• Please make sure that a contact author is registered in OCS! We assume that the contact author registered in OCS is responsible for the final version and has the responsibility to check the proof of the paper. Should this person not be available for checking the proof and answering questions regarding the paper, please mark a second author as additional contact person in OCS or notify us (info@adhocnow.net) and name an alternative contact person.

Please make sure that all co-authors are registered with the correct representation of their names in OCS so that we can clearly distinguish first names (given names) from last names (family names). This is particularly important for Chinese or Spanish names, cf. section "3.3 Correct Representation of Author Names" in the author guidelines. LNCS Editorial assumes that all authors have used the western naming convention, with given names preceding surnames. This determines the structure of the names in the running heads and the author index. In case of doubt we refer to the information given in OCS.
