THE 18TH ACM SYMPOSIUM ON DOCUMENT ENGINEERING (DOCENG 2018)

Call for short papers and application notes

August 28-31, 2018
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
https://doceng.org/doceng2018

The 18th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng 2018) seeks  
original research papers that focus on the design, implementation,  
development, management, use and evaluation of advanced systems where  
document and document collections play a key role. DocEng emphasizes  
innovative approaches to document engineering technology, use of documents  
and document collections in real world applications, novel principles,  
tools and processes that improve our ability to create, manage, maintain,  
share, and productively use these. In particular, the 18th ACM Symposium  
on Document Engineering (DocEng 2018) seeks works involving large-scale  
document engineering applications of industrial relevance. You are invited  
to submit original papers to the 18th ACM Symposium on Document  
Engineering (DocEng 2018), to be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.  
Attendees at this international forum have interests that span all aspects  
of document engineering and applications.

IMPORTANT DATES:
SHORT PAPERS AND APPLICATION NOTES
manuscripts due: March 22, 2018
acceptance notice: April 25, 2018

EVALUATION CRITERIA
The program committee will evaluate the technical contribution of each  
submission as well as its general accessibility to the DocEng audience.  
Papers will be judged on significance, originality, and clarity. The paper  
must be organized so that it is easily understood by an audience with  
varied expertise. The paper should clearly identify what has been  
accomplished, why it is significant, and how it relates to previous work.

SUBMISSIONS
SHORT PAPERS: describing smaller complete works of research, novel  
challenges or visions (up to 4 pages).
APPLICATION NOTES/DEMOS: describing systems or tools (up to 4 pages).

SYMPOSIUM FORMAT
DocEng is a single-track conference attended by a community of academic  
and industrial researchers. It will be preceded by one day of workshops  
and tutorials.

APPLICATIONS
We encourage submissions about document-centric applications such as:
Digital humanities, digital preservation/archiving
Education
eBooks and digital publishing
Web applications and systems
Mobile applications
WEB DOCUMENT PROCESSING AND INTERACTION
Rich web applications
Systems and algorithms for safe and efficient document processing
Scalable distributed document processing

Secure document workflows, policy, and access, security for mobile and  
printing devices
Security printing, including document identification, tagging and meta-data
Cyber-physical document workflows, especially electronic/print options,  
including 3D printing workflows

* Pure document image or document content analysis papers are not out of  
scope but authors should clarify how the contribution relates to document  
engineering technology, use of documents or document collections
