2. Registration Fee

Register for the conference by August 20th (Conference Registration - possibly with excess page charges). It is mandatory that at least one of the co-authors register for the conference before or at the time that the camera-ready paper is uploaded. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU COMPLY WITH THIS REQUIREMENT! If at least one of the co-authors is not registered by this date, your paper will not be included in the conference proceedings.

3. Page Charges

Full papers are limited to 12 pages. Note that 12 pages under LNCS format are much less than 12 pages under IEEE format, so be mindful of this when preparing your final manuscripts. You may buy up to two additional pages at a cost of U.S. $100 per page. If you wish to pay the excess page charge along with your registration fee, use the registration form. For separate Payment for excess page charges: pay online, or download form and mail/fax credit card payment or mail the check payment. All page charges must be sent to Finance Co-Chair by August 20th.

4. Format

See "LNCS's Authors' Instructions for the Preparation of Camera-Ready Contributions" for detailed instructions (typeinst.pdf) - this file also serves as a good visual template. You are strongly encouraged to use LATEX2ε for the preparation of your camera-ready manuscript together with the corresponding Springer class file llncs.cls (llncs2e.zip). If you are unable to use LATEX, you may use MS Word together with the template sv-lncs.dot (word.zip), or any other text processing system.
In particular, pay close attention to the following.

	Print Area
	The printing area is 122 mm X 193 mm, which shall be STRICTLY ENFORCED. Fill pages so that the length of the text is no less than 180 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.
	No Header/Footer
	Do not use any running header or page numbering.
	Abstract
	The abstract should contain at least 70 and at most 150 words.
	Figures
	In the printed proceedings, illustrations are black and white (halftones) - to ensure that the reproduction of your illustrations is of reasonable quality we advise against the use of shading. The contrast should be as pronounced as possible.
	Citations
	The reference list should be set in small print (8 point) and placed at the end of your contribution, in front of the appendix, if one exists. For citations in the text, use square brackets and consecutive numbers: [1], [2], [3] . . .
	Captions
	Do not in-line any figures or tables with text. Figures and tables should be centered. 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. Leave enough white space between figure/table and texts.
	Fonts
	For the main text (single column), use 10-point type and single-line spacing. Bold type and underlining should be avoided.
