Computational & Technology Resources

This page provides information on the preparation and formatting of short papers for archiving on www.CTResources.info. It includes information concerning the submission of all the components of a submission to a conference in this series.

2. Submission Components

The submissions to these conferences, called (short) papers, consist of the following components:

A copyright form.
A pdf of the short paper which is used for archiving purposes.
A copy of your Word file (alternatively the Latex files zipped into a single file) from which you have prepared your pdf

Please follow the submission procedure for these components on the Civil-Comp Conference website.

3. Copyright Form

Please complete this copyright form and scan (not photograph) at 300dpi. All fields of the copyright form must be completed.

Papers without signed, fully and clearly completed copyright forms will not be archived.

The copyright form is required to ensure that you have not violated the copyrights of others. With short papers we give authors automatic right to re-use the material subject to the condition that they should cite the short paper when they do so.

4. Paper Style

The main features of the paper are as below:

Title Block: Details of format given below.
Abstract: Exactly as described above. (i.e. This summary or abstract (limited to 200 words) should include the main features of the short paper. It should concentrate on what is new in the paper. It should not include any introductory information and should simply state what has been achieved and assume that the reader is reasonably familiar with the subject matter.)
Keywords: Include 6 to 10 keywords starting from the general to more specific words.
1. Introduction: Clearly state the purpose of the work.
2. Methods: Describe your methods of calculation or experimentation.
3. Results: Present your results in a logical sequence in text, tables and illustrations.
4. Conclusions & Contributions: Emphasize new and important aspects of the study and conclusions that are drawn from them.
Acknowledgements: No more than 40 words. (If required. This is an optional section)
References: All references should be cited by using numbers into [.] and they should be numbered by the order they appear in the text.

The "Methods" and "Results" headings are just suggestions you may use more appropriate headings for your subject matter. But the use of "Introduction" and "Conclusions" headings are mandatory.

5. Paper Format and Pdf generation

Please remember that once the conference is over, it is the Archive pdf that will remain as a record of your participation, it should therefore be prepared with care adhering to the points below. Once the pdf has been archived it cannot be changed or subsituted.

The pdf of the paper should be prepared using the Word template provided here:

Important For Word Users: When you prepare your Pdf directly from Word please set the option for: "Optimize for: Standard (publishing online and printing)" (Not the Minimum Size Option)

Alternatively you can prepare your paper using LaTex. Here a zipped file is attached of a sample paper. I this way you can edit out the text etc in the Latex file so that you will have the correct format. Latex users should still read the details below.

General Warning: Please note that it is very important to adhere to the instructions. If you do not follow the guidelines for preparing your paper, the Conference Chairman may not be able to accept your paper.

If your Pdf is not correctly formatted we reserve the right to NOT archive your paper.

Please note that it is very important to adhere to the instructions. If you do not follow the guidelines for preparing your paper, the editor may not be able to accept your paper.

The 75mm block on the first page of your paper should be used for inserting the paper title, authors and affiliations. Please include include the following information:

Please study the title block on the templates provided above.
The text of the title block should be in centered and in bold.
The title should be in Times New Roman in 18pt (or 16pt if there is not enough space.)
The author names and affiliations should be in Times New Roman 16pt and affiliations should be in Times New Roman 14pt (but if the space is not sufficient then the author names and affiliations may be reduced to 12pt).
Paper title, author(s) names and affiliations should be in the following style:
The Role of Football in a Technological University
A.B. Smith¹ and J.-F. Wesson²
¹Centre for Special Studies, Tower University, London, United Kingdom
²Institute of Computer Generated Information, University of Ostend, Belgium
The affiliations should be in English without abbreviations and follow the pattern: department, institute, city, country. If the name of city is already included as part of the name of the institute (e.g. Oxford University), then the city name should be omitted.
Author's first names are abbreviated to initials. The initials are placed before the surnames.
If only one institute is used, then subscript attribution numbers should be omitted. For example:
Generating Music using Machine Learning
J.L. Soul and A.K. Learner
Centre for Artificial Music, Tower University, London, United Kingdom
If there is only one author, then subscript attribution numbers should be omitted. Even if the single author is associated with more than one University, Company, etc. For example:
The Role of Football in a Technological University
A.B. Smith
Centre for Special Studies, Tower University, London, United Kingdom
Institute of Computer Generated Information, University of Ostend, Belgium
The correct formatting of the title block is most imprtant to ensure that your paper is correctly archived. Additional commas and full stops or omitting the word "and" can cause errors in the archiving. Including given names in full rather than initials can cause the paper for archived under the given name and not the correct surname.
Please limit the length of your title to 80 characters long including spaces between words. It should not contain any non-alphanumeric symbols or embedded equations. Your title should be in mixed upper-lower case. Generally all significant words in the title are capitalized. Small words, (e.g. a, an, and, in, the, on, using, with, ...) are all lower case.
Email addresses should not be included in the title block
The title block should include affiliations NOT postal addresses.
Do not use the title to define acronyms.
A sample title block can be seen on the sample paper - link above.

General Guidelines

The following sections will describe the typographic specifications for your paper in detail. However, you will find it much easier to start from the templates provided above. (Trying to edit a paper written on another template rarely works - so please cut and paste your text into the templeate - remembering to delete all of the original template text etc in the process.) Nevertheless we recommend you read through typographic specifications below so that you do not inadvertently override any of the template's features, and so that you fully understand the referencing conventions.

The template uses A4 paper in portrait orientation (297mm*210mm).
The margins are: top=35mm; bottom=36mm; left=right=33mm
On the first page of the paper a 30mm high space or box is to be kept clear of any text because the conference logo (logobox) will be posted on your paper here during the archiving process.
A second box, a 75mm high space (within the margins) is used for the title block. Details of how this should be laid out are given below.
There should be no running headers, no footers or footnotes.
The pages should be numbered as in the template.

Fonts, font sizes and line spacing

The text should be laid out using single line spacing. (in MS Word, please ensure the default paragraph spacing is set to "single" and NOT "exactly #pt".
The text should be prepared in Times New Roman font.
Do not use any Asian fonts. Please pay particular attention to the fonts used for legends in figures and in embedded tables. (These cause problems when the paper is archived.)
The pages of text should be fully (left and right) justified and aligned.
Generally, little additional vertical space should be left between paragraphs. Typically this is 4 points but to ensure that the columns have flushbottoms it may be necessary to add some additional space between paragraphs.
The width and height of the pages of text must exactly correspond to those on the template. Care must be taken to ensure that space is not left at the bottom of any text pages and that the tops and bottoms of all text pages align with the margins. This is referred to as flushbottoms or vertical justification.
In general a space is left after each main section. To ensure that the columns have flushbottoms it may be necessary to add some additional space between paragraphs or above and below section headings.
The body text should be in 12pt size.
The Sections should be numbered in the style 1, 2, 3, and 4.
The Acknowlegement and Reference Sections are not numbered.
All section titles are typeset in the same font as the body text (i.e. Times New Roman).
Sections titles are typeset in 14pt and bold typeface.
Section titles should not have any full stops at the end.
Paragraph indents: Second and subsequent paragraphs of each section should have a 5mm first line indent. The first paragraph of each section should not have any indent.

Length

The length of your paper should be 6 to 10 pages long.

Abstract and Keywords

Your paper should start on the first page, (below the 30mm logoblock and 75mm titleblock), with an abstract.
The abstract should be given the unnumbered title "Abstract" typeset using the same conventions as a section (i.e. 14pt bold) but unnumbered.
Abstracts should be no more than 200 words in length.
The Abstract should be written in pure text i.e. symbols are not permitted.
The Abstract is followed by keywords. At the end of the Abstract text leave one blank line, then start the next line (without indentation) with "Keywords:" typeset in 12pt bold, and the keywords in 12pt regular.
Each Keyword should be followed by a comma.
The Keywords A minimum of six and a maximum of ten keywords should be included. The Keywords should not be capitalized unless they are names of people or places (i.e. proper nouns). The Keywords are generally, therefore, all in lower case.

References

A list of references should be given at the end of the paper.

The list of references must be sorted either in order of citation or alphabetical order.
References should be cited in the text using square brackets in the regular font and size used by the rest of the text. Please do not use superscript. Multiple references within the same citation should be sorted numerically and separated by commas within the square brackets. Example: "... clues to the psychology of Brunus edwardii are to be found extensively in references [2,3]. Blackmore and Young [1] presented a 1970 review of the diseases present in this species. Elsewhere the effect of environmental pollution [5] and rubella [4] on the population of the species is examined..."
The list of references is a numbered list using square brackets and numbers. The list numbers are left alligned (against the left margin). The reference text is "hanging" with an indent at 10mm.
The references should be given in the following style:

[1]
D.K. Blackmore, C.M. Young, "Some Observations on the Diseases of Brunus edwardii (Species nova)", Veterinary Record, 90, 382-385, 1972.
[2]
M. Bond, "A bear called Paddington", Collins, London, United Kingdom, 1958.
[3]
A.A. Milne, "A House at Pooh Corner", Methuen & Co. Ltd., London, United Kingdom, 1928.
[4]
J.T. Paul, "The 1954 Rubella epidemic in Brunus edwardii", in "Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Epidemics in Europe", V. Lancaster, (Editor), Academic Medical Press, London, United Kingdom, 561-568, 1987.
[5]
J.T. Paul, "Environmental Pollution and Brunus edwardii", in "Bear Population Studies", V. Lancaster, (Editor), Edinburgh Zoological Publications, Edinburgh, United Kingdom, Chapter 7, 123-168, 1988.
Please note: author first names are abbreviated to initials; initials precede the author surname; multiple authors are separated by a comma; all elements of the references are separated by a comma; the year of publication should always be the last element in the reference.
DOIs should be quoted when available.

