Formatting Guidelines

All authors of full papers are kindly asked to follow the LNCS Author Formatting Guidelines from Springer for the preparation of their manuscripts. The Author Guidelines document summarizes how a proceedings paper should be structured, how elements (headings, figures, references) should be formatted using predefined styles, etc. It also gives some insight on how a paper will be typeset at Springer.

• Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers.

Copyright Form

The corresponding author of each full paper, acting on behalf of all authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper.

Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.

Fill out and sign the Copyright Form using the following information:

• Title of the proceedings volume should be set as follows: Database Engineered Applications.
• The field “Volume Editor” should be set as follows: Giacomo Bergami, Paul Ezhilchelvan, Yannis Manolopoulos, Sergio Ilarri, Peter Z. Revesz, Jorge Bernardino, Carson K. Leung.
• One author may sign on behalf of all authors of a particular paper. In this case, the author signs for and accepts responsibility for releasing the material on behalf of all co-authors.
• Modified forms are not acceptable.
• The “Title of the Contribution” (i.e., paper title) and the List of Authors should match exactly the title and the list of authors of the paper.
