	The proceedings of the workshops \emph{Bildverarbeitung für die Medizin} are published in a unified form electronically and as bound proceedings. \LaTeX\ serves as the base for both types of publication. The template of this PDF can be used as a template, all files can be obtained from the pages of the workshop. In order to be able to guarantee a unified appearance and a smooth process, we ask you to comply with the specifications described here. If necessary, submission in MS Word format is possible, however, and extra fee is charged for this.
\end{abstract}


\section{Introduction}

The publication of the contributions to the annual workshops
\emph{Bildverarbeitung für die Medizin  $\cdot$ Algorithmen, Systeme, Anwendungen}
(BVM) is planned in two respects.
In addition to the printed volume, which will be made available in print-on-demand,
the contributions are also made available individually in electronic form by the publisher.


In order for your paper to be accepted for publication
it is essential that the guidelines outlined in this document are followed.
This document complies with the guidelines and should serve as a template for your own paper.


All manuscripts will be fully electronically combined in \LaTeX\ to form the proceedings volume and then submitted to Springer-Verlag. As an author of a paper you support yourself and us by submitting your paper directly in \LaTeX. Be sure to use the \LaTeX\ template provided by us for this purpose. The use of MS Word and other programs should only be considered as an emergency solution.
For a smooth workflow, we recommend editing your paper using a \LaTeX\ editor such as TeXstudio or TeXworks in a current version. Alternatively, corresponding plugins are also available for most well-known development environments.
Make sure that all files are in UTF-8 character encoding to avoid display problems.


\section{General information}
\subsection{Fees}
\label{0000-sec-payment}
%
Detailed information on the amount and composition of fees is available at\linebreak\url{http://www.bvm-workshop.org/registrierung/}.
Extra pages and conversions of MS Word submissions by the BVM team are subject to a fee and must be paid separately by the authors at 270.00\ts € each including VAT.
The fees are additive.
As the author, you must ensure that all fees are received in a timely manner on the BVM Workshop account.

\subsection{Author contract}
On the homepage of the BVM website you will find the author contract under the author guidelines. Please download it and fill in the dark fields [] accordingly. Please use the naming convention \texttt{„0000-BVM-Autorenvertrag.pdf“} .Once you have done this, create a signed PDF file and upload it.

\subsection{Scope of your paper}

All papers at the workshop, whether presented as a talk, poster, or system demonstration, may be a maximum of 6 pages based on the layout provided here. Short articles must not exceed one page.
Please do not change the formatting of this template, but shorten your text or reduce the size of illustrations to comply with this limit.
Additional pages are subject to a fee (270.00\ts € incl. VAT per page) and will be invoiced to the authors.

Please note that all fees (Sec.~\ref{0000-sec-payment}) must be paid promptly upon invoicing at the beginning of the year in order for your paper to be included in the Proceedings. The decisive factor here is the length of the paper after editorial revision, not that of the submission. So, if you want to avoid shortening the text or reducing the size of your illustrations, please do not try to \elqq trick\erqq \ your way around the style guidelines, but write the text -- like all other authors -- according to the guidelines.


\section{\LaTeX-template}
\label{0000-sec-latex-template}

We would like to ask you to submit your paper in \LaTeX\ if possible. The BVM Proceedings team provides you with this template for this purpose. It consists of a \LaTeX-class (\texttt{bvm.cls}) and the \LaTeX-File (\texttt{0000.tex}). \emph{Important}: Edit only the latter and leave the \texttt{bvm.cls} file unchanged.
Furthermore, you will also find a checklist in the files for a quick check of the most common sources of errors and a list of abbreviations of journal names (Sec.~\ref{0000-sec-references}).
You can find the latest version of all files at
\url{https://www.bvm-workshop.org/autoren/autorenrichtlinien/} or\linebreak\url{https://bvm.plri.de}.

Please make sure that you adhere to the following guidelines. This should enable a unified appearance and facilitate the editorial post-processing.
For specifics regarding a short-form submission, please refer to section \ref{0000-sec-abstract}.

This PDF is not intended to be a \LaTeX\ tutorial. But if you take the template as a basis, it should be possible to write your contribution without much \LaTeX\ knowledge. However, if you have any problems with this \LaTeX\ template, please feel free to contact us (Sec.~\ref{0000-sec-troubleshooting}).


