| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Springer provides you with a complete integrated \LaTeX{} document class |
| 5 | +(\texttt{llncs.cls}) for multi-author books such as those in the LNCS |
| 6 | +series. Papers not complying with the LNCS style will be reformatted. |
| 7 | +This can lead to an increase in the overall number of pages. We would |
| 8 | +therefore urge you not to squash your paper. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Please always cancel any superfluous definitions that are |
| 12 | +not actually used in your text. If you do not, these may conflict with |
| 13 | +the definitions of the macro package, causing changes in the structure |
| 14 | +of the text and leading to numerous mistakes in the proofs. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +If you wonder what \LaTeX{} is and where it can be obtained, see the |
| 18 | +``\textit{LaTeX project site}'' (\url{http://www.latex-project.org}) |
| 19 | +and especially the webpage ``\textit{How to get it}'' |
| 20 | +(\url{http://www.latex-project.org/ftp.html}) respectively. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +When you use \LaTeX\ together with our document class file, |
| 24 | +your text is typeset automatically in Computer Modern Roman (CM) fonts. |
| 25 | +Please do |
| 26 | +than the preset fonts, kindly submit these with your files. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Please use the commands \verb+\label+ and \verb+\ref+ for |
| 30 | +cross-references and the commands \verb+\bibitem+ and \verb+\cite+ for |
| 31 | +references to the bibliography, to enable us to create hyperlinks at |
| 32 | +these places. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +For preparing your figures electronically and integrating them into |
| 36 | +your source file we recommend using the standard \LaTeX{} \verb+graphics+ or |
| 37 | +\verb+graphicx+ package. These provide the \verb+\includegraphics+ command. |
| 38 | +In general, please refrain from using the \verb+\special+ command. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Remember to submit any further style files and |
| 42 | +fonts you have used together with your source files. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +\subsubsection{Headings.} |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +Headings should be capitalized |
| 49 | +(i.e., nouns, verbs, and all other words |
| 50 | +except articles, prepositions, and conjunctions should be set with an |
| 51 | +initial capital) and should, |
| 52 | +with the exception of the title, be aligned to the left. |
| 53 | +Words joined by a hyphen are subject to a special rule. If the first |
| 54 | +word can stand alone, the second word should be capitalized. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +Here are some examples of headings: ``Criteria to Disprove |
| 58 | +Context-Freeness of Collage Language", ``On Correcting the Intrusion of |
| 59 | +Tracing Non-deterministic Programs by Software", ``A User-Friendly and |
| 60 | +Extendable Data Distribution System", ``Multi-flip Networks: |
| 61 | +Parallelizing GenSAT", ``Self-determinations of Man". |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +\subsubsection{Lemmas, Propositions, and Theorems.} |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +The numbers accorded to lemmas, propositions, and theorems, etc. should |
| 68 | +appear in consecutive order, starting with Lemma 1, and not, for |
| 69 | +example, with Lemma 11. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +\subsection{Figures} |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +For \LaTeX\ users, we recommend using the \emph{graphics} or \emph{graphicx} |
| 76 | +package and the \verb+\includegraphics+ command. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +Please check that the lines in line drawings are not |
| 80 | +interrupted and are of a constant width. Grids and details within the |
| 81 | +figures must be clearly legible and may not be written one on top of |
| 82 | +the other. Line drawings should have a resolution of at least 800 dpi |
| 83 | +(preferably 1200 dpi). The lettering in figures should have a height of |
| 84 | +2~mm (10-point type). Figures should be numbered and should have a |
| 85 | +caption which should always be positioned \emph{under} the figures, in |
| 86 | +contrast to the caption belonging to a table, which should always appear |
| 87 | +your source. |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +Please center the figures or your tabular material by using the \verb+\centering+ |
| 91 | +declaration. Short captions are centered by default between the margins |
| 92 | +and typeset in 9-point type (Fig.~\ref{fig:example} shows an example). |
| 93 | +The distance between text and figure is preset to be about 8~mm, the |
| 94 | +distance between figure and caption about 6~mm. |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +To ensure that the reproduction of your illustrations is of a reasonable |
| 98 | +quality, we advise against the use of shading. The contrast should be as |
| 99 | +pronounced as possible. |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +If screenshots are necessary, please make sure that you are happy with |
| 103 | +the print quality before you send the files. |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +Please define figures (and tables) as floating objects. Please avoid |
| 106 | +using optional location parameters like ``\verb+[h]+" for ``here". |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +In the printed volumes, illustrations are generally black and white |
| 110 | +(halftones), and only in exceptional cases, and if the author is |
| 111 | +prepared to cover the extra cost for color reproduction, are colored |
| 112 | +pictures accepted. Colored pictures are welcome in the electronic |
| 113 | +version free of charge. If you send colored figures that are to be |
| 114 | +printed in black and white, please make sure that they really are |
| 115 | +legible in black and white. Some colors as well as the contrast of |
| 116 | +converted colors show up very poorly when printed in black and white. |
