CALL FOR PAPERS

Join us in Florence for the
13th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng 2013),

September 10-13 2013,
at the University of Florence, Italy

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Documents are communication artifacts in any form and in any media;
they can be simple or compound, static or time-varying, private or
open. Document collections increasingly underpin research, education,
commerce, entertainment – the full range of human activity. Document
engineering covers both the innovative use of documents and document
collections in real-world applications and the study of principles,
tools and processes that improve our ability to create, manage,
maintain, share, and productively use these.

You are invited to submit original papers to the 13th ACM Symposium on
Document Engineering (DocEng 2013), to be held at the University of
Florence. Attendees at this international forum have interests that
span all aspects of document engineering and applications. DocEng is
sponsored by ACM by means of the ACM SIGWEB Special Interest Group.
Proceedings are available through the ACM Digital Library.

Topics relevant to the symposium include (but are not limited to):
==================================================================

Modeling and Representation:
* Document representation and standards including interchange
standards, markup languages (incl. SGML), stylesheets, type
representation, multimedia (incl. HTML5, MPEG, SMIL, SVG), eBook
standards (ePub)
* Metadata creation and standards, use of semantic web technologies
* Hypertext/hypermedia, distributed documents, blogs, wikis
* Linking techniques and standards, integration with other digital
artifacts

Generation, Manipulation, and Presentation:
* Document authoring tools and systems
* Document presentation (typography, formatting, layout) algorithms
and systems (TeX, browsers)
* Automatically generated documents, automated layout and composition,
variable data printing
* Adaptive, responsive documents, content customization
* Mobile platforms and documents
* Document transformation and rich-web-client models

Collections, Systems, and Management:
* Collections databases and repositories, storage, indexing,
retrieval, versioning, deduplication
* Enterprise content management: models and standards (CMIS), scale
and performance, platforms and applications
* Digital libraries and archives, preservation systems
* Document system components: security, APIs (SAX, DOM), versioning,
synchronization
* Document systems and workflows

Document Analysis:
* Structure and representation analysis (layout, OCR, visual analysis)
* Linguistic and semantic (content) analysis, categorization,
classification

Internationalization:
* Document internationalization, multilingual representations
* Multi-lingual and cross-lingual indexing and search

User Experience:
* Navigation, search
* Usability, accessibility, readability and aesthetics
* Collaborative authoring and editing, curation and annotation
* Workflows, integration and interaction between human and automated
processes

Applications:
* Digital humanities, digital preservation and archiving
* eBooks and digital publishing
... and all other application areas