\subsection{Files}
\label{0000-sec-files}
In order to process your contribution correctly, we need the following files. These must also be named according to the specified pattern, replace \texttt{<paper id>} with your four-digit paper id.
\begin{itemize}
	\item Your paper as \LaTeX\ file (\texttt{<paper id>.tex})
	\item Your bibliography entries (\texttt{<paper id>.bib})
	\item All used images of your paper (\texttt{<paper id>-<image name>.<format>})
	\item Current reference PDF (\texttt{<paper id>.pdf})
	\item The \LaTeX-class (\texttt{bvm.cls})
	\item The author contract (\texttt{<paper id>-BVM-Autorenvertrag.pdf})
\end{itemize}
All files that are not named according to this pattern will not be saved by us during upload.
Please use only one \texttt{.tex} and \texttt{.bib} file and be sure to leave the \LaTeX-class \texttt{bvm.cls} unchanged.
We accept the following image formats, vector graphics in EPS or PDF format are preferred:
\begin{itemize}
	\item \texttt{eps}
	\item \texttt{pdf}
	\item \texttt{png}
	\item \texttt{jpeg}
\end{itemize}

Your files must be encoded in the UTF-8 character encoding to avoid display problems. This character encoding can be explicitly set in the \LaTeX\ editors, but is usually the default when using a current operating system.

\subsection{Compiling}
To create a PDF from the \LaTeX\ file, compile it with \texttt{pdflatex}. This is the default setting in most editors.

For the bibliography this year we use the package \texttt{BibLaTeX} with \texttt{Biber} as backend instead of \texttt{BibTeX}. Depending on the default settings of your editor, you may need to change this.

\subsection{General format and page layout}

The formatting of the text such as page flip, page numbers, font size and type is predefined and done automatically.
Also the spacing for chapter and subchapter headings is given by \LaTeX. Please do not use your own formatting.

The first paragraph in a (sub)chapter is not indented. New paragraphs in a section are automatically indented at the beginning.
Please do not insert manual line breaks with \verb|\newline| or \verb|\\|. In certain environments like tables or formulas \verb|\\| has further function and is still allowed there.

\emph{Emphasis} can be set using \verb|\emph|, but these emphases are very sparse and should never be used inside \LaTeX\ commands such as \verb|\title| or \verb|\section|. To ensure a consistent appearance, please do not use custom text formatting such as \verb|\textbf| or similar. The \verb|tabular|-Umgebung is an exception: use \verb|\textbf| instead of \verb|\emph| inside this environment.

Units (m, mm, etc.) must not be italicized. To prevent this from happening inside the math mode you can use the command \verb|\text|. To bind the unit to the numeric value with the correct spacing, please use the command \verb|\ts|.

For readability reasons, please refrain from using footnotes\footnote{If footnotes are nevertheless unavoidable, use the command \texttt{\textbackslash footnote} and do not insert spaces in front of the footnote. For acknowledgements or disclaimers, instead use the \texttt{acknowledgement} or \texttt{disclaimer} environment at the end of the paper} and other text annotations (these can be inserted in parentheses directly into the text).


\subsection{Preamble}
Do not change anything in the preamble (anything above \verb|\begin{document}|) except for specifying your bibliography file.
You can specify the bibliography file using the \verb|\addbibresource{<paper id>.bib}| command.
Any other changes will be lost when the book is created.


\subsection{Language}
\label{0000-sec-language}
You can choose to write your paper in English or German.
For the latter, please use the rules of the new spelling.
Select the language at the beginning of the document, \verb|\selectlanguage{ngerman}| for German and \verb|\selectlanguage{english}| for English.
Depending on your choice, you must be careful to use the correct quotation marks.
The German ones are identified with \verb|\glqq| ... \verb|\grqq| and the English ones with \verb|\elqq| ... \verb|\erqq|.
In English, \verb|\title|, \verb|\subtitle|, and \verb|\titlerunning| are to be capitalized except for connective words.
The chapters of the individual contribution as well as the titles of the bibliography entries, however, are to be written in lower case except for the first letter, proper names and abbreviations (\emph{decapitalized}).


