT
The normal text should be written single-spaced, justified, using 12pt Times in one
column. The first line of each paragraph must be indented 0.5cm. There is not inter-paragraph
spacing.
5
FIGURES
All figures should be numbered consecutively and captioned. The caption title should be
written centered, in 10pt Times, with upper and lower case letters.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING A PAPER FOR THE EUROPEAN
CONGRESS ON COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN APPLIED
SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING
†
The proceedings will be edited in a CD-ROM, including the texts and figures, using
Portable Document Format (PDF). The editors will be in charge of translating the paper from
TEX, Latex or MS-Word to PDF.
For this purpose, a 3.5'' DOS formatted diskette must be sent, containing either:
a) the TEX or Latex files, the DVI file, the TEX macros used and the figures in
Encapsulated Postscript format, or
b) the MS-Word file with all figures and non-standard fonts embedded.
In both cases, please send us a Hard Copy printout.
All this information may seem redundant, but given the time constraint this is probably the
best way to avoid possible errors.
It is good practice to send a second diskette containing exactly the same information. The
diskettes should be clearly labeled with the title, the corresponding author of the paper and the
type of processor used. Also include a plain text (ASCII) README.TXT file with a
description of all the files in the diskette.
All the paper files must be contained in one diskette. If needed, the following file
compressors may be used: pkzip (DOS), compress or gzip (UNIX).
Please send all this information by airmail to the Spanish Congress Secretariat, do not
use e-mail or other electronic communication for this purpose.
