Authors should consult Springer's authors' guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs (https://goo.gl/hbsa4D) in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the 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.

Post-editing

:
After Springer has copy-edited your paper, they may send an email to the primary contact author with a 72-hour window to allow the detection of any editorial/formatting mistakes introduced by Springer. We cannot predict when this 72 hour window will be. Consequently, please make sure that the contact authors of your paper check their email regularly between October 22 and the conference.