\subsection{Cover page}
\subsubsection{Paper title}
Specify the title of your paper using the \verb|\title| command.
Avoid separations within the title with, for example, a colon or a hyphen.
Instead, use the optional subtitle with the command \verb|\subtitle|.
The only exception is the \elqq Abstract:\erqq\ for short articles (Sec.~\ref{0000-sec-abstract}).
Title and subtitle should be capitalized in English (Sec.~\ref{0000-sec-language}).



From the given title, the \LaTeX\ class automatically generates the entries in the header. If you get the text \emph{Title Suppressed Due to Excessive Length} there instead of your title, please define a shortened title with the command \verb|\titlerunning| in the header of your document and check if it now fits into the header.


\subsubsection{Naming of authors and institutes}

There are many ways to name the authors and institutes involved. In order to ensure a consistent naming in all contributions and the correct structure of the list of authors, please do not use additional packages such as \texttt{inst} or similar. Instead, please proceed as follows:

\paragraph{Naming of institutes}
All participating institutes must be named within the \verb|\institute| command. If multiple institutes are involved, each institute must be preceded by an ascending number with \verb|\inst| (example: \texttt{\textbackslash inst\{1\} Peter L. Reichertz Institut für Medizinische Informatik \textbackslash\textbackslash}). If only one institute is involved, omit the number accordingly.
Separate different institutes by a line break (\verb|\\|). Name the institutions briefly enough to take up only one line each (if possible).

\paragraph{Naming of authors}

Specify all authors involved using the \verb|\author| command.
To be able to guarantee a unified appearance and further functions, make sure to name each author according to the following pattern: \verb|\fname{Firstname~Initials.} \lname{Surname}| \verb|\inst{number(s)}|.
In order to ensure a correct list of authors, \verb|\lname| must contain the \emph{entire surname}.
If you want to add your ORCID, you can use the optional argument of \verb|\lname|, e.g.\ \verb|\lname{ORCID}{Surname}|.
Abbreviate possible second names with initials and separate them from the first name with a tilde (\verb|~|).
The tilde between the first name and initials prevents the name from being split into two lines.

Use \verb|\inst| to assign the authors to the corresponding institutes, multiple entries are possible, e.g. \verb|\inst{1,2}|.
If only one institution is involved, omit \verb|\inst| here as well.

After the institute, provide the metadata for the authors' contract and required by Springer. Springer displays this information on SpringerLink. You can see the proceedings of 2025 for examples\footnote{\url{https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-658-47422-5}}: select any contribution and go to author information. You need to provide \verb|\university|, \verb|\authorsEmail|, \verb|\street|, \verb|\housenumber|, \verb|\zipcode|, \verb|\city|, and \verb|\country| for each author. Use \verb|\isCorrespondingAuthor| to select the corresponding author. \verb|\isCorrespondingAuthor| can only be used once: SpringerLink does not support shared main authorships.

Separate all entries with a comma (no line break) and name the main author first. You can use \verb|equalContribution| for shared main authorship. Place this command after the institute, e.g.\ \verb|\inst{1,2}\equalContribution|.

As (co-)author of several papers, please make sure that you are mentioned in each paper with your first, middle and last name in the same way, otherwise you will appear several times in the list of authors.

Additionally, specify a short form of the authors with \verb|\authorrunning|, this will appear in the header of the paper. Enter only the surname here. Depending on the total number of authors involved, use the following formatting.
\begin{itemize}
	\item \emph{one author}: 	 \verb|\authorrunning{Deserno}|
	\item \emph{two authors}:  \verb|\authorrunning{Deserno \& Handels}|
	\item \emph{three authors}:  \verb|\authorrunning{Deserno, Handels \& Maier}|
	\item \emph{more than three}: \verb|\authorrunning{Deserno et al.}|
\end{itemize}



\paragraph{Email}
With the command \verb|\email| you specify the email of the corresponding author and please write it in all lower case. It is not possible to specify multiple email addresses.


\subsection{Outline of the paper}

When structuring your paper, a distinction is made between an abstract and an article.

