The Kiel Computer Science Series (KCSS) covers dissertations, habilitation theses, lecture
notes, textbooks, surveys, collections, handbooks, etc. written at the Department of Computer
Science at Kiel University. It was initiated in 2011 to support authors in the dissemination
of their work in electronic and printed form, without restricting their rights to their work.
The series provides a unified appearance and aims at high-quality typography. The KCSS
is an open access series; all series titles are electronically available free of charge at the
department’s website. In addition, authors are encouraged to make printed copies available
at a reasonable price, typically with a print-on-demand service.
