Abstract. The abstract {style abstract} is a mandatory element that should summarize the con-tents of the paper and should contain at least 70 words and at most 150 words.

Keywords: Please list your 3 - 5 keywords {style keywords} here. They should be separated by commas.

Introduction

You will find here the guidelines for the preparation of the 2th International Conference on Computing, Measurement, Control and Sensor Network (Second CMCSN) proceedings based on Springer-Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing (AISC). Your contribution has to be prepared using this Microsoft Word template. In essence, we ask you to make your paper look exactly like this document. The easiest way to do this is simply to replace the content with your own material.

Preparation of Your Paper

How to Start Writing a New Document Using the Template

If you have not yet started to write your paper, please open Windows Explorer, select the template file and click New in the file’s context menu to create a new document that is based on the template.

(Do not open the template out of Word via File→Open. You would edit the template instead of creating a new document that is based on the template.)

You can easily find out whether a new document has been created by looking at the window’s title: it should read ‘Document1’ (or Document2, Document3, etc.).

Maybe a security warning will pop up that asks you to activate the template’s macros. You need to click ‘Enable’ to load and enable the template’s custom toolbars. This security warning will pop up every time you open the document.

Save the document and name it with your name and a short form of the title (e.g., TitleOfMyPaper.doc).

Structuring Your Paper

Affiliations. The affiliated institutions {style address} are to be listed directly below the names of the authors {style author}. No academic titles or descriptions of academic positions should be included in the addresses. Either this information should be omitted altogether (preferably), or it should be included in a footnote at the end of the first page (to sign remarks pertaining to the title or the authors’ names symbols should be used (e.g. “*”) instead of a number). Multiple affiliations should be marked with superscript arabic numbers, and they should each start on a new line as shown in this document. In addition to the name of your affiliation, we would ask you to give the town and the country in which it is situated. If you prefer to include the entire postal address, then please feel free to do so. E-mail addresses {style e-mail} should start on a new line and should be grouped per affiliation.

Headings. Headings {style headings1..4} should be capitalized (i.e., nouns, verbs, and all other words except articles, prepositions, and conjunctions should be set with an initial capital). Words joined by a hyphen are subject to a special rule. If the first word can stand alone, the second word should be capitalized. Here are some examples of headings: “Criteria to Disprove Context-Freeness of Collage Languages”, “On Correcting the Intrusion of Tracing Non-deterministic Programs by Software”, “A User-Friendly and Extendable Data Distribution System”, “Multi-flip Networks: Parallelizing GenSAT”. Headings should, with the exception of the title {style title}, be aligned to the left. Only the first two levels of section headings should be numbered, as shown in Table 1 (this should be done automatically). The respective font sizes are also given in Table 1. Kindly refrain from using “0” when numbering your section headings.

Table 1. Font sizes of headings. Table captions should always be positioned above the tables. {style tablecaption}

Heading level	Example	Font size and style
Title (centered)	Lecture Notes	14 point, bold
1st-level heading	1 Introduction	12 point, bold
2nd-level heading	2.1 Printing Area	10 point, bold
3rd-level heading	Run-in Heading in Bold. Text follows	10 point, bold
4th-level heading	Lowest Level Heading. Text follows	10 point, italic

Normal Text. You should use the style standard – first paragraph (Times New Roman, font size 10) for the first paragraph in a chapter or after figures, tables, listings and formulas (without indentation) and the style standard for all following paragraphs within a chapter.

Lemmas, Propositions, and Theorems. The numbers accorded to lemmas, propositions, and theorems, etc. should appear in consecutive order, starting with Lemma 1. Please do not include section counters in the numbering like “Theorem 1.1”.

