INTRODUCTION

This document describes the two types of presentations and their associated abstracts, abstract format instructions, and abstract submission instructions. This document has been created using the required format. It can therefore be used as a template by simply typing over the existing contents of the file.

PRESENTATION TYPES

Two types of presentations are invited for the conference: 1) Normal oral presentations with full written papers; or 2) poster presentations (written paper optional).

1) Oral presentation with full paper: This is the traditional type of presentation that has been used in the past in this conference series. Abstract submission is due by October 20 and includes the on-line submission form together with the 2-page extended abstract. Full papers (8-16 pages) will be due April 1, 2013. Formatting instructions will be sent with acceptance notifications.

2) Poster presentation: In addition to providing an alternate means of content delivery that many presenters prefer, poster presentations are particularly encouraged for works in progress that would not yet warrant a full paper. This mechanism will provide an opportunity for students and investigators who are not yet finished with a project to present their work and potentially get valuable feedback from their colleagues.

The final proceedings of the conference will include full papers, which will be published electronically and available on a USB drive. Selected full papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics (JWEIA).

SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS

Please complete the abstract submission form and upload your two-page abstract by October 20, 2012. Abstracts should be submitted electronically, preferably in PDF or postscript format (.pdf or .ps). The filename should be 12ACWE-firstauthorslastname.pdf. If you are submitting more than one abstract on which you are the first author, a numeral should be added to the end of the filename (e.g., if for example author Mr. Vega submits two first author abstracts, the filenames would be 12ACWE-Vega1.pdf and 12ACWE-Vega2.pdf).

The preferred submission method is with the File Upload link provided on the on-line submission form. For each abstract, click the File Upload button on the form and navigate to the file you will upload to our server. A confirmation page should appear immediately after a successful submission. If the confirmation page does not appear please try again.

ABSTRACT CONTENTS AND LENGTH

Submissions for oral presentation/full paper require an extended abstract. This extended abstract should be a maximum of two pages in length (including tables and figures), and summarize the goals and objectives, methods used, and findings of the research or case study. Submissions for poster presentations and for oral presentations-professional track require a one page abstract.

TYPEFACE AND PAGE MARGINS

Prepare your extended abstract using Times New Roman or a similar serif typeface. Requested type size is 10 or 11 point for abstract text and 14 point for the abstract title. Page margins should be either 1 inch or 25mm on all page sides for 8 ½ x 11” page size. For A4 page size, use a bottom margin of 43mm.

TABLES AND FIGURES

All tables and figures should be numbered. Table titles should be placed above the table. Figure titles should be placed below the figure. Tables and figures may use different fonts and sizes as appropriate (except that table and figure titles should be formatted as specified in previous section).

The final proceedings will be distributed electronically and can incorporate color.

REFERENCES

References should be prepared using the Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics referencing format. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice-versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full.

Web references should include the full URL and the date when the reference was last accessed. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.

References from a special issue should add the words 'this issue' to any references in the list and any citations in the text to other articles in the same Special Issue.

All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. All citations in the text should refer to: 1. Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication; 2. Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication; 3. Three or more authors: first author's name followed by 'et al.' and the year of publication. Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). Groups of references should be listed first alphabetically, then chronologically. Examples: "as demonstrated (Allan, 1996a, 1996b, 1999; Allan and Jones, 1995). Kramer et al. (2000) have recently shown ...." List: References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication.
