Typesetting Requirements

Authors have to use a dedicated OASIcs LaTeX style to produce their submissions and final paper versions. The style file provides several features for authors:

  • titlepage environment,
  • abstract environment,
  • provision of ACM 1998 classification environment,
  • topical keywords.

The OASIcs LaTeX style templates are available at Opens external link in new windowhttp://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/oasics/oasics-authors.tgz.

These LaTeX style files for OASIcs require the usage of pdflatex. Please ensure that you have an up-to-date LaTeX environment available. The papers should be submitted by the authors using the oasics.cls LaTeX style available from Opens external link in new windowhttp://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/oasics/oasics-authors.tgz.

In order to improve the quality of the proceedings and to simplify the overall publication process, authors of submissions should follow the guidelines below:

  • Use pdflatex.
  • Use further LaTeX packages only if absolutely required.
  • Do not use a different main font. For example, usage of times-package is forbidden.
  • Provide full author names (especially with regard to the first name).
  • Fill out the \subjclass and \keywords macros. For the \subjclass, please refer to the Opens external link in new windowACM 1998 classification.
  • Take care of suitable linebreaks and pagebreaks. No overfull \hboxes should occur in the warnings log.
  • Provide suitable graphics of at least 300dpi (preferrably in pdf format).
  • Use the provided sectioning macros: \section, \subsection, \subsection*, \paragraph, ...
  • Keep the standard style (plain) for the bibliography as provided by the oasics.cls style file.
  • Use a spellchecker to get rid of typos.
  • For the abstract, only very simple LaTeX commands are allowed, e.g., $h_i$. LaTeX commands starting with a backslash "\" are not allowed. We suggest to avoid LaTeX commands in the abstract at all. In particular, the abstract must not contain complex LaTeX formulas or literature references. These rules are a prerequisite for a successful submission of accepted papers to indexing agencies like DBLP.
  • A manual for the LIPIcs style is available at Opens external link in new windowhttp://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/oasics/oasics-authors/oasics-manual.pdf.
