Abstract.The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper and shouldcontain at least 70 and max at most 150 words. It should be set in 9-point fontsize and should be inset 1.0 cm from the right and left margins. There shouldbe two blank (10-point) lines before and after the abstract.

1 Introduction

The extended abstract has be no longer than 2-3 pages and should include limited(1-2) number of graphics objects i.e. figures, tables, lists, program code or formula

etc.Extended abstracts submittedin a technically unsuitable form will be returned

for retyping, or canceled if the proceedings volume cannot otherwise be finished ontime. The templates for full LNCS papers and their documentation can bedownloaded from the LNCS Web page athttp://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.Please submit the final extended abstract version your contribution (which cannot bemodified at a later stage) in PDF file format. Note that, this template was adapted

from a Springers original that was designed for fully sized LNCS manuscripts.

2 Manuscript Preparation

You may use MS Word or any other text processing system. In the latter case,please follow these instructions closely in order to make the volume look as uniformas possible. We would like to stress that the class/style files and the template should

not be manipulated and that the guidelines regarding font sizes and format should beadhered to. This is to ensure that the end product is as homogeneous as possible.

2.1 Printing Area, Layout, Typeface, Font Sizes, and Numbering

The printing area is 122 mm 193 mm. The text should be justified to occupy thefull line width, so that the right margin is not ragged, with words hyphenated asappropriate. Please fill pages so that the length of the text is no less than 180 mm.Use 10-point type for the name(s) of the author(s) and 9-point type for theaddress(es) and the abstract. For the main text, please use 10-point type and single-line spacing. We recommend using Computer Modern Roman fonts, Times, or asimilar typefaces widely used in photo-typesetting. (In these typefaces the letters

have serifs, i.e., short end-strokes at the head and the foot of letters.) Italic type maybe used to emphasize words in running text. Bold type and underlining should beavoided. With these sizes, the interline distance should be set so that ~ 45 lines occuron a full-text page.

Headings: should be capitalized (i.e., nouns, verbs, and all other words exceptarticles, prepositions, and conjunctions should be set with an initial capital) andshould, with the exception of the title, be aligned to the left. Words joined by ahyphen are subject to a special rule. If the first word can stand alone, the secondword should be capitalized. Here are some examples of headings: "Criteria toDisprove Context-Freeness of Collage Languages", "Multi-flip Networks:Parallelizing GenSAT", "Self-determinations of Man". The numbers accorded tolemmas, propositions, etc. should appear in consecutive order starting with 1.

2.3 Figures and Photographs

Please produce your figures electronically, if possible, and integrate them into yourtext file. Check that in line drawings, lines are not interrupted and have constantwidth. Grids and details within the figures must be clearly readable and may not bewritten one on top of the other. Line drawings should have a resolution of at least 800dpi (preferably 1200 dpi). For digital halftones 300 dpi is usually sufficient.

Fig. 1.One kernel atxs(dotted kernel) or two kernels atxiandxj(left and right) lead to the

same summed estimate at xs. This shows a figure consisting of different types of lines.

Elements of the figure described in the caption should be set in italics, in parentheses, asshown in this sample caption. The last sentence of a figure caption should generally endwithout a period

2.6 Footnotes and Citations

The superscript numeral used to refer to a footnote appears in the text either directlyafter the word to be discussed or in relation to a phrase or a sentence followingthe punctuation sign (comma, semicolon, or period). Footnotes should appear at thebottom of the normal text area, with a line of about 2cm in TeX and about 5cm inWord set immediately above them.1The list of references is headed References andis not assigned a number in the decimal system of headings. The list should be set insmall print and placed at the end of your contribution, in front of the appendix, if oneexists. Please do not insert a page-break before the list of references if the page is notcompletely filled. An example is given at the end of this information sheet. For

citations in the text please use square brackets and consecutive numbers: [1], [2],[3],

2.8 Page Numbering, Running Heads, Printing Quality

Your paper should show no printed page numbers; these are allocated by the volumeeditor. Please indicate the ordering of your pages by numbering the sheets in pencil atthe bottom of the reverse side. Do not set running heads. For reproduction we needsheets which are printed on one side only. Please use a high-resolution printer,preferably a laser printer with at least 300 dpi. We prefer the text to be centered onthe pages (i.e., equal margins left and right and top and bottom). The format of thepaper (A4) is relevant.
