\section{Instruction for authors}

Participants of the Linz Seminar are strongly encouraged to submit their contributions in Latex. You may use the Latex source file of this text as a pattern.

We use the {\tt llncs} document class; the file {\tt llncs.cls} can be downloaded from our webpage. The page style is ``{\tt empty}''. The title section is made with the commands {\tt \textbackslash title}, {\tt \textbackslash author}, and {\tt \textbackslash institution}; cf.\ the source file.

When preparing your abstract, you are kindly requested to take into account the following points:

\begin{itemize}

\item Please include additional packages only if you really need them.

\item Please restrict self-written macros to the necessary minimum. In particular, include only those macros that you actually use.

\item Please include comments into your file only if you think they are useful for us. Otherwise please delete all parts not needed for compilation.

\item Graphics can be included with a command like:
%
\begin{verbatim}
\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{Figure.pdf}
\end{verbatim}
%
The format is preferably pdf, but it can also be one of png or jpg. The format ps is not possible and please avoid eps.

\item Apart from files containing figures, please submit only one source file (together with a corresponding compiled pdf file). If you use bibtex, please copy your references, i.e., your bbl-file, into the main file.

\end{itemize}

\section{Hints for newcomers of Latex}

If you are new to Latex, you may find information on it, e.g., at the following places:

\begin{itemize}

\item the very basics: http://www.aps.org/meetings/abstract/latex.cfm;

\item a short introduction: ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/doc/amsmath/short-math-guide.pdf;

\item a detailed introduction: http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~dwilkins/LaTeXPrimer.

\end{itemize}

\section{Submission of your contribution}

The submission of abstracts of a proposed talk for the Linz Seminar is managed through the online conference paper management system {\bf EasyChair}:

\begin{itemize}

\item Visit {\tt https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=linz2016}.

\item If you have not yet used EasyChair before, please sign up for an account. Note that this account will be valid for subsequent conferences as well.

\item Log in with your user name and password.

\item Upload the Latex source file of your abstract and, if applicable, the files of figures. Please provide a pdf version as well.

\item In case that you would like to update your contribution, simply log in to EasyChair again and replace your submission with a new version.

\end{itemize}
