Instructions for Papers accepted to LNCS Proceedings

LNCS/LNAI/LNBI is published, in parallel to the printed books, in full-text electronic form via the internet platform www.springerlink.com. Springer therefore needs all the electronic files, most importantly the source files, of all parts of the manuscript (including front matter pages) as advised in the instructions. Springer also requires a final pdf of each paper created and checked by the authors.

Deadline and Page Limit
The dealine for the camera ready version is the 1st of July, whereas the page limit is 11 pages using strictly the Springer-Verlag LNCS style files. The authors are encouraged to submit their work in Latex2e. Please note that at least one of each accepted paper authors must be registered so that the paper is included in the proceedings.

Submitting Your Manuscript to the PCI 2005
Please submit the following:
(a) Single-sided printout of the final (camera-ready) version of your contribution.
(b) Completed copyright form.
(c) Source (input) files (to the Paper Submission Site):
    (i) LaTeX2e files for the text and PS or EPS files for figures.
    (ii) Final DVI file (for papers prepared using LaTeX/TeX).
    (iii) Final PS file (please avoid using the option "reverse order").
    (iv) Final PDF file (if possible).
    (v) RTF files (for word-processing systems other than LaTeX/TeX).

The texts in all files must be identical, and they must match the contribution printout. Springer has recently introduced an extra control loop, subsequent to data conversion:  once data processing has been finished, Springer shall contact the corresponding authors and ask them to check their papers. Hence, we will need from you,  to indicate the corresponding author's email address which Springer will use for contacting the author for checking purposes.

Using LaTeX
If you are not able to use LaTeX2e you may use Springer's old macro package for LaTeX.

Using Microsoft Word
Springer  does not encourage the use of Microsoft Word , particularly as the layout of the pages (the position of figures and paragraphs) can change between printouts. However, we do provide the relevant templates and sample files for PC (sv-lncs.dot) and Mac (sv-lncs) environments. Please read the explanatory sv-lncs.pdf carefully.
