Detailed Instructions

Please carefully read the instructions below, and download the relevant files.

  1. Content requirements:
    • Title: Please use upper case letter for the first letter of each word in the title; for prepositions and conjunctions such as "for" and "and", do not apply this rule, use lower case letter for the first letter of such words instead.
    • Paper Length: Each regular conference paper can be a full paper (12-15 pages in the LNCS/CCIS one-colume page format) or a short paper (>6 pages). The copyright form will be scanned and sent together with the camera-ready paper by email. In order to restrict the size of the copyright form, it is requested to scan as a PDF file.
    • Keywords: Please provide 5-8 keywords for your paper. Please use a semicolon (";") to separate between two keywords. Please follow the formatting rule to use "upper case first letter" for each word as in the title, except for propositions and conjunctions and the like. Notice that the "Keywords" section should be formatted the same as the "Abstract" section; the "Keywords" section should NOT be formatted the same as the "Introduction" section.
    • Affiliations: Please use the following sample format (ZIP code right after the city name):
      Sample: Institute of Cyberspace Security, Zhejiang University of Technology, Hangzhou 310023, China
    • File Size: Avoid having large size figures. Please ensure that the total size of the package of files is less than 5MB, preferably less than 2MB.
    • First Page Footer: Avoid using any footer on the first page of the paper. Your funding support numbers and/or other information should appear in the "Acknowledgments" section.
    • Corresponding authors: If you want to point out who are corresponding author(s), please use a small envelope with superscript right after the person's name, and do not use "*" to denote corresponding authorship, and do not add "Corresponding Author" or similar text in the paper.

  2. We need the source files (LaTeX files with all the associated style files, special fonts and eps or bib files, or Word or rtf files) and the final PDF file of your camera-ready paper (final paper). There should be one set of source files and one PDF file per paper. Please strictly use the Latex Style files or WORD templates of Springer LNCS/CCIS (Attachment 1) when preparing your camera-ready paper. Notice that your final PDF file should NOT contain any page numbers. Also, notice that the final PDF file MUST exactly correspond to the final source files.

Please download a partially completed copyright form for the ICSC 2025 conference. Notice that we do not accept digital signatures, so please make sure that your Consent to Publish form will have been signed in ink. Please scan those two pages of the form and convert them to a PDF file. The file name can be "Consent to Publish form.pdf".
  4. Please indicate the name and e-mail address of the contact author who will check the proof of the paper in the text file named "additional information.txt" (Attachment 3). Approximately one to two weeks after the Volume Editors send all of the files to Springer, the authors are given the opportunity to check the final PDF files of their papers.
