Use this class according to the template document which is available on the Springer web site under Information for Authors. The above website contains a useful rubric "Author Guidelines" with further information. Do not change the formatting parameters of llncs.cls in any way. You must use bibtex for references. Many bibtex references can be exported from the DBLP computer science bibliography.

A good introduction to LaTeX may be found in the documentation of ShareLaTeX.