\subsubsection{Abstract as proceedings paper}
\label{0000-sec-abstract}

An abstract as a BVM proceedings paper follows the same style template as all BVM proceedings papers. However, the abstract should be structured as follows:

\begin{enumerate}
	\item[] Abstract
	\item[] References
\end{enumerate}

An abstract paper must not exceed one page. The title of the paper must start with \elqq Abstract:\erqq\ (also for German-language contributions) followed by the actual title. The \LaTeX\ environment \texttt{abstract} may \emph{not} be used in this case. Care must be taken that the title does not take up more than two lines. A subtitle is allowed and must not exceed two lines either. The abstract itself is to be kept without paragraphs and footnotes. Do not use outlines like in an abstract (e.g. material and methods, results, etc.). We also ask you to refrain from using acknowledgements and disclaimers.


\subsubsection{Article as proceedings paper}

Each article as a BVM proceedings paper must be organized in its basic structure as follows:
\begin{enumerate}
	\item[] Abstract
	\item Introduction
	\item Materials and methods
	\item Results
	\item Discussion
	\item[] Acknowledgements/Disclaimers
	\item[] References
\end{enumerate}

The abstract paragraph starts with \elqq Abstract.\erqq\ (in German \elqq Kurzfassung.\erqq). This formatting is achieved automatically by using the \LaTeX\ environment \texttt{abstract}:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{abstract}
...
\end{abstract}
\end{verbatim}
For acknowledgements and disclaimers, please use the \texttt{acknowledgement} and \texttt{disclaimer} environments at the end of the document. The formatting is done automatically.
Abstract, Acknowledgements, Disclaimers and Bibliography are not assigned a number.
The sections Introduction to Discussion are automatically numbered and should -- if necessary -- be subdivided into subsections. The order given in \LaTeX\
\begin{enumerate}
	\item \texttt{\textbackslash section},
	\item \texttt{\textbackslash subsection},
	\item \texttt{\textbackslash subsubsection},
	\item \texttt{\textbackslash paragraph}.
\end{enumerate}
must be strictly adhered to. Using the commands \texttt{\textbackslash subsubsection} or \texttt{\textbackslash paragraph} directly after a \texttt{\textbackslash section} is not allowed -- even if it saves space. This will be undone during editing and your text will have to be shortened.

For information on internal references to other sections see Sec.~\ref{0000-sec-references}.



\subsection{Tables and figures}
\label{0000-sec-tab-and-fig}

Each figure or table must have a subheading or caption, use the \verb|\caption| command for this. The numbering is done automatically.
Figures and tables must be explicitly referred to in the text, e.g. at the end of the sentence (Tab.~\ref{0000-tab-multi}). For more on references, see Sec.~\ref{0000-sec-references}. The statement that is to be visualized with the object must also be explicitly stated in the text. Sentences like: \elqq figure~\ref{0000-fig-01} shows the result.\erqq\ alone are not sufficient.

Tables are set without grid lines. The table contains at least a header line, a footer line, and a line between the header line and the table body. Wide tables should be expanded to the full text width.  The corresponding command sequence can be seen in the \LaTeX\ source code of this document and reads:


\begin{verbatim}
\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep\fill}llll}
...
\end{tabular*}
\end{verbatim}
You can use table \ref{0000-tab-multi} as a template for your own. It is also an example of using the packages \emph{multicol} and \emph{multirow}.

%%% Example of a table %%%
% A table consists of two nested LaTeX environments: Table and Tabular.
% Table contains metadata such as the caption, positioning and a label.
% Tabular must be inside the Table environment and contains the actual table.
%
% LaTeX positions tables and figures automatically, but with the specification inside the square brackets you can specify a direction.
% Tables should preferably be placed at the top ('t') and figures at the bottom ('b') of the page.
% Please place only small tables in the center ('h') and use the SCtable or SCfigure environment for this.
\begin{table}[t]
	% With \caption you can add a caption for the object.
	% If the object is placed at the top of the page, \caption must be ABOVE the tab environment. Otherwise, below.
	\caption{Example of a table with multiple rows and columns.}

	% Set a \label here to be able to refer to it later with \ref.
	% All labels must start with your paper id.
	% Important: ALWAYS put the \label command BELOW the corresponding \caption command!
	\label{0000-tab-multi}

	% The actual tab must be inside the tabular environment.
	% Use the following command to automatically stretch the table to the text width.
	% You can specify the number of columns using the number of 'l's in the second pair of parentheses.
	\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{l@{\extracolsep\fill}llllll}

		% With \hline you can draw a horizontal line.
		% Each table should have exactly three horizontal lines: Above, below and between table header and body.
		\hline
		% Each column is separated by an '&'.
		% Each line ends with '\\'.
		% Multiple columns can be connected with \multicolumn and multiple rows with \multirow.


