LNCS Tutorials, Hot Topics, State-of-the-Art Surveys

LNCS - More than Just Proceedings! 

The breadth of research within LNCS makes it a core item for any academic library in computer science and a relevant resource of information for many researchers in neighboring academic disciplines as well as in corporate R&D environments.
LNCS is characterized not only by its comprehensive coverage of the filed but also by its variety of products over and above the well-established conference proceedings.
Watch out for these product lines with colorful covers:

LNCS Tutorials 

9783642037535_144x95
The Tutorials comprise textbooks (also in preliminary version), textbook-like monographs, and coherently integrated collections of lectures given at advanced courses, seminars, schools, etc. The level ranges from advanced undergraduate to postgraduate.
Manuscripts to be published as Tutorials must clearly serve educational purposes.
This subline is easily recognizable by its blue and green cover.

LNCS State-of-the-Art Surveys 

9783642006586
Volumes in this subline treat topics in an authoritative way. At a level for graduates or postgraduates, they guide readers to the forefront of current research.
The subline is open for monographs and for edited volumes, which must be homogeneous in style of presentation and terminology and must provide complete and complementary coverage of all relevant aspects of the topic.
State-of-the-Art Surveys have a red and blue cover.
