<p>Headings should be capitalized (i.e., nouns, verbs, and all other words except articles, prepositions, and conjunctions should be set with an initial capital) and should, with the exception of the title, be aligned to the left. Only the first two levels of section headings should be numbered, as shown in Table 1. The respective font sizes are also given in Table 1. Kindly refrain from using “0” when numbering your section headings.</p>

<p>Words joined by a hyphen are subject to a special rule. If the first word can stand alone, the second word should be capitalized.</p>
<p>Here are some examples of headings: “Criteria to Disprove Context-Freeness of Collage Languages”, “On Correcting the Intrusion of Tracing Non-deterministic Programs by Software”, “A User-Friendly and Extendable Data Distribution System”, “Multi-flip Networks: Parallelizing GenSAT”, “Self-determinations of Man”.</p>

<h3 property="schema:name">Length of Papers</h3>

<p>There is no need to include page numbers or running heads; this will be done at our end. If your paper title is too long to serve as a running head, it will be shortened. Your suggestion as to how to shorten it would be most welcome.</p>

<section id="figures-and-tables" rel="schema:hasPart" resource="#length-of-paper">
<h3 property="schema:name">Figures and Tables</h3>
<div datatype="rdf:HTML" property="schema:description">
<p>It is essential that all illustrations are clear and legible. Vector graphics (rather than rasterized images) should be used for diagrams and schemas whenever possible. Please check that the lines in line drawings are not interrupted and have a constant width. Grids and details within the figures must be clearly legible and may not be written one on top of the other. Line drawings are to have a resolution of at least 800 dpi (preferably 1200 dpi). The lettering in figures should not use font sizes</p>

<p>smaller than 6 pt (~ 2 mm character height). Figures are to be numbered and to have a caption which should always be positioned <em>under</em> the figures, in contrast to the caption belonging to a table, which should always appear <em>above</em> the table.</p>
<p>Captions are set in 9-point type. If they are short, they are centered between the margins. Longer captions, covering more than one line, are justified (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show examples). Captions that do not constitute a full sentence, do not have a period.</p>
<p>Text fragments of fewer than four lines should not appear at the tops or bottoms of pages, following a table or figure. In such cases, it is better to set the figures right at the top or right at the bottom of the page.</p>
<p>If screenshots are necessary, please make sure that the essential content is clear to the reader.</p>

<h5 property="schema:name">Remark 1</h5>
<div datatype="rdf:HTML" property="schema:description">
<p>In the printed volumes, illustrations are generally black and white (halftones), and only in exceptional cases, and if the author or the conference organization is prepared to cover the extra costs involved, are colored pictures accepted. Colored pictures are welcome in the electronic version free of charge. If you send colored figures that are to be printed in black and white, please make sure that they really are also legible in black and white. Some colors show up very poorly when printed in black and white.</p>

<p>Please write all references using the Latin alphabet. If the title of the book you are referring to is, e.g., in Russian or Chinese, then please write (in Russian) or (in Chinese) at the end of the transcript or translation of the title.</p>
<p>In order to permit cross referencing within SpringerLink, and eventually between different publishers and their online databases, Springer standardizes the format of the references. This feature aims to increase the visibility of publications and facilitate academic research. Please base your references on the examples given in the references section of these instructions. References that do not adhere to this style will be reformatted at our end.</p>
<p>We would like to draw your attention to the fact that references to LNCS proceedings papers are particularly often reformatted due to missing editor names or incomplete publisher information. This adjustment may result in the final papers as published by Springer having more pages than the original versions as submitted by the authors. Here is an example:</p>
<p>Reference as formatted in author’s original version:</p>
<p>Assemlal, H.E., Tschumperlé, D., Brun, L.: Efficient Computation of PDF-Based Characteristics from Diffusion MR Signal. In: MICCAI. Volume 5242. (2008) 70–78</p>
<p>Reference after reformatting by Springer:</p>
<p>Assemlal, H.E., Tschumperlé, D., Brun, L.: Efficient Computation of PDF-Based Characteristics from Diffusion MR Signal. In: Metaxas, D., Axel, L., Fichtinger, G., Székely, G. (eds.) MICCAI 2008, Part II. LNCS, vol. 5242, pp. 70–78. Springer, Heidelberg (2008)</p>
<p>One more line is needed for this reference, as a result of Springer’s adjustment.</p>
<p>Please make sure that all your sources are correctly listed in the reference section.</p>
<p>Do not include references to pieces of work that are not connected with your paper.</p>
<p>The references section at the end of this paper shows a sample reference list with entries for journal articles [<a class="ref" href="#ref-1">1</a>], an LNCS chapter [<a class="ref" href="#ref-2">2</a>], a book [<a class="ref" href="#ref-3">3</a>], proceedings without editors [<a class="ref" href="#ref-4">4</a>] and [<a class="ref" href="#ref-5">5</a>], as well as a URL [<a class="ref" href="#ref-6">6</a>]. Please note that Springer proceedings are cited with their publication acronyms and volume numbers.</p>

