"name": "cav-camera-ready",
"description": "Use when preparing an accepted CAV (Computer Aided Verification) paper for its Springer LNCS open-access camera-ready, covering de-anonymization for the previously double-blind categories, the LNCS llncs template and Springer metadata (ORCID, author order, running heads), the copyright\/open-access forms, integrating reviewer-required changes without scope creep, permanentizing artifact links, and the AEC badge handoff."

CAV Camera Ready
Use this after acceptance. CAV papers are published open access as Springer LNCS chapters, so the camera-ready is a Springer production step with its own metadata and rights forms. Reopen the current LNCS author instructions, the decision email, and the artifact-track page before advising.
Camera-ready audit
- De-anonymize (Regular and Application papers): restore the author block, affiliations, acknowledgements, funding, and the real tool/solver and repository names that double-blind review forced you to hide. (Tool and Industrial papers were never anonymized.)
- Apply the final LNCS format: the
llncsdocument class, within the category page allowance and any camera-ready extension the acceptance letter grants, with correct running heads and the Springer copyright line. - Complete Springer LNCS metadata: title/abstract, author order and ORCIDs, corresponding author, affiliations, and keywords — entered in the Springer system and matching the PDF exactly. Metadata errors are harder to fix after the volume is published than formatting ones.
- Integrate reviewer-required changes faithfully — the scoping edits and added clarifications the reviews and rebuttal committed to — without strengthening claims beyond what was evaluated.
- Permanentize the artifact/open-science links: replace any anonymized artifact link with a public, licensed, DOI-issuing archive, and make the paper's availability statement point at it.
- Complete the open-access / copyright forms: CAV proceedings are open access, so confirm the correct license and the open-access consent/rights form for the volume.
De-anonymization sweep (anonymized categories)
| Anonymized at submission | Restore at camera-ready | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Author block, affiliations, ORCID | Full, correctly ordered | Wrong author order breaks the LNCS citation and DOI metadata |
| Tool / solver / prover name | Real name throughout text, figures, artifact | A leftover anonymized name in a caption or a benchmark path |
| Acknowledgements, funding | Restored | Grant numbers required by funders |
| Self-citations (third person) | Natural first-person where it aids clarity | Over-correcting and double-citing |
| Artifact / repository link | Public archive DOI + tool homepage | The old anonymized URL surviving in a footnote |
LNCS production checks
[Template] llncs document class, current revision; correct running heads; no manual margin edits
[Metadata] title, abstract, authors+ORCID, affiliations, corresponding author, keywords entered
in the Springer system and matching the PDF
[References] complete, consistent; DOIs where available; venue strings correct (do not misattribute
a TACAS/FMCAD paper to CAV)
[Figures] vector where possible; cactus/scatter plots readable in print; captions self-contained
[Rights] Springer open-access consent-to-publish / copyright form completed for the volume
[Links] every artifact and availability link resolves from a logged-out browser
Worked example: integrating a rebuttal commitment
The reviews required scoping the generality claim to the supported theory and moving a lemma's full proof into the paper. Camera-ready move: narrow the claim sentence to the theory actually covered, promote the lemma proof from the appendix into the correctness section (space permitting) or keep it clearly in the appendix with a body pointer, restore the real tool name in the benchmark tables, and point the availability statement at the now-public DOI archive — without expanding the claim the PC accepted.
Artifact-badge handoff
The camera-ready and the AEC evaluation are separate deadlines, and the badge outcome may arrive after the camera-ready is due. Do not block the paper on the badge; but make the paper's availability statement consistent with the badges you are pursuing (Available at minimum; Functional/Reusable if granted), and add any badge acknowledgement only per the current LNCS/AEC instructions.
Hedged logistics
- Page allowances, metadata fields, the open-access rights mechanics, and exact camera-ready dates change each cycle; confirm against the decision email and current Springer LNCS instructions rather than a prior year (camera-ready date for 2026 is 待核实).
Output format
[Camera-ready status] ready / needs fixes / blocked
[De-anonymization] author block / tool name / acks / links restored (if applicable)? yes/no
[LNCS metadata] ORCID / author order / affiliations / keywords / rights form complete? yes/no
[Reviewer-change map] <required change -> final edit, no scope creep>
[Open science] anonymized links replaced by DOI archive? availability statement updated? yes/no
[Remaining owner] <person -> task>