		& \multicolumn{2}{l}{column 2 and 3} & \multicolumn{2}{l}{column 4 and 5} & \multicolumn{2}{l}{column 6 and 7} \\
		\hline
		\multirow[t]{2}{*}{row 2 and 3} & value & value & value & value & value & value \\
		& value & value & value & value & value & value \\
		\multirow[t]{2}{*}{row 4 and 5} & value & value & value & value & value & value \\
		& value & value & value & value & value & value \\


		\hline
	\end{tabular*}

\end{table}

Smaller objects can be placed arbitrarily (Fig.~\ref{0000-fig-01}). Use the \texttt{SCfigure} or \texttt{SCtable} environments from the \emph{sidecap} package. The text is aligned next to the objects. Please use this for images with a width smaller than \verb|0.7*\textwidth|.





%%% Example of a small object %%%
% For images with a width smaller than 0.7*\textwidth please use the SCfigure environment:
\begin{SCfigure}[10][h]
	\includegraphics[width=0.3\figwidth]{0000-fig4}

	% With SCfigure or SCtable the position of Caption does not matter.
	\caption{Example of a small image where the caption is placed next to the image.}
	\label{0000-fig-01} % Important: Always BELOW \caption
	\altText{A large, bold black number "4" on a white background.}
\end{SCfigure}

% For small tables please use the SCtable environment
%\begin{SCtable}[10][h]
%	\begin{tabular}{lll}
%		\hline
%		column 1 & column 2 & column 3 \\
%		\hline
%		value & value & value \\
%		value & value & value \\
%		value & value & value \\
%		\hline
%	\end{tabular}
%	\caption{Example of a small table.}
%	\label{0000-tab-03}
%\end{SCtable}

Larger tables or figures should only be placed at the top (preferred position for tables) or bottom (preferred position for images) of the page. This provides a unified appearance for the proceedings, which also increases the readability of the individual papers. Please note that if images and tables are placed at the top of the page, the label will be placed above the object. If, on the other hand, the objects are placed at the bottom of the page, the caption is placed below them. In your \LaTeX\ source code, the \verb|\caption| command must be in the right place.
Captions should be written in \LaTeX source code if possible and should not be included into the image.
They should consist of at least one complete sentence and end with a period/fullstop.
Subheadings (e.g. Fig. \ref{0000-fig-02-a}), should also end on a period/fullstop.

In \LaTeX\ you can include graphics (preferably in EPS or PDF-format) directly into the document. Use the \LaTeX\ command \verb|\includegraphics| from the \LaTeX\ package \emph{graphicx} for this. If you want to combine multiple images or tables under one caption, use the \texttt{subfigure} and \texttt{subtable} environments provided by the \emph{subcaption} package. (Fig.~\ref{0000-fig-02}). These also allow subheadings and references to individual subimages (Fig.~\ref{0000-fig-02-b}). Further examples for tables can be found in the code.

%%% Example of a multi-object %%%

% You can also group several small objects together.
% Use the Subfigure or Subtable environments of the Subcaption package. The usage is similar to minipages.
% Both environments must be within a Figure or Table environment.

% LaTeX positions tables and figures automatically, but you can specify a direction with the specification inside the square brackets.
% Tables should preferably be placed at the top ('t') and figures at the bottom ('b') of the page.
\begin{figure}[b]



	\centering % Centers the entire image

	% With the following command you can set your own length variable '\figwidth' and use it in environment later.
	\setlength{\figwidth}{0.3\textwidth}

	% The second pair of parentheses specifies width of the subimage, here the length defined above \figwidth
	\begin{subfigure}{\figwidth}
		% Include a subimage.
		% Square brackets: Width of the subfigure. Within the subfigure environment \textwidth = \figwidth.
		% Curly brackets: (Relative) path to the image. If name is unique, file extension can be omitted.
		\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{0000-fig1}

		% With \caption you can add a caption for the object.
		% This label refers to the sub-image only.
		% If the object is placed at the bottom of the page, \caption must be BELOW \includegraphics. Otherwise above.
		\caption{One.}

		% Set a \label here to be able to refer to it later with \ref.
		% This label refers to the subimage. You can also explicitly refer to a subimage this way.
		% All labels must start with your paper id.
		% Important: ALWAYS put the \label command BELOW the corresponding \caption command!
		\label{0000-fig-02-a}
		\altText{A large, bold black number "1" on a white background.}
	\end{subfigure}
	\hfill	% Important: Do not leave a blank line between subfigure environments, otherwise a line break will occur.