Figures and Tables

It is essential that all illustrations are as clear and as legible as possible. Vector graphics – instead of rasterized images – should be used for diagrams and schemas whenever possible. Please check that the lines in line drawings are not interrupted and have a constant width. Grids and details within the figures must be clearly legible and may not be written one on top of the other. Line drawings are to have a resolution of at least 800 dpi (preferably 1200 dpi). The lettering in figures and tables should not use font sizes smaller than 6 pt (~ 2 mm character height). Figures are to be numbered and to have a caption {style figurecaption} which should always be positioned under the figures. Tables are also to be numbered and to have a caption {style tablecaption}, but the caption should always appear above the table.

Captions are set in 9-point type. If they are short, they are centered between the margins (Fig. 1 shows an example). Longer captions, covering more than one line, are justified. Captions that do not constitute a full sentence, do not have a period.

Fig. 1. Artifacts empowered by Artificial Intelligence {style figurecaption}

Text fragments of fewer than four lines should not appear at the tops or bottoms of pages, following a table or figure. In such cases, it is better to set the figures right at the top or right at the bottom of the page. A figure should never be placed in the middle of a paragraph.

If screenshots are necessary, please make sure that the essential content is clear to the reader.

Remark 1. In the printed volume, illustrations are generally black and white (halftones). If you use colored figures that are to be printed in black and white, please make sure that they really are also legible in black and white. Some colors show up very poorly when printed in black and white.

Formulas

Displayed equations or formulas {style equation} are centered and set on a separate line (with an extra line or half line space above and below). Displayed expressions should be numbered for reference. The numbers should be consecutive within the contribution, with numbers enclosed in parentheses and set on the right margin. Please do not include section counters in the numbering.

x + y = z	(1)

Equations should be punctuated in the same way as ordinary text but with a small space before the end punctuation mark.

Footnotes

The superscript numeral used to refer to a footnote appears in the text either directly after the word to be discussed or – in relation to a phrase or a sentence – following the punctuation mark (comma, semicolon, or period). Please note that no footnotes may be included in the abstract.

Program Code

Program listings or program commands in the text are normally set in typewriter font {style programcode}:

program Inflation (Output)

{Assuming annual inflation rates of 7%, 8%, and 10%,... years};

const MaxYears = 10;

var Year: 0..MaxYears;

Factor1, Factor2, Factor3: Real;

begin

Year := 0;

Factor1 := 1.0; Factor2 := 1.0; Factor3 := 1.0;

WriteLn('Year 7% 8% 10%'); WriteLn;

repeat

Year := Year + 1;

...

until Year = MaxYears

end.

Other Styles

Besides the above mentioned styles there are more useable format specifications:

Listings {style bulletitem or dashitem}

Numeration {style numitem}

Reference {style referenceitem}

Subtitle {style subtitle}

Citations and Bibliography

Authors using software tools for managing bibliographies (like Endnote, Citavi) can apply the preconfigured style format Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

For citations in the text, of tables and figures authors have to use square brackets and consecutive numbers. Numbers should be grouped where appropriate. We would write [1-5] but [1], [3], [5], etc. The numbers in the bibliography section are without square brackets.

References should be published materials accessible to the public. Internal technical reports may be cited only if they are easily accessible (i.e. you can give the address to obtain the report within your citation) and may be obtained by any reader. Private communications should be acknowledged (e.g. with a footnote), not referenced. Please base your references on the examples given in the references section of these instructions and write all references using the latin alphabet. If the title of the book you are referring to is, e.g., in Russian or Chinese, then please write (in Russian) or (in Chinese) at the end of the transcript or translation of the title. Word may try to automatically ‘underline’ hotlinks in your references; the correct style is NO underlining. Please make sure that all your sources are correctly listed in the reference section.

The references section at the end of this paper shows a sample reference list with entries for journal articles [1], an LNCS chapter [2], a book [3], proceedings without editors [4] and [5], as well as URLs [6], [7].

Original Work

All papers submitted to the Second CMCSN need to contain original work and must not be published in or submitted to other conferences, workshops or journals before the official notification deadline of the Second CMCSN.