Acknowledgements

Acknowledgements may be included as an unnumbered section preceding the References.

Figures and Tables

Diagrams, photographs, illustrations and code snippets should all be treated as figures, i.e. given figure numbers and captions.
In the text figures should be referred to in the style: "... In Figure 1 a new bear is shown ..."
All figures should be centred.
All captions for figures and tables should appear BELOW their respective figure or table. All captions should be centred. Captions should start: Figure 1: A New Bear
Captions are typeset in the regular text font and using 12pt. Captions should have a full stop at the end.
All figures should be integrated within the text and not placed on pages at the end of the paper. Figures should be placed within the text near to the place where they are first mentioned. They should preferably be located just after their first mention (rather than before).
Tables are treated separately and should also be numbered consecutively in the text and referred to in the style: "... Population studies for bears are given in Table 1 ..."
Tables should have captions.
Tables should be placed within the text near to the place where they are first mentioned. They should preferably be located just after their first mention (rather than before).
Pay particular attention to the size of figures and tables. Not only the contents of your figure or table, but also the border (if any) around the figure or table should fit within the margins. Figures should preferably not have a surrounding border. Tables on the other hand should have one.
Figures and Tables should be read without turning the page through 90 degrees - all figures and tables should be read when the page is viewed in portrait.
Table captions should be placed BELOW the table.

Equations, notation and units

Equations should be numbered consecutively in the text.
Equations should be centred on the page, and have a right aligned equation number enclosed in round brackets. The equation number is typeset using the same convention as the body text (12pt regular).
In the text an equation should be referred to in the style: "... The computation of steak and kidney pie rations for bears is given by Equation (1) ..."
Any mathematical or other notation should be defined in the text when it is first referred to. Lists of notations should NOT be given.
It is desirable that SI units be used. If non-standard units are used (e.g. Imperial Units) appropriate conversion factors should be given.

Language, style and abbreviations

All documents should be in British-English. The document should be as brief as compatible with clarity and intelligibility.
Abbreviations should be spelt out in full on first appearance. First the full term should appear, followed by the abbreviation in round brackets.
Please do not capitalize terms when the abbreviation is first defined unless it contains names of places, people or trademarks. Example: "... we now use the finite element method (FEM) to compute ...". The words finite, element and method are not proper nouns!

If your Pdf is not correctly formatted we reserve the right to NOT archive your paper. Error Codes and Check List Authors frequently miss important style or formatting deatils in their papers which results in the paper being returned to the author for correction. Here is a list of common errors. This error list can be used as a check list for your paper. Error 1:* The copyright form has not been submitted. You can download it from this webpage - Error 2: The copyright form is not complete so invalid. Check all the red boxes have been completed and the form signed and dated. Error 3: The paper has not been prepared using the paper template available on this webpage. Error 4: Please ensure that all text is justified on the right hand side (as well as the left side) - please check the whole paper including the references Error 5: Paper title block layout and size must be in the correct position as per the template/sample Error 6: The title block must be correctly formatted. Error 7: Flush Bottoms: The paper should be formatted so that the text exactly fits the template page - no space must be left at the bottom (or top) of any page (except the last page). This can be accomplished by enlarging or reducing the size of figures, adding or removing a little additional space between paragraphs, moving the position of figures. Error 8: No text after heading rule: There must always be a couple of lines of text after each heading - ie a heading must never be at the bottom of the page without a few lines of text. This can be accomplished by enlarging or reducing the size of figures, adding or removing a little additional space between paragraphs, moving the position of figures. Error 9: The pages of the paper pdf must be numbered. Error 10: References need to be formatted as in the template - full references with DOIs if available - in a numbered list - right justified Error 11: Author Style: Please check this with the style guide for title, author names and affiliations given above. Error 12: Author names: Only family (sur-) names and initials should be given as indicated on the sample Error 14: Key words must be included in the pdf they should be correctly formatted and in the location shown in the paper shown on the sample ie do not capitalise the keywords. For advice see above. Error 15: Table captions: These must be placed underneath the table. Error 16: All pages should be in protrait mode not landscape. This means that you should not have to turn any page to read the paper. Error 17: Please check if your figures are of a good size (but not oversized) when you paper is printed A4 size Error 18: Please do not use Asian fonts as they cause problems with the archiving. Error 19: Keywords are missing and would need to be correctly formatted. Error 20: Keywords are not correctly formatted.
