Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)

Celebrating 50 Years

LNCS turns 50: Celebrating five decades of a constantly changing field

Lecture Notes in Computer Science is celebrating its 50th birthday. It has been an exciting journey along the road of computer science. Five decades of impressive milestones and trendsetting encounters at conferences throughout the globe. A huge huge thank you to all LNCS series editors, volume editors and countless scientists contributing their papers to a Springer computer proceedings. The success of LNCS is your merit!

To mark this occasion, we’ve published a collection featuring some of the most cited, downloaded and talked about content. Check out some recent highlights today. Enjoy!

Find on this page: Highlight conference volumes, top papers published, benefits of publishing in LNCS, proceedings contacts, a little bit of history.
 

Selected Highlights from the 2020s

Most highlighted volumes had more than 100,000 downloads, some even more than half a million!
