Abstract. The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper and should
contain at least 70 and at most 150 words. It should be set in 9-point font size
and should be inset 1.0 cm from the right and left margins. There should be two
blank (10-point) lines before and after the abstract.
Keywords: computer science, information systems, Word, typesetting.
1. Introduction
These instructions and the corresponding MS Word document template are based on
the corresponding Springer instructions and MS Word document template for
preparing camera ready papers to be published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in
Computer Science.
The preparation of manuscripts which are to be reproduced by photo-offset requires
special care. Papers submitted in a technically unsuitable form will be returned for
retyping, or canceled if the volume cannot otherwise be finished on time.
2. Manuscript Preparation
You are encouraged to use MS Word for the preparation of your camera-ready
manuscript together with the corresponding template ComSISTemplate2.dot (see
Sect. 3), and send us the resulting MS Word file. Please follow these instructions
closely in order to make the volume look as uniform as possible. Please also send a
corresponding pdf file matching exactly your MS Word file.

We would like to stress that the template should not be manipulated and that the
guidelines regarding font sizes and format should be adhered to. This is to ensure that
the end product is as homogeneous as possible.
2.1. Printing Area
The printing area is 125mm × 197mm. The text should be justified to occupy the full
line width, so that the right margin is not ragged, with words hyphenated as
appropriate. Please fill pages so that the length of the text is no less than 180mm.
2.2. Layout, Typeface, Font Sizes, and Numbering
Use Times fonts for all text formatting. Use 10-point type for the name(s) of the
author(s) and 9-point type for the address(es) and the abstract. For the main text,
please use 10-point type and single-line spacing. Italic type may be used to emphasize
words in running text. Bold type and underlining should be avoided. With these sizes,
the interline distance should be set so that some 45 lines occur on a full-text page.
Headings. Headings should be capitalized (i.e., nouns, verbs, and all other words
except articles, prepositions, and conjunctions should be set with an initial capital) and
should, with the exception of the title, be aligned to the left. Words joined by a
hyphen are subject to a special rule. If the first word can stand alone, the second word
should be capitalized. The font sizes are given in Table 1.
Table 1. Font sizes of headings. Table captions should always be positioned above the tables.
Tables should be horizontally centered. The final sentence of a table caption should end
without a period
Heading level Example Font size and style
Title (centered) Authors’ Instructions ... 14 point, bold
1st-level heading 1. Introduction 12 point, bold
2nd-level heading 2.1. Printing Area 10 point, bold
3rd-level heading Headings. Text follows ... 10 point, bold
4th-level heading Remark. Text follows ... 10 point, italic
Here are some examples of headings: "Criteria to Disprove Context-Freeness of
Collage Languages", "On Correcting the Intrusion of Tracing Non-deterministic
Programs by Software", "A User-Friendly and Extendable Data Distribution System",
"Multi-flip Networks: Parallelizing GenSAT", "Self-determinations of Man".

Authors’ Instructions 3
Lemmas, Propositions, and Theorems. The numbers accorded to lemmas,
propositions, and theorems etc. should appear in consecutive order, starting with the
number 1, and not, for example, with the number 11.
2.3. Figures and Photographs
Please produce your figures electronically, if possible, and integrate them into your
text file. If you use MS Word, please use "In Line with Text" wrapping style for
integrating figures into text. Format the paragraphs containing figures using the Figure
style provided in the ComSISTemplate2.dot template, and make sure that the figures
are horizontally centered.
Check that in line drawings, lines are not interrupted and have constant width.
Grids and details within the figures must be clearly readable and may not be written
one on top of the other. Line drawings should have a resolution of at least 800 dpi
(preferably 1200 dpi). For digital halftones 300 dpi is usually sufficient. The lettering
in figures should have a height of 2mm (10-point type). Figures should be scaled up or
down accordingly. Please do not use any absolute coordinates in figures. If possible,
the files of figures (e.g. PS files) should not contain binary data, but be saved in ASCII
format.
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. The final sentence of a caption, be it for a table
or a figure, should end without a period. Please center the captions between the
margins and set them in 9-point type (Fig. 1 shows an example). The distance between
text and figure should be about 8mm, the distance between figure and caption about
5mm.
Remark 1. In the printed volumes, illustrations are generally black and white
(halftones), and only in exceptional cases, and if the author is prepared to cover the
extra cost for color reproduction, are color pictures accepted. If color illustrations are
necessary, please send us color-separated files if possible. Color pictures are welcome
in the electronic version at no additional cost.
Remark 2. 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. This particularly applies for screenshots.
2.4. Formulas
Displayed equations or formulas are centered and set on a separate line (with an extra
line or halfline space above and below). Displayed expressions should be numbered
for reference. The numbers should be consecutive within each section or within the
contribution, with numbers enclosed in parentheses and set on the right margin. For
example,
