LNCS format for General Tracks Papers and for Workshops which selected the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Proceedings.

Then the author has to submit the Full Paper (phase 2) in PDF format. The paper details are kept from the Abstract, so this process is quite easy and fast.
The submitted Paper will be submitted to the reviewing process.
The author is allowed to update the version of her/his Paper before the submission deadline.
