\section{Introduction}
Please follow the steps outlined in this document very carefully when
submitting your manuscript to AGIT.
You may as well use the \LaTeX\ source as a template to typeset your own
paper. In this case we encourage you to also read the \LaTeX\ comments
embedded in the document.
AGIT uses the EasyChair Online Review System to peer review manuscript submissions. A manuscript submission will be considered on the strict condition that
\begin{itemize}
\item the manuscript is your own original work, and does not duplicate any other previously published work, including your own previously published work
\item the manuscript has been submitted only to AGIT and is not under consideration or peer review or accepted for publication or in press or published elsewhere
\item all rights for images have been taken care of by the authors
\item the manuscript contains nothing that is abusive, defamatory, obscene, fraudulent, or illegal under Austrian law
\item the manuscript is in English or German language
\end{itemize}
You must obtain written permission from the copyright owner prior to submission for any material in your manuscript for which you do not hold copyright. Such material may be in the form of text, data, table, illustration, photograph, line drawing, audio clip, video clip, film still, and screenshot, and any supplemental material you propose to include. This applies to direct (verbatim or facsimile) reproduction as well as “derivative reproduction”, i.e. where you have created a new figure or table, which derives substantially from a copyrighted source.
You must ensure that appropriate acknowledgment is given to the permission granted to you for reuse by the copyright holder in each figure or table caption. You are solely responsible for any fees, which the copyright holder may charge for reuse.
The reproduction of short extracts of text, excluding poetry and song lyrics, for the purposes of criticism may be possible without formal permission on the basis that the quotation is reproduced accurately and full attribution is given.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Instructions}
Please read the following carefully.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Submission Categories}
\underline{Short-paper track} \\
2000 to 3000-word manuscripts of original and unpublished research work as well as high-quality scientific and strategic (industrial and governmental) submissions will be accepted for presentation at the AGIT conference and published open-access in the AGIT conference series Journal (of University Library of PLUS). Each submission will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee.\\
After the conference, selected short papers will be invited by the Program Committee to submit a Full Paper to a special issue of the journal gis.Science (\url{https://gispoint.de/gis-science/zeitschrift.html}). The SI will be published in October 2025. \\ \\
\underline{Abstract track}\\
Abstracts can be submitted as Extended Abstracts (400-600 words) using the Easychair system (unformatted). All abstracts will be reviewed by the General Chairs and the Program Committee.
In the submission process, please indicate if your submission is intended for
\begin{itemize}
\item a poster
\item or a short presentation (pitch): this can contain reports, work in progress (workbench reports), or already finished (more applied) projects.
\end{itemize}
Both submission categories will be published using the open-access publication server of the Paris-Lodron-University Salzburg \url{https://eplus.uni-salzburg.at/obvusboaz}, with a DOI identifier.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Submission Instructions}
All short paper submission to AGIT should follow the instructions for authors and use the AGIT LaTeX template. The AGIT review process is double-blind, so please do not include any identifying information in the paper PDF.
Authors who are unfamiliar with LaTeX, but keen to try, are highly encouraged to use Overleaf, an online LaTeX editor that is easy to use and does not require any local installation. Overleaf comes with the AGIT template pre-loaded. Authors who want to use other text editors should stay close to the sample article’s layout for their paper submitted for review. Should their papers be accepted for publication, they have to be converted to LaTeX using the AGIT template. Authors are responsible for the conversion of their papers to LaTeX.
\begin{itemize}
\item Short papers should be submitted as PDF via EasyChair system using the Overleaf Template (\url{https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=agit-2025})
\item Abstracts can be submitted using EasyChair directly and unformatted ((\url{https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=agit-2025})).
\end{itemize}
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Language}
All manuscripts must be in English or German language. In order to use German language
please uncomment \verb|%GERMAN Language support %\usepackage[ngerman]{babel} | in line 34.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Margins and page numbering}
All printed material, including text, illustrations, and charts,
must be kept within a print area %6.31 inches (16.03 cm)
17.7 cm wide by
%9.10 inches (23.13 cm)
24 cm high. Do not write or print anything
outside the print area. Number your pages on odd sites right
above, on even sites left above, no page number on the first site.
