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:
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 - Using Plain TeX
If you are not able to use LaTeX2e you may use our old macro package for Plain TeX.
Please download plncs.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.
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.
Please download word.zip.
Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes - Using FrameMaker
Please follow our "Author Instructions" closely in order to make the volume look as uniform as possible.
Oscar Nierstrasz prepared a FrameMaker template (llncsfm.zip) for the ESEC 1999 conference. [Please note that this template is neither checked nor supported by Springer.]
Please download llncsfm.zip.
Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes - Using Other Packages
Please follow our "Author Instructions" closely in order to make the volume look as uniform as possible.
If you have prepared a template for a different text-processing system and you would like to share it with others, please send it to us. [Please note that any such templates are neither checked nor supported by Springer.]
Monographs - Using LaTeX2e
We strongly suggest using current LaTeX2e for your Monograph.
Please download the basic LaTeX package SVMono and check the readme.txt file first.
Please download svmono.zip.
Monographs - Using old LaTeX 2.09
If you are not able to use current LaTeX2e you may use our old macro package for LaTeX 2.09. Please use CLMono01 for LaTeX 2.09, part of the CLMoMu01 package.
Please download clmomu01.zip.
Monographs - Using Plain TeX
Please use CPMono01 for Plain TeX, part of CPMoMu01.
Please download cpmomu01.zip.
If possible, please produce your figures electronically - please download see techinen.pdf - and integrate them into your text file.
For current LaTeX2e please use either the graphics or the
graphicx package for inclusion of figures.
For old LaTeX 2.09 and plainTeX users we recommend using the style files psfig.sty (available at ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/nonfree/graphics/psfig/psfig.sty) or epsf.tex (available at ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/knuth/local/lib/epsf.tex).
If you have supplementary material on your server, please give the volume editors a short description and give them the relevant URL, etc. Then we can add a description of this material to the LNCS Online entry for your volume, and create a link to your server, etc.
