Submission format
The following guidelines apply to both main and student session papers. Main papers should be no more
than eight (8) pages long, student papers no more than five (5) pages long, including references, and
should be in PDF format.
Submissions should follow the style instructions specified in the
LNCS/LNAI Instructions for Authors. We strongly
recommend use of the latex2e macros provided by Springer for this purpose. A copy of their ZIP archive for latex2e is
available here, and the files in the archive
are available individually here.
Here is an extract from Springer's website describing this archive:
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:
- llncs.cls, Springer class file;
- llncs.dem, sample input file, you can use it as a source for your own input;
- llncs.doc (actually a TeX file), the documentation of the class, with detailed instructions
on how the macro package works;
- llncs.dvi, DVI resulting out of llncs.doc.
Note: The file llncs.dem in the Springer archive
contains an example of a full proceedings manuscript and so
is not quite suitable for single paper submission. We have created a further file llncs2e-example.tex (plus output file llncs2e-example.pdf)
which is a more appropriate starting point for your paper. (This file is not part of the archive file.)
As reviewing will be blind, the paper should not include the authors' names
and affiliations. In the paper, please insert the paper registration
password instead of of the authors' names.
Furthermore, self-references that reveal the authors' identity, e.g.,
"We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead,
use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...".
If you really must submit in rtf, support for formatting using Microsoft Word etc. can be found on the Springer site.