Do not use page numbering within the final version of your paper.
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Formatting your paper}
% All text with the exception of the abstract must be in a two-column format.
% The total allowable width of the text area -- including header and footer
% lines -- is 161\,mm (6.34 inch) wide by 231\,mm (9.10 inch) high.
%
% Columns are to be 76\,mm (3.0 inch) wide, with a 8\,mm (0.315 inch) space
% between them.
All text with the exception of the abstract must be in a two-column format.
The total allowable width of the text area -- including header and footer
lines -- is 177\,mm wide by 245\,mm high.
Columns are to be 84\,mm wide, with a 8\,mm space
between them.
The space between the header line and the first line of the text body and
between the last line of the text body and the footer line is 5\,mm
each.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Type-style and fonts}
Wherever Times is specified, Times Roman may also be used. If
neither is available on your word processor, please use the font
closest in appearance to Times that you have access to. Only
Type-1 fonts will be accepted.
MAIN TITLE. The title should be in Times 17-point, boldface type and
centered. Capitalize the first letter of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives,
and adverbs; do not capitalize articles, coordinate conjunctions, or
prepositions (unless the title begins with such a word). Leave two blank
lines after the title.
AUTHOR NAME(s) and AFFILIATION(s) are to be centered beneath the title and
printed in Times 9-point, non-boldface type. This information is to be
followed by two blank lines.
The ABSTRACT is to be in a one-column format. The MAIN TEXT is to be in a
two-column format.
MAIN TEXT. Type main text in 9-point Times, single-spaced. Do \emph{not} use
double-spacing. All paragraphs should be indented 1 em (the length of the
dash in the actual font). Make sure your text is fully justified -- that is,
flush left and flush right. Please do not place any additional blank lines
between paragraphs. Figure and table captions should be 9-point Times
boldface type as in Figure~\ref{fig:firstExample}.
\noindent Long captions should be set as in Figure~\ref{fig:ex1} or
Figure~\ref{fig:ex3}.
\begin{figure}[htb]
% an empty figure just consisting of the caption lines
\caption{\label{fig:ex1}
'Empty' figure only to serve as an example of long caption requiring
more than one line. It is not typed centered but aligned on both sides.}
\end{figure}
\noindent
Figures which need the full textwidth can be typeset as Figure~\ref{fig:ex3}.
\noindent Callouts should be 9-point Times, non-boldface type. Initially
capitalize only the first word of section titles and first-, second-, and
third-order headings.
FIRST-ORDER HEADINGS. (For example, \textbf{1. Introduction}) should be Times
9-point boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, with one blank line
before, and one blank line after.
SECOND-ORDER HEADINGS. (For example, \textbf{2.1. Language}) should be Times
9-point boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, with one blank line
before, and one after. If you require a third-order heading (we discourage
it), use 9-point Times, boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, preceded
by one blank line, followed by a period and your text on the same line.
The headline \emph{(authors / title)} must be shortened if it uses the full
two column width of the main text.
There must be enough space for the page numbers. Please use ``et al.'' if
there are more than three authors and specify a shortened version for your title.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Footnotes}
Please do \emph{not} use footnotes at all!
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{References}
List all bibliographical references in 9-point Times, single-spaced, at the
end of your paper in alphabetical order. When referenced in the text, enclose
the citation index in regular brackets, for example \cite{Lous90}. Where appropriate, include the name(s) of editors of referenced books.
For your references please use the following algorithm:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{one} author: Lastname, Year --
e.g.\ \cite{Lous90}
\item \textbf{two}, \textbf{three}, \textbf{four} or \textbf{five} authors: Lastnames of the authors (divided by "," or \&) and Year -- e.g.\ \cite{Fellner-Helmberg93}
or \cite{Kobbelt97-USHDR} or \cite{Lafortune97-NARF} or \cite{Buhmann:1998:DCQ}
\item \textbf{more than 5} authors: Lastname of first author followed by "et al., Year".
e.g.\ \cite{Mai2022}.
