Instructions and Checklist for Authors |
| |
|
HiPC 2008 proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) - see Information for LNCS Authors . 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.
Deadline for all of the following items, including copyright form, author registration and receipt of excess page charges, is August 18, 2008. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
1. Copyright Form |
| |
|
Email singed LNCS copyright form to [email protected] (preferred) or fax to (404)413-5717. |
| |
|
|

|
2. Registration Fee |
| |
|
For your paper to be included in the conference proceedings, it is mandatory that at least one of the co-authors is registered by the submission deadline. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
3. Excess Page Charges |
| |
|
You may buy up to two (2) additional pages in the proceedings for your paper at a cost of $100/ Rs.4000 per page. Please note that these charges are in addition to conference registration and may be paid at the same time you register (see the registration form for details). Participants currently residing in India may pay in Indian Rupees, except when payment is made by credit card (see regular registration). Payments for excess page charges must be made by August 18th, the
deadline for registration of at least one author of accepted papers. |

4. Format and Upload |
| |
|
Please read and closely follow LNCS Authors Instruction for the Preparation of Camera-ready Contributions. You are strongly encouraged to use LATEX2ε for the preparation of your camera-ready manuscript together with the corresponding Springer class file llncs.cls in llncs2e.zip and latex source sample in typeinst.zip. If you are unable to use LATEX, you may use MS Word together with the template sv-lncs and the sample file typeinst in word.zip.

|
The common formatting mistakes which have prompted us asking for resubmissions (causing delays of several days, often too close to the deadline) are related to the following. |
| |
|
| |
Print Area, Spacing, Font and Citations |
| |
The printing area is STRICTLY 122 mm × 193 mm. Leave enough spaces between header and text, and between figure/table, its caption, and the text before and after. The main text is single column, 10-point type and single-spaced, with no header/footer or page numbering. The reference list is 8-point type (small) and citations use square brackets and consecutive numbers: [1], [2], [3].
|
| |
Figures, Tables and Captions |
| |
Ensure that colors print legibly in black-and-white and that your plots can be contrasted. Avoid shading. Set captions in 9 points, and text/labels in figure in 10 points. Figures and tables are centered. Captions are positioned under the figures and above the table. Do not in-line any figures or tables with text.
|
| |