<h3 property="schema:name">Plagiarism</h3>
<div datatype="rdf:HTML" property="schema:description">
<p>Springer takes plagiarism seriously. If an author has copied from another author or has used parts of another author’s work (text, tables, figures, etc.), without his or her permission and a reference, then the paper on SpringerLink will be given a “retracted” stamp, and an erratum explaining the reasons for the retraction will be included. In addition, the volume editors and the author’s academic supervisors will be informed that plagiarism has been committed. Please note that a retracted paper remains visible, with its “retracted” stamp. It does not simply disappear.</p>

Please send your signed copyright form to your conference publication contact, either as a scanned PDF or by fax or by courier. One author may sign on behalf of all of the other authors of a particular paper.

<p>Kindly assure that, when you submit the final version of your paper, you also provide the name and e-mail address of the contact author for your paper. These details are used to compile a list of contact authors for our typesetting partners SPS in India. The contact author must be available to check the paper roughly seven weeks before the start of the conference, or before the book is due to leave the printing office, in the case of post-conference proceedings. Please also mark the corresponding author in the header of the paper, preferably with a small envelope. If this is not done by you, it will be carried out by our typesetters.</p>

<div datatype="rdf:HTML" property="schema:description">
<p> Authors’ names should be written out in full at the tops of the papers. They are shortened by us to “initials surname” in the running heads and take the form “surname, given name” in the author index. If you or any of your co-authors have more than one family name, it should be made quite clear how your name is to be displayed in the running heads and the author index. Chinese authors should write their given names in front of their surnames at the tops of their papers. If you only have one (main) name, please make sure that this name is written out in full in the running heads, when you check your final PDF. Names and affiliations cannot be changed once a paper has been published.</p>

<p>Please make sure that the paper you submit is final and complete, that any copyright issues have been resolved, that the authors listed at the top of the chapter really are the final authors, and that you have not omitted any references.

<p>If the instructions have been followed closely, then only very minor alterations will be made to your paper. The production team at SPS checks the format of the paper, and if, for example, vertical spacing has been inserted or removed, then this is remedied. In addition, running-heads, final page numbers, and a copyright line are inserted, and the capitalization of the headings is checked and corrected if need be. Finally, the reference section is attuned to our specifications (see also Section 2.7). Light technical copyediting may also be performed for post-proceedings.</p>

<h3 property="schema:name">Proof Reading Stage</h3>
<div datatype="rdf:HTML" property="schema:description">
<p>Once the files have been worked upon, SPS sends a copy of the final PDF of each paper to its contact author. The contact author is asked to check through the final PDF to make sure that no errors have crept in during the transfer or preparation of the files. This should not be seen as an opportunity to update or copyedit the paper, which is not possible due to time constraints. Only errors introduced during the preparation of the files will be corrected. Particular attention should be paid to the references section.</p>
<p>If SPS does not receive a reply from a particular contact author, within the timeframe given (usually 72 hours), then it is presumed that the author has found no errors in the paper. The tight publication schedule of our proceedings series does not allow SPS to send reminders or search for alternative e-mail addresses on the Internet.</p>
<p>In some cases, it is the contact volume editor or the publication chair who checks all of the PDFs. In such cases, the authors are not involved in the checking phase.</p>
<p>The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables, and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not possible and cannot be processed.</p>
