Preparation steps
-
Please take carefully into account the suggestions of the reviewers and make the necessary modifications to your paper.
- Follow the technical instructions (described in the next column); prepare your bibliography using BibTex together with the style splncs_srt.bst provided by Springer.
- There is a strict limit of 12 pages for regular contributions. This limit can not be surpassed in any case. The invited papers can exceed this limit, recommended sizes would be: 18 pages for lectures and 24 pages for tutorials.
- Fill in the copyright form (pdf, 60kB). It is sufficient for one of the authors to sign the copyright form.
- Pack your working files (tex file(s), pictures, splncs_srt.bst, a bibliography (.bib) file) into a zip archive.
- Click here to submit your files using your EasyChair author account; follow the
instructions after login for uploading three files:
- a zip archive with your source files,
- a pdf version of your paper,
- the signed copyright form.
- After submitting the files, EasyChair gives some messages. ONLY ONE warning message is allowed:
Package amsmath Warning: Unable to redefine math accent \vec.
The rest of warnings or errors should be solved by the authors making the appropriate corrections. Pay a special attention to overfull boxes!
- At least one author per paper should register. Papers that do not have a registered author who paid the fees by next December 5, 2011 will be excluded from the proceedings. This will be strictly enforced. Follow the updated directions about the registration and payment procedure at LATA 2012 registration page. Please notice that those who will register as students will need to show the proof of their status (student ID or university certificate) at the beginning of the conference.
Do's and Don'ts
- Use
\documentclass[runningheads, envcountsame, a4paper] and only these options; some packages modify paper to letter if a4 is not specified.
- For Acknowledge please use \section*.
- Use Algorithm2e for listings of algorithms.
- Use as few .tex files as possible, a single file is best, name it main.tex, it helps the assembling task.
- In \authors use \and as separator between authors names.
- Use \toctitle and \tocauthors, they
are important fields defining your paper in the proceedings Table Of Contents.
- For \tocauthors use ~ between first name and name to avoid a break line inside author's names.
- Use \fnmsep (i.e. footnote mark separator) to separate \thanks by \inst.
- British authors should use UK to avoid too many variations such as U.K. or England.
