Proceedings and Other Multi-author Volumes

You will get the best results and your files will be easiest to handle if you use LaTeX2e for the preparation of your camera-ready manuscript together with the corresponding Springer class file llncs.cls. Only if you use LaTeX2e and llncs.cls will Springer Verlag be able to add hyperlinks to your manuscript in the online version. The LaTeX2e macro package for LNCS contains further files: llncs.dem is a sample input file which you may take as a source for your own input.llncs.doc (a TEX file) is the documentation of the class, here you can find detailed instructions showing how the macro package works. llncs.dvi is the resulting DVI file of llncs.doc to enable you to print out the documentation directly. Springer Verlag also provides a LaTeX2e source file of  "Authors' Instructions", which may serve as a further sample input. Please follow the submission instructions in this page instead of those mentioned in Springer Verlag's "Author's Instructions" file. You can download it as a ZIP archive or you can download the TEX file for the text and the EPS file for the figure separately.

If you are not able to use LaTeX2e you may use Springer Verlag's old macro packages for LaTeX or for TeX.

Springer Verlag does not encourage the use of MS Word, particularly as the layout of the pages (the position of figures and paragraphs) can change from printout to printout. However, Springer Verlag does provide the template sv-lncs.dot (for use with PC systems) or sv-lncs (for use with Macintosh systems) to help MS Word users to prepare their camera-ready manuscripts and to enable Springer Verlag to use their source files for the online version of the LNCS. Please read the documentation of the template sv-lncs.doc carefully (also available in PDF format), Springer Verlag also provides typeinst.doc, which is the "Authors' Instructions" as an example input. Please follow the submission instructions in this page instead of those mentioned in Springer Verlag's "Author's Instructions" file. You can download all four files as a ZIP archive. With some Web browsers the templates may be destroyed during transfer. Thus it is better to download the ZIP archive.
 
 

Monographs

For LaTeX-users Springer Verlag provides the macro package CLMono01 which is part of CLMoMu01, and for LaTeX2e users Springer offers a beta version of CLMono01 for LaTeX2e which is part of CLMoMu01 for LaTeX2e. Do not hesitate to use this beta version. For information about the macro packages read the read.me-files first. A detailed documentation of the packages is given in clm1-doc.dvi; clmomu01.doc is the source file of the documentation.

If you would like to access Springer Verlag's sample file, please send an email to [email protected].

For plain-TeX users Springer Verlag provides CPMono01 which is part of CPMoMu01.
 
 

Headings

Headings should be capitalized (i.e., nouns, verbs, and all other words except articles, prepositions, and conjunctions should be set with an initial capital) and should, with the exception of the title, be aligned to the left. Words joined by a hyphen are subject to a special rule. If the first word can stand alone, the second word should be capitalized.

Here are some examples of headings: "Criteria to Disprove Context-Freeness of Collage Languages", "On Correcting the Intrusion of Tracing Non-deterministic Programs by Software", "A User-Friendly and Extendable Data Distribution System", "Multi-flip Networks: Parallelizing GenSAT".
 
 

Figures

If possible, please produce your figures electronically and integrate them into your text-file. For LaTeX and TeX users Springer recommends using the style-files psfig or epsf.
