Finalizing and Submitting the Publication ready Manuscript
The corresponding author of the paper must submit the final draft of the paper, on or before the published deadline.
Corresponding authors are encouraged to complete a thorough review of the paper before the final submission deadline.
Please format your final paper by using the LNCS templates. Final papers are submitted through Springer OCS system. Your final submission must include the following items:
- A camera-ready version of your paper in PDF format;
- The source files of your paper, including figures, references, and Latex/Words files;
This will be the final opportunity to make any changes, adjustments, or acknowledgments. Requests to update, edit, change, or add information to the paper will not be accommodated after the final submission deadline.
The final version is expected to correspond in length and contents to your accepted submission, except for parts that might be added or modified to address the reviewers’ comments. It is considered unethical to shorten or otherwise alter the final version in ways that make it significantly different than what was reviewed and accepted.
