Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes - Using LaTeX2e
We want to add hyperlinks to your manuscript in the online version, so we recommend the use of LaTeX2e for the preparation of your camera-ready manuscript, together with the corresponding Springer class file - llncs2e.zip contains:
(i) llncs.cls, Springer class file;
(ii) llncs.dem, sample input file, you can use it as a source for your own input;
(iii) llncs.doc (actually a TeX file), the documentation of the class, with detailed instructions on how the macro package works;
(iv) llncs.dvi, DVI resulting out of llncs.doc.

Please download llncs2e.zip.

Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes - Using LaTeX
If you are not able to use LaTeX2e you may use our old macro package for LaTeX.

Please download llncs.zip.

Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes - Sample File
We also provide the LaTeX2e source file of the "Authors' Instructions," which may serve as a further sample input. typeinst.zip contains a separate LaTeX file for the text and EPS file for the figure.

Please download typeinst.zip.

Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes - Using Microsoft Word
We do not encourage the use of Microsoft Word, particularly as the layout of the pages (the position of figures and paragraphs) can change between printouts. However, we do provide the relevant templates and sample files for PC (sv-lncs.dot) and Mac (sv-lncs) environments. Please read the explanatory sv-lncs.pdf carefully.
