Altshuller Institute File Formatting Guidelines TRIZCON2010

REQUIREMENTS

  •  Finished Papers should be delivered to the Institute in an electronic format—either in MICROSOFT WORD (.doc) or RICH TEXT FORMAT (.rtf). PDF documents, including those derived from other applications, must not be locked and MUST BE FORMATTED TO THE PAGE SIZE AND MARGINS BELOW:
  • All papers must be formatted as U.S. Standard 8.5” X 11” size, with the following other specifications:

Top and bottom margins: 1 inch
Left and right margins: 1.25 inch
No headers or footers.

  • All inserted images (drawings, pictures, diagrams, etc.) should also be included as separate graphic files. Do not insert images taken from the Web, or scanned from printed materials other than images that you own, without submitting with your paper proof of usage permission or proof of public domain status.

RECOMMENDATIONS

  •  While electronic publication is in color, hard-copy Proceedings are printed with black ink only. Therefore, it is highly recommended that all charts, graphs, pictures, screens, etc. are adjusted for clarity in black and white versions. No adjustments to graphics will be made when colors are translated to black and white for hard-copy.
  •  Times New Roman set at 12-point size is the recommended font for main body of the text.
  • Text and lettering in accompanying illustrative material should be in English.
  • Type the title and caption of each table in upper and lower case above the table.
  • Type the title and caption of each figure above and centered over the figure. Be sure that each table or figure reference in the text has a corresponding figure or table.
  • Papers should not exceed 20 pages without permission from AI.

The Altshuller Institute for TRIZ Studies is issuing a call for papers to be presented at the 12th Annual Conference on TRIZ Studies. The date and venue for the Conference is still under discussion. The theme for our Conference this year will be: TRIZ for New Beginnings

The emphasis on papers for this event should be REAL case studies with measured results and how TRIZ was used to develop the solution. We are strongly interested in providing content for corporate and educational users. Attendees are looking for concrete case studies -- where TRIZ has been applied to provide REAL solution concepts. Papers on TRIZ in Education and other traditional topics are suitable for the Conference.

New opportunities for the application of innovative problem solving are constantly being posed by contradictions in all aspects of technology. Equally important is a growing awareness that we need to tap the unrecognized resource within systems as we improve design. As more practitioners, companies, and industries incorporate TRIZ into their design methodologies, the methodology itself will become more expansive and more refined. The Annual Conference on TRIZ Studies is an excellent forum to facilitate this growth and refinement. Presentations of either insight or case studies from technical and non-technical fields are welcome. Completed projects and applications, as well as those in progress, are candidates for presentation. Presentations that interest attendees include:

  • New applications of TRIZ
  • Advanced applications of TRIZ
  • New developments in the TRIZ tool bag
  • Approaches and techniques that can be used by teachers in the classroom
  • TRIZ applications that can be taught to children and the elderly

Submission Requirements:

Interested parties are invited to submit an abstract (150 to 200 words) of their proposed paper with Title, along with a brief, current biography of the author/s, and a picture of the author (head shot).

To submit an abstract via the web, you must create either a free or paid online membership and then click on the "Submit for TRIZCON" link under TRIZCON2010 in the left main menu.  This menu item is ONLY available for registered members.
