This document presents and uses the template you will have to follow for abstract submissions. Please modify this template with your own text to preserve the formatting, allowing a consistent format across the abstracts. Papers should only be provided in MS-Word (.doc or .docx formats). Abstracts should be in English and are limited to a maximum of two pages in this format (including references). The body of your text should be formatted in Times with a font size of 10 and use a justified alignment. Do not divide your text in sections. The line spacing should be exactly 12 points. Pages should not be numbered as numbers will be added later when proceedings will be created. Your abstract can include a few references. References cited in the text should be done in this format (Doe, 2009) for one author, (Doe and Smith, 2005) for two authors and (Smith et al., 2009) for more authors, with “et al.” in italics. If you have to list several references at once, use a semicolon to separate them and order them by date such as (Doe and Smith, 2005; Doe, 2009, 2010). All references cited in the text should have a complete reference in the reference section (see details on next page). Other formatting guidelines:  Do not use footnotes.  Avoid using formatting such as bold, italics or underline to emphasis text.  Units should use the international system (SI), such as meters, kilograms, etc. Your abstract can include one figure or one table (not more). Note that paper versions of the proceedings may only be printed in black and white so make sure the figure prints well in greyscale. The figure should be inserted into your text in a sufficient resolution (300 to 600 dpi) and size, be centered and have a caption centered below it. The figure should be referenced in the text (e.g., Figure 1). The caption should be in Times 9.

Figure 1. This is the caption describing the figure above, which is a map of Valletta, Malta, where the workshop will be held.

If you rather include a table, the table should follow the same guidelines as figures, but the caption should be placed above the table (Table 1). The design of the table should follow the example below (using horizontal lines but not vertical ones).

Table 1. This is the caption describing the table below. Variable Factor Significance a1 12.76 0.01 b3 -68.95 0.05 w7 128.34 0.12

Examples of formatted references are provided below in a reference section for different types of publications (i.e., journal article, book, book chapter, thesis). References should be in Times 9. Do not include publications that are only in preparation or under review.