	% The caption refers to all images.
	\caption{Example of including multiple graphics under one heading.}

	% This label refers to all images.
	\label{0000-fig-02}
	\altText{The numbers "1", "2", and "3" as large, bold black numbers on a white background.}
\end{figure}

For figures, an alt text for screen readers must be specified within the figure environment using the command \verb|\altText{...}|.
The use is analogous to the use of \verb|\caption|.
The aim of alt texts is to provide visually impaired readers with the same information that sighted readers receive.
Good alt texts clearly explain the key elements of a figure in the context in which it appears.
Springer presents guidelines and recommendations in the guide \emph{How to Write Good Alt Text}\footnote{\url{https://www.springernature.com/gp/authors/publish-a-book/manuscript-guidelines}}.

\subsection{Formulas}

Simpler formulas like $x+y=z$ can appear continuously in the text, longer or important mathematical formulas are center-aligned within the page
%
% The amsmath package provides the Align environment. Use this for formulas.
% You can create a line break with '\\'.
% With '&' you can align multi-line formulas.
\begin{align}
	\sin(x) & = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n \frac{x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}  	\label{0000-eq1-1}       \\
	        & =  \frac{x}{1!} - \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^5}{5!} \mp \cdots  \label{0000-eq1-2}
\end{align}
%
and numbered consecutively on the right margin at the level of the equal sign. Use the \texttt{align} environment of the \emph{amsmath} package for this. This also allows multiline formulas.
Please refrain from using a colon directly before and a period as the end of the sentence within the equation.
Mathematical formula characters and symbols are {\em italicized}, but function names and other name identifiers are not.  Units are bound to the numeric value at the correct spacing with the \LaTeX\ macro \verb|\ts|. The source code of the equations \ref{0000-eq1-1} and \ref{0000-eq1-2} gives here examples how this can be set with \LaTeX.

\subsection{Algorithms}
Using the packages \emph{algorithm} and \emph{algorithmicx} with the \emph{algpseudocode} layout you can illustrate an algorithm as pseudocode, e.g. the Euclidean algorithm (Alg. \ref{0000-alg-euclid}).
Inside the \texttt{algorithmic} environment you can define the algorithm using special commands.
Please always set this environment inside the \texttt{algorithm} environment. It treats the algorithm as float object and lets you set a heading and label.
Algorithms should be placed at the top of the page if possible.

\begin{algorithm}[h]

	\caption{Euclid’s algorithm}
	\label{0000-alg-euclid}
	\begin{algorithmic}[1]
		\Procedure{Euclid}{$a,b$}		\Comment{The g.c.d. of $a$ and $b$}
		\State $r\gets a\bmod b$
		\While{$r\not=0$}				\Comment{We have the answer if $r = 0$ }
		\State $a\gets b$
		\State $b\gets r$
		\State $r\gets a\bmod b$
		\EndWhile
		\State \emph{return} $b$		\Comment{The gcd is $b$}
		\EndProcedure
	\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}


\subsection{Bibliography and internal references}
\label{0000-sec-references}

If you want to set a cross reference (e.g. to a figure or table) within the document, you must never write the number directly into the text. \LaTeX\ numbers all objects automatically, so the numbers may change during editing. Therefore \emph{always} use the following commands.

For cross-references to figures, tables, sections, or formulas, you must set a marker for a cross-reference at the appropriate place in the \LaTeX\ code with \verb|\label|. It is important that this is always \emph{after} \verb|\caption| or \verb|\section| and never before.

