  • files: from xxx_hscc2007.tex to 098_hscc2007.tex (the same holds for *.dvi, *.ps, *.pdf, *.aux, *.bib, *.bbl, *.blg, *.log, ...);
  • folder: from xxx_hscc2007 to 098_hscc2007.

4. Do not change and do not rename by any means the LNCS class-files: llncs.cls, splncs.bst. Other LaTeX2e classes or style files will not be included. If you have to define commands or other in LaTeX2e: use the specified area in the main LaTeX2e template `xxx_hscc2007.tex'.

5. Put all your figures as EPS-files into the folder `figures'.
Other picture or figure formats (*.jpg, *.gif, etc.) will not be supported.

6. Produce a (good quality) PDF file.

7. The complete folder `xxx_hscc2007' must be compressed in one of the following compression formats: *.zip, *.rar, *.tar.gz.

8. Upload here the compressed folder and PDF file (and optionally the copyright form) by using the access information sent in the acceptance letter.
