Instructions to Authors
Authors are encouraged to submit high quality, original work that has neither appeared in, nor is under consideration by, other journals.
Process for Submission
1. Authors should submit five hard copies of their final manuscript to:
GeoInformatica
Journal Editorial Office/Melissa Andersen
Kluwer Academic Publishers
101 Philip Drive, Norwell
MA 02061, USA
2. Enclose with each manuscript, on a separate page, from three to five key words.
3. Enclose originals for the illustrations, see "Style for Illustrations", for one copy of the manuscript. Photocopies of the figures may accompany the remaining copies of the manuscript. Alternately, original illustrations may be submitted after the paper has been accepted.
4. Enclose a separate page giving the preferred address of the contact author for correspondence and return of proofs. Please include a telephone number, fax number and email address, if available.
5. If possible, send an electronic mail message to melissa.andersen@wkap.com at the time your manuscript is submitted, including the title, authors names, and abstract. This will help the journal expedite the refereeing of the manuscript.
6. The refereeing is done by anonymous reviewers.
Style for Manuscript
1. Typeset, double space in English; use one side of sheet only (laser printed, typewritten and good quality duplication acceptable).
2. Use an informative title for the paper and include an abstract of 100 to 250 words at the head of the manuscript. The abstract should be a carefully worded description of the problem addressed, the key ideas introduced, and the results. Abstracts will be printed with the article.
3. Provide a separate double-spaced sheet listing all footnotes, beginning with "Affiliation of author" and continuing with numbered footnotes. Acknowledgment of financial support may be given if appropriate.
4. References should appear in a separate bibliography at the end of the paper, double-spaced, with items referred to by numerals and put in alphabetical order. References in the text should be denoted by numbers in square brackets, e.g., [12]. References should be complete, in the following style:
Style for papers: Author(s) initials followed by last name for each author, paper title, publication name, volume, inclusive page numbers, month and year.
Style for books: Author(s), title, publisher, location, year, chapter or page numbers (if desired).
Examples as follows:
o (Book) D. Marr, Vision, A Computational Investigation into the Human Representation & Processing of Visual Information, Freeman: San Francisco, CA, 1982.
o (Journal Article) A. Rosenfeld and M. Thurston. "Edge and curve detection for visual scene analysis", IEEE Trans. Comput., Vol. C-20:562-569, 1971.
o (Conference Proceedings) A. Witkin. "Scales space filtering", in Proc. Int. Joint Conf. Artif. Intell., Karlsruhe, West Germany, 1019-1021, 1983.
o (Lab. memo.) A.L. Yuille and T. Poggio. "Scaling theorems for zero crossings"; M.I.T. Artif. Intell. Lab., Massachusetts Inst. Technol., Cambridge, MA, A.I. Memo. 722, 1983.
5. Type or mark mathematical expressions exactly as they should appear in print. Journal style for letter symbols is as follows: Variables, italic type (indicated by underline); constants, roman text type; matrices and vectors, boldface type (indicated by wavy underline). In word-processor manuscripts, use appropriate typeface. It will be assumed that letters in displayed equations are to be set in italic type unless you mark them otherwise. All letter symbols in text discussion must be marked if they should be italic or boldface. Indicate best breaks for equations in case they will not fit on one line.

Any questions about the above procedures please send e-mail to: dthelp@wkap.com
We hope that these electronic procedures will encourage the submission of manuscripts to this journal as well as improve the publication schedule.
Style for Illustrations
1. Originals for illustrations should be sharp, noise-free, and of good contrast. We regret that we cannot provide drafting or art service.
2. Line drawings should be in laser printer output or in India ink on paper, or board. Use 8 by 11-inch (22 x 29 cm) size sheets if possible, to simplify handling of the manuscript.
3. Each figure should be mentioned in the text and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. In one of your copies, which you should clearly distinguish, specify the desired location of each figure in the text but place the original figure itself on a separate page. In the remainder of copies, which will be read by the reviewers, include the illustration itself at the relevant place in the text.
4. Number each table consecutively using Arabic numerals. Please label any material that can be typeset as a table, reserving the term figure for material that has been drawn. Specify the desired location of each table in the text, but place the table itself on a separate page following the text. Type a brief title above each table.
5. All lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction.
6. Photographs should be glossy prints, of good contrast and gradation, and any reasonable size.
7. Number each original on the back.
8. Provide a separate sheet listing all figure captions, in proper style for the typesetter, e.g., Fig. 3. Examples of the fault coverage of random vectors in (a) combinational and (b) sequential circuits.
Proofing
Page proofs for articles to be included in a journal issue will be sent to the contact author for proofing, unless otherwise informed. The proofread copy should be received back by the Publisher within 72 hours.

To comply with the U.S. Copyright Law, authors are required to sign a copyright transfer form before publication. This form returns to authors and their employers full rights to reuse their material for their own purposes. Authors must submit a signed copy of this form with their manuscript.