Literature references to entries from your bibliography file are created using \verb|\cite|.
Please create the entries in your bibliography file in the known BibTeX or BibLaTeX format.
You can use and adapt the \texttt{0000.bib} file used for the present sample document.
Remember to also name your references in the form \texttt{<paper id>-<entry name>}.
The small sample bibliography of this template document includes as references a journal article \cite{0000-01}, two books \cite{0000-02,0000-03}, a book chapter \cite{0000-06}, a BVM proceedings paper \cite{0000-04}, and a documentation \cite{0000-05}. Combine references to multiple literature entries in a row in one \verb|\cite| command like \verb|\cite{0000-01,0000-02}|.

Please make sure to use the correct category for each source in your \texttt{*.bib} file and fill at least all mandatory fields.
Please include only those entries in the {\tt *.bib} file that you also use for your contribution, \texttt{*.bib} files with your \elqq Collected Works\erqq make editing more difficult and are sources of avoidable errors.

Due to the limited length of the paper, you should also consider the following tips when preparing the bibliography:

\begin{itemize}
	\item Limit yourself to the most important work that is necessary for the understanding of your contribution.
	\item Abbreviate journal names according to MEDLINE coding. A list of all abbreviations is enclosed.
	\item For books, mention only the main title.
	\item Mention only the name of the publisher without the word \elqq publisher \erqq\ itself.
	\item Reference papers from previous BVM workshops as proceedings articles in the journal
	      \cite{0000-04}.
	\item In English, decapitalize the titles according to common rules (Sec.~\ref{0000-sec-language}).
\end{itemize}
Create the bibliography with \verb|\printbibliography| at the end of your document. The formatting is automatic, please do not change it.


As mentioned, all \LaTeX\ sources are combined into one Proceedings document.
To avoid collisions in case of cross-references in the document, all internal references (\verb|\label|, \verb|\ref|, \verb|\cite| etc.) must be tagged with the \emph{BVM paper id} followed by \elqq-\erqq. This also applies to the file names of figures and bibliography entries, e.g. \verb|\label{0000-...}|.

Please avoid filler words like \elqq see\erqq\ or \elqq cf.\erqq, instead just put the reference in brackets (Fig.~\ref{0000-fig-01}).
In this case, please abbreviate the words as follows: Figure with Fig. (ger. Abb.), table with Tab. (ger. Tab.), equations with Eq. (ger. Gl.), algorithms with Alg. (ger. Alg.) and section with Sec. (ger. Abschn.).
If, on the other hand, you use a reference in the body text, please write it out. Please cite literature references without round brackets \cite{0000-01}.

\subsection{Packages and macros}
Do not use your own packages, but limit yourself to the following selection:
\begin{itemize}
	\item \emph{inputenc, fontenc}: Correct encoding (UTF8)
	\item \emph{babel}: Extended language capabilities
	\item \emph{biblatex}: Improved bibliographies
	\item \emph{csquotes}: Citation
	\item \emph{newtxtext, newtxmath}: Font selection
	\item \emph{amsmath, amsfonts, amssymb, amsxtra}: Provision of mathematical environments, symbols and commands
	\item \emph{color}: Definition of own colors
	\item \emph{graphicx}: To embed images
	\item \emph{caption, subcation}: Providing the \emph{subfigure} and \emph{subtable} environments
	\item \emph{sidecap}: Providing the \emph{SCfigure} and \emph{SCtable} environment
	\item \emph{footmisc}: Footnote placement
	\item \emph{multicol, multirow}: For table editing
	\item \emph{algorithm, algorithmicx}: Algorithms as pseudo code
	\item \emph{hyperref}: Including links

\end{itemize}
All packages are included inside the class and should be included in every \LaTeX\ default installation. If this is not the case, you can find and download all packages from \url{ctan.org}.

If you are used to working with \emph{PSTricks} normally, please create a separate \LaTeX\ document for each image, use PSTricks to create only the image in it, output it as a \texttt{*.ps} file, and use \emph{Ghostscript} to create a \texttt{*.eps} file with bounding box, which you can then include in your contribution document as described in section \ref{0000-sec-tab-and-fig}.

In general, use your own macros (\verb|\newcommand|) as sparingly as possible. If you need your own macro definitions, write them directly in your \texttt{*.tex} file after \verb|\begin{document}| and include your own name in the command name, creating a unique macro name to avoid multiple definitions between contributions. Also, please avoid defining macros that you do not need in your document. Do not redefine macros using \verb|\renewcommand| under any circumstances.
