Conference PhotosTSD 2010 Proceedings
The program committee members have put in a significant effort in order to provide useful feedback to the authors. Please find the comments on your paper included in the e-mail with your Notification of Acceptance. When preparing the final paper version, please take into account the referees' comments.
The proceedings of TSD 2010 will be published in the Springer's LNCS, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, LNAI subseries and will be available at the conference. Please read carefully Springer's instructions on preparing the manuscript before you submit the final version.
Paper Format
The authors are to write their papers in TeX or LaTeX formats. These formats are necessary for the final versions of the papers to be published in the Springer Lecture Notes. For detailed instructions on the final paper format see the Springer Information for LNCS Authors (for LaTeX example of a paper you may download directly the Springer sample file typeinst.zip with the LaTeX class llncs2e.zip, or it can be found as typeinst.tex at the Springer FTP server ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/instruct/authors.
Do not squash your paper by removing vertical spaces or changing font sizes, etc. The paper will be reformatted by editors and the final pdf will cover more pages than the original. You would risk your paper be truncated or rejected.
Four other very important points are:
- please make sure that there is only one set of source files and pdf files per paper. Any older versions of papers should on no account be sent on to us.
- please make sure that, if an author has several papers in one volume, he or she writes his name consistently. This is not only important for the Author Index of the volume, but also for the author himself/herself.
- please make sure that it is clear which of the authors' names are first names and which are surnames. This is particularly important for Chinese or Spanish names. The names appear as initial(s) plus surname(s) in the running heads and surname(s), first name(s) in the author index.
- authors using WORD compatible software for the final version must use the LNCS template for WORD and within the submit process ask the Proceedings Editors to convert the paper to LaTeX format. For this service a service-and-license fee of CZK 1500 will be levied automatically. When you are sending the Word or RTF file, you have to add PDF or PostScript (PS) version of your file, because installed software or fonts may differ and the result document may not be seen by the others the same way as you can see it.
Copyright Form
At least one author of each accepted paper must sign the copyright form (PDF), which is also located at the above mentioned Springer Information for LNCS Authors.
As a title of the book please fill in TSD 2010; the Volume Editors are Petr Sojka, Ales Horak, Ivan Kopecek and Karel Pala. Your signed copyright form must be sent to us, either by fax to +420-549-49-1820 or by snail mail (Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University, Petr Sojka, Botanicka 68a, 60200 Brno, Czech Republic), on or before May 31, 2010. May 31, 2010 is also the deadline for us to receive the final electronic files.
Authors Registration
One of the authors has to register and to pay the registration fee by
June 16 to be included in the conference proceedings. Only one paper
of up to 8 pages is included in the regular registration fee. The
additional paper and page charge is CZK 1000
Final Submission
The final submission of your paper (maximum length is 8 pages, being it presented orally or as poster) comprises of three parts:
- a completed and signed copyright form,
- electronic files of your paper:
- text files (latex, tex) and .eps files for the figures,
- the final DVI file (for papers prepared using LaTeX or TeX),
- the final PostScript file (not in reverse page order),
- if possible, the pdf file of the final version of your paper.
- registration of at least one author per paper.
Upload your electronic files to the conference submission system.
To avoid confusion, name all files in the following fashion: Use always 10 characters plus an extension (tsdNNNC.XXX). tsd is a fixed string. NNN is the paper id number assigned to you. To distinguish several files of the same type (e.g., EPS files) use characters a, b, c,... in the field C. XXX identifies the file type (tex, ps, etc.). For example, the files in a final submission could be named tsd009a.tex, tsd009a.dvi, tsd009a.ps, tsd009a.eps, tsd009b.eps, and tsd009c.eps.
It is required that you compress the files with zip format. Use tsdNNN as the base name for the compressed file (e.g., tsd009.zip).
