ABSTRACT
The abstract is a short, informative summary of no more than 200 to 300 words. References should not be cited. The abstract should not simply list the topics covered in the paper, but should (1) state the scope and principal objectives of the research, (2) describe the methods used, (3) summarise the results, and (4) state the principal conclusions. The abstract will be the most widely read portion of the paper. The text of the abstract should be 11pt Times New Roman font, single-spaced and left-right justified. A single line space should be left below the title ‘ABSTRACT’. Simply highlight this text and replace with the words of your abstract. Leave a single line space above the keywords listed below.
KEYWORDS:Up to 5 key words in 11pt Times New Roman font, separated by commas; these will assist in the cross-indexing of the paper. Leave two line spaces before the Introduction below.
1. INTRODUCTION
The IGNSS Society are committed to producing conference proceedings of high quality in both content and appearance. To achieve this goal, authors are asked to provide high quality work and submit their paper using this template. All papers will be peer reviewed and, if necessary, authors will be provided with the opportunity to make improvements. Therefore, it is important that you adhere to the strict submission deadline. All authors are required to adhere to the rules outlined in this template. Basically, your final paper should look like this document. The best way to do this is to edit this template and insert the contents of your paper.
The purpose of the Introduction is to tell readers why they should want to read what follows. This section should provide sufficient background information to allow readers to understand and evaluate the paper’s results. The introduction should (1) present the nature and scope of the problem, (2) review the pertinent literature (within reason), (3) describe the method of investigation, and (4) describe the principal results of the investigation. All text in the main body of the paper should be 12pt Times New Roman font, single-spaced and left-right justified. All headings should be numbered. Leave two line spaces between sections, and one line space between paragraphs. To enter your text, simply highlight the paragraphs here and replace with your words.
2. STRUCTURE OF YOUR PAPER
2.1 General
There is flexibility as to the naming of the section (or sections) providing information on your methods and results. The methodology employed in the work must be described in sufficient detail or with sufficient references so that a competent person could replicate the results.
Before beginning to write, organise your material carefully to ensure that your paper will be properly structured. Include all the data necessary to support your conclusions, but exclude redundant or unnecessary data and descriptions.
Use a straightforward writing style, simple sentence structure and common vocabulary. Choose the passive voice (i.e., do not use "we" or "I").
Explain all technical terms, acronyms and specific terms, remembering that the readers may not have sufficient knowledge to understand the full meaning of contextual sentences. Avoid specific local references, inside comments, ambiguous terms and irony.
Note that the proceedings are to be distributed in PDF format on CD-ROM. This means that you may include web links in your paper.
Your submission must be no longer than 15 pages in length. Please ensure that your paper is submitted on time.
Paragraphs should be separated by a single line break and not indented.
2.2 Document Format and Styles
Documents should be submitted in portrait A4 format using 2.5 cm for Top, Bottom, Left and Right margins.
Conference identification: Consists of the conference logo followed by the identifying the conference as indicated on the first page of this template.
Title: Arial, 18 point, Bold, centred, followed by 2 blank lines
Name(s): Arial, 12 point, bold, italics, centred.
Affiliations: Arial, 10 point, centred. One line space separating authors, 2 lines after the last.
Abstract: Times New Roman, 11 point, left-right justified, 2 cm from both left and right margins.
Keywords: Times New Roman, 11 point, left-right justified, 2 cm from both left and right margins. The word "KEYWORD" is Arial, bold and capitalised.
Paragraphs: Times New Roman, 12 point, left-right justified, single-spaced. Each paragraph is followed by a single line break and not indented.
Section headings: Arial, 12 point, left justified, fully capitalised, bold.
Subsection headings: Arial, 11 point, bold. The first letter of each word capitalised.
Sub-subsection headings: Arial, 11 point, italic. Only the first letter of first word capitalised.
2.3 Referencing
Where a reference appears as part of a sentence, it should show the authors’ names, followed by the year of publication in parentheses. This example refers to the work of Hendrick and Hearn (1999). Where the full reference is parenthesised it should appear as follows (Hendrick and Hearn, 1999). When reference is made in the text to work by three or more authors, only the first author’s surname should be used, followed by et al. (in italics).
A complete list of references cited must appear at the end of the main body of the text (11pt Times New Roman font). All authors must be listed. To be of real value, authors should attempt to only reference material that is readily accessible to the reader. References should be listed alphabetically by first author’s surname. Do not abbreviate journal titles. The preferred format is based on that used in the Journal of Geodesy. Several examples are given later.
2.4 Figures and Tables
The results of experiments can be presented as tables or figures. Selective presentation of results is important. Redundancy should be avoided. Figures and tables must be inserted in an appropriate place and centred.
Figures may be black & white or full colour. They should be no wider than the width of the text column. Tables can be created within Word.
Figure and tables should be numbered according to the order they are referenced in the paper. Figures and tables should be referred to by their number in the text. When referring to figures and tables in the text, spell out and capitalise the word Figure or Table.
Figure and table captions should be explicit enough that the reader can understand its significance without undue reference to the text. Details appearing in figure and table captions should not be restated in the text. The inclusion of detailed parameters in figure and table captions can improve the smooth flow of the main text.
Figure and table captions should be centred and placed directly beneath the relevant figure or table. The caption should be typed in 11pt Times New Roman font (Figure 1 and Table 1).

3. CONCLUSIONS
This section should include (1) the principles, relationships, and generalisations inferred from the results, (2) any exceptions to, or problems with, these principles, relationships and generalisations, (3) agreements or disagreements with previously published work, (4) theoretical and practical implications of the work, and (5) conclusions drawn.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
These are optional. They should acknowledge any significant contributions made by people or organisations to the work presented (e.g., supply of data or funding).
