Keywords: extended abstract; format requirement; Geographic Information System (GIS); GeoInformatics 2022;

Objective: This document aims to provide a format template for authors to prepare extended abstracts for the 2022 GeoInformatics Conference to take place in Beijing, CHINA during August 15-18, 2022.

Background: To facilitate the publication process of the conference, the submissions to the conference need to be in a formal and consistent format. This document is adopted from the one successfully used in previous conferences to achieve the goal.

Data: This template largely follows the IEEE conference proceedings format [1].

Methodology: This template provides authors with most of the formatting specifications needed for preparing electronic versions of their papers. All standard paper components have been specified for three reasons: (1) ease of use when formatting individual papers, (2) automatic compliance to electronic requirements to facilitate the production of electronic products, and (3) conformity of style throughout the conference publication. Margins, column widths, line spacing, and type styles are built-in; examples of the type styles are provided throughout this document. Some components, such as multi-leveled equations, graphics, and tables are not prescribed, although the various table text styles are provided. The formatter will need to create these components, incorporating the applicable criteria that follow [1].

Result and Discussion: The length of an extended abstract should be within 800–1000 words in English (references not included). Tables and figures are allowed in an extended abstract, but please limit the use of them.

We suggest that you use a text box to insert a graphic (which is ideally a 300 dpi TIFF or EPS file, with all fonts embedded) because, in an MSWord document, this method is somewhat more stable than directly inserting a picture. To have non-visible rules on your frame, use the MSWord “Format” pull-down menu, select Text Box > Colors and Lines to choose No Fill and No Line. Example of a figure caption. (figure caption)

Figure Labels: Use 8 point Times New Roman for Figure labels. Use words rather than symbols or abbreviations when writing Figure axis labels to avoid confusing the reader.

Please follow the style of this document to cite references in the text and list references at the end of the paper [1-8].

Conclusion and Future Work: Please strictly follow the format defined and illustrated by this template when preparing your extended abstract. Please submit your extended abstract as a Word document. Please do not submit PDF or file formats.
