Prospective authors should select the thematic track to which their paper is to be submitted. The papers should be prepared
according to the Springer LNCS format, with a maximum of 12 pages. Some thematic tracks (see each track
specific page) may accept short papers (max 6 pages). Submitted papers will be subject to a doubleblind
review process and will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the respective track Program
Committee. It is the responsibility of the authors to remove names and affiliations from the submitted papers, and
to take reasonable care to assure anonymity during the review process.
Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or
for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their
papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper,
must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should
match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes
relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.
