Authors Instructions for the Preparation

of Contributions to Proceedings

Joseph Smith1 and Erika Smith1

University, Department, Address, Country
{joseph.smith, erika.smith}@university.edu

Abstract. The abstract should summarize the contents of the


paper and should contain up to 300 words. It should be set in
9-point font size and should be inset 1.0 cm from the right and
left margins. There should be two blank (10-point) lines before
and after the abstract. This document is in the required
format.

Keywords: We would like to encourage you to list your


keywords in this section.

1 Introduction

This instruction file should be used as a template. Papers must be


written in English. Each paper should not exceed 10 pages
considering the format herein described. Please do not include
header or footer in your document.

2 Paper Preparation

The printing area is 122 mm 193 mm. The text should be justified
to occupy the full line width, so that the right margin is not ragged,
with words hyphenated as appropriate. Please fill pages so that the
length of the text is no less than 180 mm, if possible.
Use 10-point type for the name(s) of the author(s) and 9-point
type for the address(es) and the abstract. For the main text, please
use 10-point type and single-line spacing. We recommend the use
of Cambria or Garamond. Italic type may be used to emphasize
words in running text. Bold type and underlining should be
avoided.
Papers not complying with this style will be reformatted. This can
lead to an increase in the overall number of pages. We would
therefore urge you not to squash your paper.
Headings. 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. Words joined by a hyphen are
subject to a special rule. If the first word can stand alone, the
second word should be capitalized. The font sizes are given in Table
1.
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".

Table 1. Font sizes of headings. Table captions should always be


positioned above the tables.

Heading level Example Font size and


style
Title (centered) Title 14 point, bold
1st-level heading 1 Introduction 12 point, bold
2nd-level 2.1 Printing Area 10 point, bold
heading
3rd-level heading Headings. Text follows 10 point, bold

4th-level heading Remark. Text follows 10 point, italic

Lemmas, Propositions, and Theorems. The numbers accorded


to lemmas, propositions, and theorems, etc. should appear in
consecutive order, starting with Lemma 1, and not, for example,
with Lemma 11.

2.1 Figures

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 should have a resolution of at least 800 dpi (preferably
1200 dpi). The lettering in figures should have a height of 2 mm
(10-point type). Figures should be numbered and should have a
caption which should always be positioned under the figures, in
contrast to the caption belonging to a table, which should always
appear above the table. Please center the captions between the
margins and set them in 9-point type (Fig. 1 shows an example).
The distance between text and figure should be about 8 mm, the
distance between figure and caption about 6 mm.
To ensure that the reproduction of your illustrations is of a
reasonable quality, we advise against the use of shading. The
contrast should be as pronounced as possible.
If screenshots are necessary, please make sure that you are
happy with the print quality before you send the files.

Remark 1. In the printed volumes, illustrations are generally black


and white (halftones), and only in exceptional cases, and if the
author 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
legible in black and white. Some colors show up very poorly when
printed in black and white.

Fig. 1. One kernel at xs (dotted kernel) or two kernels at xi and xj (left and
right) lead to the same summed estimate at xs. This shows a figure
consisting of different types of lines. Elements of the figure described in
the caption should be set in italics, in parentheses, as shown in this sample
caption.
2.2 Footnotes

The superscript numeral used to refer to a footnote appears in the


text either directly after the word to be discussed or in relation to
a phrase or a sentence following the punctuation mark (comma,
semicolon, or period). Footnotes should appear at the bottom of the
normal text area, with a line of about 5cm set immediately above
them . 1

2.3 Citations

For citations in the text please use square brackets and consecutive
numbers: [1], [2], [3], etc.

2.4 Page Numbering and Running Heads

There is no need to include page numbers. 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.

3 The References Section

Please base your references on the examples below. You should


check your references thoroughly when you receive the final pdf of
your paper. The reference section must be complete. You may not
omit references. Instructions as to where to find a fuller version of
the references are not permissible.
We only accept references written using the latin alphabet. If the
title of the book you are referring to is in Russian or Chinese, then
please write (in Russian) or (in Chinese) at the end of the transcript
or translation of the title.
The following section shows a sample reference list with entries
for journal articles [1], an LNCS chapter [2], a book [3],
proceedings without editors [4] and [5], as well as a URL [6].
