The final paper should be prepared according to the file templates provided by the publisher, that can be found at Springer-Verlag LNCS Authors' Instructions page.

The paper should be then submitted to the Volume Editor (Fabrizio Grandoni see below), together with your own single-sided printout of the final version of your contribution (which cannot be modified at a later stage), your source (input) files, e.g. TEX files for the text and PS or EPS files for figures, the final DVI file (for papers prepared using LaTeX orTeX), the final PS file, and, if possible, a PDF file of the final version of your contribution. If you have prepared your paper using a text processing system other than LaTeX or TeX, please also submit RTF files. Make sure that the text is identical in all cases. When generating the PS file please avoid using the option "reverse order ". Further details on the paper preparation can be found on the Springer-Verlag web page above.

Source files should be sent in electronic version (possibly zipped), as email attachments, to <grandoni@iei.pi.cnr.it > ; the paper printout, together with the signed copyright form found at <http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/copyright.html>, should be sent by courier to the Volume Editor's address:
