Instructions for Formatting of EXTENDED Abstracts for ICSB 2007

An extended abstract MUST be made with the following specifications:

• Up to 3 pages (maximum). Click here for an example of an extended abstract in PDF form.
  • Up to 500 words (excluding title, authors, and references)
  • Title
  • Authors/Affiliation/Email
  • Up to 2 figures with legends
    • "Figure" is used in a general sense, encompassing both figures and tables. Thus, if you wish to include one or two tables, you may do so.
    • As indicated above, the figures and figure legends do not count towards the 500 word limit.
  • Up to 10 references
    • You do not need to include references if you do not wish to do so or you do not feel they are required for your abstract.
• Single PDF file, US Letter page size (8.5 inches x 11 inches)
• 1 inch margins on top, bottom, left, and right
• Font size: no smaller than 12 point font
• Acceptable fonts: Times, Times New Roman, Computer Modern, Palatino, New Century, Lucida, Helvetica, Arial
• Mathematical symbols may appear in the font of your choice

The extended abstract should be self-contained; there is no mechanism to attach separate files. It must be in PDF format. (If your computer software does not have PDF output capability built-in, you may wish to avail yourself of one of the free online services for converting different document types to PDF.)

Accepted extended abstracts will be published as-is online. We will not perform editing on accepted abstracts.

Please note: the maximum length of EXTENDED abstracts is 500 words; this is different from the maximum length of the SUMMARY (750 characters) which you will be prompted to enter in the online submission system. The summary will be used in the production of a small proceedings volume to be distributed at the conference.
