Abstract—This electronic document is a “live” template with formats for the technical paper and information relevant to the Ocean Waves Workshop. The abstract is a synopsis or summary of the paper; it is not an introduction. It should be one paragraph and should not exceed 120 words.

1. Introduction

Ocean Waves Workshop papers provide a forum for marine scientists, engineers, military officers, and managers to discuss topics including but not limited to:

use of wave measurements to support operations, as well as alternative energy.

development of wave modeling framework to protect life and save property.

recent advances and issues in wave buoy technologies.

accessibility of wave information for scientists, engineers, and managers.

Extended abstracts have been solicited and will be published in a “pre-proceedings” and made available via the workshop website. Pre-proceedings stimulate ideas for discussion relevant to the above workshop topics. Four extended abstracts will be selected for development into full papers for presentation.

Abstracts and papers will be organized into the above topics online at:

http://scholarworks.uno.edu/oceanwaves/2013/

2. Method

The paper submissions should be provided by February 22, 2013. Sections should be used that support presentation of the thesis, case study, or topic, and the material that explains the author’s argument. These MS Word papers will be published in final proceedings along with extended abstracts, power point presentations, and conference notes. The final proceedings will be provided to workshop attendees and interested others within 30 to 60 days after the Workshop.

3. Formats

Submitted camera-ready papers for the Ocean Wave

Workshop should use this template. Papers must not exceed 8 pages (single space, two column format with 1" margins using a 10 pt Times New Roman font) and have no header or footer text (e.g., no page numbers). Titles should be in bold using a 14 pt font size and headers should be in bold using a 10 pt font size. The margins of this template except the middle margin are 20 mm. Do not add footers. Headers and footers will be edited by the editorial board for the compiled work. Please provide an email for the corresponding author.

4. Figures and Tables

Try to place figures and tables at the top and bottom of columns. Avoid placing them in the middle of columns. Large figures and tables may span across both columns. Figure captions should be below the figures; table heads should appear above the tables. Insert figures and tables after they are cited in the text. Use the abbreviation “Fig. 1”, even at the beginning of a sentence.

5. Results

Describe how your case study, program, or research results advances applied and operational oceanography. Address issues raised by operational organizations, policy makers, or raise new questions that are either unaddressed or rarely addressed by others.

Authors will need to turn their technical papers into a power point presentation. The Workshop will use PC-based projectors. Your presentation should be submitted electronically using a recent version of Microsoft PowerPoint. After you have prepared and reviewed your presentation, you can upload it to http://scholarworks.uno.edu/oceanwaves/2013/.

Use a slide template that is standard for PowerPoint. Non-standard templates often contain fonts not present on the presentation laptop, and your slides will not display properly. We are trying to avoid font incompatibilities.

6. Conclusion

PowerPoint files containing animation and links to other files (video, sound, etc) may not be compatible with the presentation laptop. Maintain at least a ½ inch extra margin space on each edge of the slide. Please do not run text too close to the edge of the slide.

The conference room at University of New Orleans’ Lindy C. Boggs International Conference Center may not be very dark; therefore, the slide color scheme that is easiest to read (in most rooms) is a light background with dark lettering. You may also use a dark background with light, high contrast colors. Avoid using red for any text since it is very difficult to read.

The following table provides a suggested composition for a 30-minute presentation. Aim for one but no more than two slides per minute of presentation.

Power point files for those presenting papers should be submitted by February 25, 2013. Workshop committee members will load PowerPoint Slides into one computer, and will advance slides for the presenter.

7. Acknowledgment

Please use this section to thank contributors and funders.

During the Ocean Waves Workshop a moderator and a group of rapporteurs will be instrumental in guiding discussions and capturing Workshop findings. The moderators will:

make opening session comments, introduce the presenter (s),

summarize key points as they relate to the session,

solicit questions, comments, and concerns from the audience, and

formally end their particular session and introduce the next event.

Several rapporteurs will be taking notes to capture workshop highlights. They will focus on taking notes during discussions, since this information is not contained in formal papers, but may be valuable and helpful additions to the final proceedings. Rapporteurs will be collecting point of contact information as well.

8. References

The paper should contain in-text citations that are numbered consecutively within brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]—do not use “Ref. [3]” or “reference [3]” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first . . .”.

9. Submission of the manuscript

Submissions should be provided electronically by October 21, 2011 as a MS Word document for standard US letter-size paper (8.5 x 11 inches). The size of your e-mail submission to oceanwaves@uno.edu should be less than 20 MB.