\item For
\end{itemize}
The most important citation commands are as follows:
\begin{itemize}
\item For citations in parenthesis, like \cite{Lous90}, use the command \verb|\cite{bibid}|.
\item For in-text citations, like \citeA{Lous90}, use the command \verb|\citeA{bibid}|
\end{itemize}
For both citation commands, you can use additional prefixes (like e.g.) or include the page number - like \cite<e.g.,>[p.~11]{Lous90} - with the command \verb| \cite<e.g.,>[p.~11]{bibid}|.
For BibTeX users, please use the provided style file \ \texttt{apacite} \ which
implements the above algorithm (for more information on the \verb|apacite| package please refer to the documentation \url{https://ctan.math.illinois.edu/macros/latex/contrib/apacite/apacite.pdf}). A sample \verb*|bibsample.bib| file is available that is required to provide the bibliographic data for the paper.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Illustrations, graphs, and photographs}
All graphics should be centered.

% the following command controls the width of the embedded PS file
% (relative to the width of the current column)
\includegraphics[width=.8\linewidth]{agitsocialmedia}
% replacing the above command with the one below will explicitly set
% the bounding box of the PS figure to the rectangle (xl,yl),(xh,yh).
% It will also prevent LaTeX from reading the PS file to determine
% the bounding box (i.e., it will speed up the compilation process)
% \includegraphics[width=.95\linewidth, bb=39 696 126 756]{sampleFig}
%
\parbox[t]{.9\columnwidth}{\relax
For all figures please keep in mind that you \textbf{must not}
use images with transparent background!
}
%
\caption{\label{fig:firstExample}
Here is a sample figure.}
\end{figure}
If your paper includes images, it is very important that they are of
sufficient resolution to be faithfully reproduced.
To determine the optimum size (width and height) of an image, measure
the image's size as it appears in your document (in millimeters), and
then multiply those two values by 12. The resulting values are the
optimum $x$ and $y$ resolution, in pixels, of the image. Image quality
will suffer if these guidelines are not followed.
Example 1:
%
An image measures 50\,mm by 75\,mm when placed in a document. This
image should have a resolution of no less than 600 pixels by 900
pixels in order to be reproduced faithfully.
Example 2:
%
Capturing a screenshot of your entire $1024 \times 768$ pixel display
monitor may be useful in illustrating a concept from your research. In
order to be reproduced faithfully, that $1024 \times 768$ image should
be no larger than 85 mm by 64 mm (approximately) when placed in your
document.
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Color}
\textbf{Please observe:} as of 2003 publications in the proceedings of the
Eurographics Conference can use color images throughout the paper. No
separate color tables are necessary.
However, workshop proceedings might have different agreements!
Figure~\ref{fig:ex3} is an example for creating color plates.
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{Embedding of Hyperlinks / Typesetting of URLs}
Due to the use of the package \texttt{hyperref} the original behavior
of the command $\backslash$\texttt{url} from the package \texttt{url}
is not available. To circumvent this problem we either recommend to
use the command $\backslash$\texttt{httpAddr} from the
included package \texttt{egweblnk} (see below) or to replace the
command $\backslash$\texttt{url} by the command $\backslash$\texttt{webLink}
-- e.g. in cases where $\backslash$\texttt{url} has been used
widely in BibTeX-References. In the latter case we suggest to run
BibTeX as usual and then replace all occurences of $\backslash$\texttt{url} by
$\backslash$\texttt{webLink}
\noindent
The provided commands for hyperlinks, in a nutshell, are:
\begin{description} \itemsep 1ex
\item [\webLinkFont $\backslash$httpAddr \{URL without leading 'http:'\}]
\mbox{}\\
e.g. \ \httpAddr{//diglib.eg.org/EG/DL/WS}
\item[\webLinkFont $\backslash$ftpAddr \{URL without leading 'ftp:'\}]
\mbox{}\\
e.g. \ \ftpAddr{//www.eg.org/EG/DL/ftpupload}
\item[\webLinkFont $\backslash$URL \{url\}]
\mbox{}\\
e.g. \ \URL{http://www.eg.org/EG/DL/WS}
\item[\webLinkFont $\backslash$MailTo \{Email addr\}]
\mbox{}\\
e.g. \ \MailTo{publishing@eg.org}
\item[\webLinkFont $\backslash$MailToNA \{emailName\}\{@emailSiteAddress\}]
\mbox{}\\
e.g. \ \MailToNA{publishing}{@eg.org}
\item[\webLinkFont $\backslash$webLink\{URL without hyperlink creation\}]
\mbox{}\\
e.g. \ \webLink{http://www.eg.org/some_arbitrary_long/but_useless/URL}
\end{description}
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsection{PDF Generation}
If you use Overleaf \url{www.overleaf.com} to generate your PDF, you can neglect
the following description, due to the fact that Overleaf produces the PDF
with the desired options automatically. Hence, we strongly recommend to use the Overleaf
platform with the provided template.
