INTRODUCTION
This Style Guide details the document formatting standards for an extended abstract, one of the two options required of authors presenting papers at A&WMA’s Specialty Conferences. Your extended abstract should look exactly like this Style Guide in terms of layout, margins, spacing, font, and section headings. Following these guidelines will ensure that printed extended abstracts have a uniform and standardized appearance and that they will be reproduced accurately on the conference proceedings. You must clearly indicate that your submittal is an extended abstract by including the line, “Extended Abstract #” and your abstract number. Otherwise your submittal may be reviewed using the standards for a full paper and be rejected.
An extended abstract is not simply a long abstract. An extended abstract should contain references, comparisons to related work, proofs of key theorems, and other details found in an extended paper. Writing a good extended abstract can be more demanding than writing a research paper. The extended abstract should clearly specify the problem(s) that the research is addressing, the expected contributions(s) of the work, a brief description of the methodology adopted, results obtained, and the conclusions resulting from the work. Some things that can be omitted from an extended abstract include future work, details of proofs or implementations that should seem plausible to reviewers, and ramifications not relevant to the key ideas of the abstract. This Style Guide provides a working example of a properly formatted extended abstract, while also instructing authors how to prepare their extended abstract for inclusion in the conference
proceedings.
