Authors Instructions

Below are the instructions for the final version of your submission. Please read the whole instructions carefully. Submissions that do not conform to the Springer guidelines will not be included in the proceedings. If possible, we suggest that you send the paper before the due deadline to allow us to go over the file and confirm its compliance.

Submission deadline and instructions

Your electronic submission is due on or before June 20, 2012. Your page limit is 18 pages (including bibliography and well-marked appendices). Papers not received by the due deadline will not be included in the proceedings. The final version of your paper must follow Springer guidelines available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Please keep to the Springer template, do not redefine margins, and do not use commands to fit into page limits (the paper will be reformatted by the publisher).

Feedback from Springer

Springer has recently introduced an extra control loop: once data processing is finished, they will contact the corresponding author and ask her/him to check their papers. We expect this to happen shortly before the printing of the proceedings. At that time your quick interaction with Springer will be greatly appreciated.