Your final paper should be delivered as a PDF document with all typefaces
embedded. \LaTeX{} users should use \texttt{dvips} and \texttt{ps2pdf} to
create this PDF document. Adobe Acrobat Distiller may be used in place of
\texttt{ps2pdf}.
Adobe PDFWriter is \emph{not} acceptable for use. Documents created with
PDFWriter will be returned to the author for revision. \texttt{pdftex} and
\texttt{pdflatex} (and its variants) can be used only if the author can
make certain that all typefaces are embedded and images are not downsampled
or subsampled during the PDF creation process.
Users with no access to these PDF creation tools should make available a
PostScript file and we will make a PDF document from it.
The PDF file \emph{must not} be change protected.
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsubsection*{Configuration Notes: dvips / ps2pdf / etc.}
\noindent
\texttt{dvips} should be invoked with the \texttt{-Ppdf} and \texttt{-G0}
flags in order to use Type 1 PostScript typefaces:
\begin{verbatim}
dvips -t a4 -Ppdf -G0 -o my.ps my.dvi
\end{verbatim}
\noindent
If you are using version 7.x of GhostScript, please use the following method of invoking \texttt{ps2pdf}, in
order to embed all typefaces and ensure that images are not downsampled or subsampled in the PDF
creation process:
\begin{verbatim}
ps2pdf -dMaxSubsetPct=100 \
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.3 \
-dSubsetFonts=true \
-dEmbedAllFonts=true \
-dAutoFilterColorImages=false \
-dAutoFilterGrayImages=false \
-dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
-dGrayImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
-dMonoImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
mypaper.ps mypaper.pdf
\end{verbatim}
If you are using version 8.x of GhostScript, please use this method in place of the example above:
\begin{verbatim}
ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress \
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.3 \
-dAutoFilterColorImages=false \
-dAutoFilterGrayImages=false \
-dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
-dGrayImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
-dMonoImageFilter=/FlateEncode \
-dDownsampleColorImages=false \
-dDownsampleGrayImages=false \
mypaper.ps mypaper.pdf
\end{verbatim}
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsubsection*{Configuration Notes: pdftex / pdflatex / etc.}
\noindent
Configuration of these tools to embed all typefaces can be accomplished by editing the \texttt{updmap.cfg} file
to enable inclusion of the standard (or base) 14 typefaces.
Linux users can run the \texttt{updmap} script to do this:
\begin{verbatim}
updmap --setoption pdftexDownloadBase14 true
\end{verbatim}
Windows users should edit the \texttt{updmap.cfg} files found in their TeX installation directories (one or both
of the following may be present):
\begin{verbatim}
INSTALLDIR\texmf\web2c\updmap.cfg
INSTALLDIR\localtexmf\miktex\config\updmap.cfg
\end{verbatim}
Ensure the value for \texttt{pdftexDownloadBase14} is "true," and then follow the instructions found here:
\httpAddr{//docs.miktex.org/manual/} to update your MikTeX installation.
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\subsubsection*{Configuration Notes: Acrobat Distiller}
We recommend to use a Distiller job options file that embeds
all typefaces and does not downsample or subsample images when creating the PDF document.
