ABSTRACT
This document is saved as a template so you must use the Style and Formatting Task Pane to
change your text to the appropriate format. The Task Pane should appear in the styles toolbar
where you will see all the styles designed specifically for 11ACWE. If you do not know how to
set up your text using templates, please email Rolando Vega at RoVega@absconsulting.com and
he will be happy to arrange a phone meeting to tell you how to do it. Do NOT change the page
margins, headers or footers - it will be used by the editorial board to input the conference event
and venue. Notice that no empty spaces are left between paragraphs; instead use an indent of
0.5 inches starting from the second paragraph of each section. All other spacing requirements
are taken care with the template formatting. Do NOT change spacing given by the template.
Any questions should be sent to the email given above.

INTRODUCTION
There will be three types of presentations at the conference: 1) Normal oral presentations with
full written papers; 2) poster presentations (no required paper but abstracts no exceeding 500
words will be included in the proceedings); and 3) oral presentations-professional track (with an
optional written paper and a required abstract that does not exceed 500 words). Full papers are
expected to have between 8-12 pages but cannot exceed 16 pages. Specific template Styles and
Formatting has been created for Titles, Authors, Body abstract, Heading 1, Heading 2, and
Heading 3, Figure caption, Table caption, bullet items, and references. Please use these
formatting tools to facilitate editorial processing later. Only use those styles that have an
11ACWE in front of the name. If you don’t see the Styles and Formatting feature go to
Format>Styles and Formatting in Word 2003 or Press Alt+Crtl+Shift+S in Word 2007.

                 Oral presentation with full paper: This is the traditional type of presentation that
                  has been used in the past in this conference series. Written papers will be due
                  April 30, 2009. Presentations cannot exceed 15 minutes.

                 Poster presentation: In addition to providing an alternate means of content
                  delivery that some participants may wish to use, poster presentations are
                  particularly encouraged for works in progress that wouldn’t yet warrant a full
                  paper. This mechanism will provide an opportunity for students and investigators
                  who are not yet finished a project to present their work and potentially get
                  valuable feedback from their colleagues.

                 Oral presentation-professional track: This type of presentation is intended
                  primarily for engineers, architects and other interested practitioners for
                  presentation of case studies of challenging wind design issues, unique wind-
                  resistant design solutions, wind-related forensic investigations, and other wind
               problems and solutions. The purpose of the professional track is to actively
               engage a broader audience than the traditional research community. This track
               will help make the conference more attractive to professionals interested in wind
               engineering issues, and thus foster more interaction between the research and
               professional communities.

         The final proceedings of the conference will be published in CD-ROM and will include
the full papers and abstracts for posters and professional track presentations.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Papers should be submitted electronically in Word format (.doc) with the filename specified in
the notification of acceptance email. The filename should be 11ACWE-
firstauthorslastname.doc. If a person submits more than one paper on which he or she is first
author, a numeral should be added to the end of the filename (e.g., if for example author Mr.
Vega submits two first author papers, the filenames would be 11ACWE-Vega1.doc and
11ACWE-Vega2.doc). If your paper will have a different title than the one submitted for the
abstract the author must send a SEPARATE email to 11ACWE@gmail with the subject TITLE
CHANGE.
        The submission method is via email to the 11acwe@gmail.com. You should receive an
email confirmation within 24 hours.

TABLES AND FIGURES
All tables and figures should be numbered. Table titles should be placed above the table. Figure
titles should be placed below the figure. Tables and figures may use different fonts and sizes as
appropriate, except that tables should contain no more lines and borders than show in the Table
1. Do NOT use colors in your tables, only figures can use colors but make sure that lines or dots
in the figures pointing specific features referenced in the text are clear (i.e. so that is not
confused with other lines/dots in cases when printed in black and white). A figure caption
example is show in Figure 1. Provide only neat images and tables that are easy to interpret (not
too crowded tables - columns should not be too close to one another). Do not provide figures or
tables that are not referenced in the text or that do not add anything to the content or that repeat
information provided in a figure.

EQUATIONS
Authors must make sure that equations’ variables, subscripts and superscripts are easily readable.
Long equations should be continued in a second line using appropriate syntax for mathematical
continuation. Equations should be referenced in the text as Equation 1 for example, that is
referenced in the text using no abbreviations. The caption of equations should be in parenthesis
and next to the right margin. The caption can use the same style as the 11ACWE-Body Text.
