Please use Microsoft Word or LaTeX to create your document. It is strongly suggested to use the templates that incorporate the correct formatting specifications.

Page Limit Notice

Ensure that the paper adheres to the specified page limit of maximum 5 pages for one paper. Very short papers (of fewer than 4 pages) may be moved to the back matter. Such papers will neither be available for indexing nor visible as individual papers on SpringerLink. They will, however, be listed in the Table of Contents.

Authors should consult Springer's authors' guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers.

Authors are strongly encouraged to use Springer AISC manuscript submission guidelines (available here) for the initial submissions. All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF and DOC format in the Springer AISC style.

Although we accept submissions in the form of PDF and DOC files, you are strongly encouraged to generate a PDF version for your paper before submitting it.
