Chapter 1

Paper Title

Full name 1, Full name 2 and Full name 3

Abstract Each chapter should be preceded by an abstract (10–15 lines long) that summarizes the content. The abstract will appear online at www.SpringerLink.com and be available with unrestricted access. This allows unregistered users to read the abstract as a teaser for the complete chapter. As a general rule the abstracts will not appear in the printed version of your book unless it is the style of your particular book or that of the series to which your book belongs.

Keywords  Supplier selection, Uncertain variable, Uncertain programming, Ge- netic algorithm

1. Introduction

We ask that authors follow these basic guidelines when submitting. In essence, you should format your paper exactly like this document. The template file contains specially formatted styles (e.g., Normal, Heading, Bullet, References, Title, Author, Affiliation) that are designed to reduce the work in formatting your final submission. Please note that this Word template is provided for writing and formatting reference only. After the final manuscript is submitted, the conference organizers will typeset the paper according to the LaTeX template and submit the typeset version to Springer; therefore, the final typesetting will follow the LaTeX template output as the standard.

DOI: XXXXXXXXXX

Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2026

2. Page Size and Spacing

On each page, the page size should be standardized with a height of 27.94 cm and a width of 21.59 cm, with top and bottom margins set at 3.38 cm and 5.46cm respectively, and left and right margins set at 4.75cm and 5.14cm respectively.

Please ensure your manuscript complies with the following instructions:

l Line spacing should be single (exactly 1.0-1.1);

l Do not change character or word spacing;

l Please do not use double spaces between sentences - this is a tradition no longer necessary on modern word processors;

l Please do not edit the styles in this template.

3. Title

Your paper’s title should be using the “Title” style in this template (which is configured as Times New Roman 15.5-point bold). Ensure proper capitalization within your title (i.e. “The Next Frontier of Information Systems” versus “the next frontier of Information systems.”

All proper nouns should be capitalized. Articles (the, a), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, for, nor, etc.) should not be capitalized, unless, of course, they are used as the first word in the title. Likewise for prepositions (on, at, to, from, by, etc.).

4. Normal or Body Text

Please use 9.5-point Times New Roman font for the main text.

5. Sections

Instead of simply listing headings of different levels we recommend to let every heading be followed by at least a short passage of text. Section headings should be formatted in 11.5-point Times New Roman bold, aligned to the left, and numbered sequentially.

5.1 Subsections

Subsection headings should be set in 11.5-point Times New Roman bold and italics, with the first letter of each word capitalized. (Note: For subsections and sub-subsections, words such as "the", "of", "a", "an" do not need to be capitalized unless they are the first word of the heading.)

5.1.1 Sub-subsection

Sub-subsection headings should be set in 9.5-point Times New Roman bold, with the first letter of each word capitalized. Do not extend the heading structure beyond this level.

6. Figures, Tables & Equations

Place figures and tables close to the relevant text (or where they are referenced in the text).

Captions should be set in 10-point Times New Roman bold. They should be numbered (e.g., “Table 1.1” or “Fig. 2.1”), centered and placed beneath the figure or table.

6.1 Inserting Images

Occasionally MS Word generates larger-than-necessary PDF files when images inserted into the document are manipulated in MS Word. To minimize this problem, use an image editing tool to resize the image at the appropriate printing resolution (usually 300 dpi), and then insert the image into Word using Insert | Picture | From File...

As indicated in Fig. 1.1, using tables to hold places can work very well in Word. If you want to copy a figure from another application (such as PowerPoint) and then paste to the place where you want your figure to be, make sure that (1) the figure stays in the position, and (2) it does not take up too much space. You can ensure the former by double clicking the figure, then go to “Layout” tab, and select “In line with text.” To ensure the latter, use “Paste Special,” then select “Picture.” You can resize the figure to your desired size once it is pasted.

6.2 Table Style

Inserting a table in the text can work well. You may want to adjust the vertical spacing of the text in the tables. (In Word, use Format | Paragraph… and then the Line and Page Breaks tab. Generally, text in each field of a table will look better if it has equal amounts of spacing above and below it, as in Table 1.)

Table 1.1  Please write your table caption here

6.3 Equation Style

In the main text, equations should be typeset using Word’s Equation Editor and numbered consecutively within each chapter (e.g., (1.1), (1.2)), with the equation number placed on the right-hand side and available for cross-referencing. Variables appearing in an equation for the first time should be explained in the text immediately following the equation, including their meaning and physical units (dimensions). Definitions, theorems, model assumptions, and research hypotheses should begin with clear labels and follow a consistent numbering scheme (e.g., Definition 1.1, Theorem 1.1, Assumption 1.1, Hypothesis 1).

7. Language, Style, and Content

With regard to spelling and punctuation, you may use any dialect of English (e.g., British, Canadian, US, etc.) provided this is done consistently. Hyphenation is optional. To ensure suitability for an international audience, please pay attention to the following:

l Write in a straightforward style.

l Try to avoid long or complex sentence structures.

l Briefly define or explain all technical terms that may be unfamiliar to readers.

l Explain all acronyms the first time they are used in your text – e.g., “primary care provider (PCP)”.

l Explain local references (e.g., not everyone knows all city names in a particular country).

8. Conclusion

It is important that you write for a general audience. It is also important that your work is presented in a professional fashion. This guideline is intended to help you achieve that goal. By adhering to the guideline, you also help the conference organizers tremendously in reducing our workload and ensuring impressive presentation of your conference paper. We thank you very much for your cooperation and look forward to receiving a professional looking, camera-ready version!

Appendix

When placed at the end of a chapter or contribution (as opposed to at the end of the book), the numbering of tables, figures, and equations in the appendix section continues on from that in the main text. If there is only one the appendix is designated “Appendix”, or “Appendix 1”, or “Appendix 2”, etc. if there is more than one.

References

References should be listed alphabetically by author name at the end of the paper in conformance with APA 7th edition. In-text citations should be indicated by the author’s last name and year of publication, e.g., DeGross (1977). References must be complete, i.e., include, as appropriate, volume, number, month, publisher, city and state, editors, last name & initials of all authors, page numbers, etc.

Your references should comprise only published materials accessible to the public. Proprietary information may not be cited.

References should be ordered in alphabetic order. Please ensure that all references are cited in the main text using the bracketed numerical format, e.g., [1], [2], [3]. If a reference is written in Chinese, please add “(in Chinese)” at the end of the corresponding reference entry.
