Templates

The papers can be submitted by using the web upload system.

The DAFx templates for LaTeX and Microsoft Word are available for download here:

We recommend that you print and read this information carefully before downloading the templates package.

DAFx-08 templates are derived from those used in 2007. This information was adapted and modified from the WASPAA'99 info page that was created by Jyri Huopaniemi.

  1. This is the LaTeX template for DAFx-08. In the package, you will find the following files:
  2. This is the Microsoft Word template for DAFx-08. In the package, you will find the following files:
  3. Whether you use LaTeX or Word, the paper must be converted to the Adobe pdf format prior to submission. You can use the Adobe Acrobat Distiller (or pdf virtual printer) to perform the conversion, while the makefile directly produces the paper in the proper format.
  4. All manuscripts must be in English.
  5. The paper must be no longer than eight (8) pages for oral presentation or no longer than four (4) pages for poster presentation. It may be shorter.
  6. To achieve the best viewing experience both for the proceedings and the CD-ROM, we strongly encourage to use Times-Roman font (the LaTeX style file as well as the Word template files use Times-Roman). In addition, this will give the proceedings a more uniform look.
  7. The paper should be in the following format:
Additional Instructions

Note that most of the following instructions are fulfilled by using the provided templates.

  1. For 9-point type font, there should be no more than 3.2 lines/cm (8 lines/inch) vertically. This is a minimum spacing; 2.75 lines/cm (7 lines/inch) will make the paper much more readable. Larger type sizes require correspondingly larger vertical spacing.
  2. Paper Title - The paper title has to appear in capital letters, boldface if possible, centered across the top of the two columns on the first page as indicated above.
  3. Authors' Name(s) - Authors' name(s) and affiliation(s) appear below the title in capital and lower case letters. If space permits include a mailing address here. The templates indicate the area where the title and author information should go. These items need not be strictly confined to the number of lines indicated; papers with multiple authors and affiliations, for example, may require two or more lines for this information. However, the placement of the title should be immediately below the top line.
  4. Abstract - Each paper should contain an abstract that appears at the beginning of the paper.
  5. Major Headings - Major headings appear in capital letters, bold face, centered in the column. Examples of the various levels of headings are included in the templates.
  6. Sub Headings - Sub headings appear in capital and lower case, in boldface. They start at the left margin on a separate line.
  7. Sub-Sub Headings - Sub-sub headings appear in capital and lower case, indented like a paragraph and on a separate line. They are in italics.
  8. References - List and number all references at the end of the paper. The references are numbered in order of appearance in the document. When referring to them in the text, type the corresponding reference number in square brackets as shown at the end of this sentence [1].

  9. Illustrations - Illustrations must appear within the designated margins, and must be provided positioned within the paper. They may span over the two columns. When possible, place illustrations at the tops of columns, rather than in the middle or at the bottom. Caption and number every illustration. All half-tone illustrations must be clear black and white prints. Line drawings may be made in black ink on white paper. Do not use any colors in illustrations.
  10. WWW URL links - Authors are encouraged to include the WWW URL address in the paper and/or abstract to refer to any online information related to the paper, such as accompanied audio/video files, links of relevant publications and demos. The URL link allows authors to share proper and updated information with reviewers.
