SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS

 

LANGUAGE

We use only English for communications, presentations, abstracts, full papers and all the other relevant matters on the Symposium. For presenters, please speak slowly and clearly as more than 50% of the participants were non-native English speakers in the past.

 

All presenters MUST submit an abstract by June 15, 2008. Abstracts submitted after this date will not be accepted due to the strict time constraint for producing the Symposium Program and the Abstract Proceedings. The Guidelines for submission of the abstract are stated below. An Abstract Proceedings will be prepared and one copy will be provided for each participant at the registration desk in the Symposium. If you are interested in obtaining the Abstract Proceedings from the last three Symposia, please refer to the web site at http:// www.esl.co.jp/Sympo/index.htm.

 

Each abstract will be printed on a sheet of standard A4 paper. The abstract should not exceed 350 words. In the abstract, please include objectives, methods (including the GIS software name if applicable) and results. One color GIS Map or Figure can be also submitted (optional).
