Title of Work: Author(s): Publication or Conference Name and Date:

TRANSFER OF COPYRIGHT AGREEMENT Copyright to the above work (including without limitation, the right to publish the work in whole or in part in any and all forms of media, now or hereafter known) is hereby transferred to the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), effective as of the date of this agreement, on the understanding that the work has been accepted for inclusion in the publication listed above. For government work where transfer of copyright is restricted, the transfer of copyright is restricted as indicated in Part B below. However, each of the employer/author(s) retains the following rights: 1. All other proprietary rights to the work such as patent. 2. The right to reuse any portion of the work, without fee, in future works of the employer/author's own, including books, lectures and presentations in all media, provided that the proper publication citation and notice of the copyright are included (see Part A below). 3. The right to revise the work. 4. The right to post author-prepared versions of the work covered by IFIP copyright in a personal collection on a personal web site and on a publicly accessible server of the employer. Such posting is limited to noncommercial access and personal use by others,

and must include the following notice both embedded within the full text file and in any accompanying citation display as well:

© IFIP, (YEAR). This is the author's version of the work. It is posted here by permission of IFIP for your personal use. Not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in PUBLICATION, {VOL#, ISS#, (DATE)}, (Boston: Springer), pp {PAGE NUMBERS}. 5.

The right of an employer who originally owned copyright to distribute definitive copies of its author-employees work within its organization. Posting these works is limited to noncommercial access and personal use within the employerʼs organization, and must include any copyright notice embedded within the full text file of the definitive version and in any accompanying citation display as well.

A. ASSENT TO ASSIGNMENT This form must be signed by the author or, in the case of a "work made for hire," by the employer, and must be received by Springer before processing of the manuscript for inclusion in publication can be completed. In the case of multiple authors, one author must sign as the authorized agent for all authors. Consistent with IFIPʼs policy of encouraging dissemination of information, authors should understand that the following notice applies to each work published by IFIP: "Permission to make digital or hard copies of part or all of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page. Copyrights for components of this work owned by others than IFIP must be honored. Abstracting with credit is permitted. To copy otherwise, to republish, to post on servers or to redistribute to lists, requires prior specific permission and/or a fee." I hereby warrant that I am the sole owner, or authorized agent of the copyright owner(s), with the exception of third party material detailed in Part C below.

C. THIRD-PARTY MATERIAL This copyright transfer applies only to the work as a whole, not to any embedded objects owned by third parties.

The requirement to obtain third-party permission does not apply if the author embeds only a link to the copyright holder's definitive version of the object. Third-party permission must be clearly stated near the object(s) or in the text narrative. Indicate below any third-party material included in this submission. Please be specific, i.e., type of material: figure, table, photo, music, video or other image, and note whether permission is approved (Y/N) and forwarded with your submission.
