DChanges 2015 - ACM DocEng Workshop on (Document) Changes: modeling, detection, storage and visualization

DChanges 2015 is the third edition of the International Workshop on (Document) Changes: Modeling, Detection, Storage and Visualization in conjunction with the 15th ACM SIGWEB International Symposium on Document Engineering. This year, the workshop will be held in Lausanne (Switzerland) in September 2015.
The focus of the workshop is the study of changes in all its aspects and applications: algorithms to detect changes, models to describe differences, techniques to track changes, versioning of human-readable as well as computer-oriented files, tools to detect meaningful changes among a myriad of modifications.
We want to look at these topics from different perspectives, and take on different approaches. The workshop brings together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. It is a unique occasion to discuss these issues in an informal setting and to foster collaboration.
The previous editions emphasised a strong need for novel algorithms and interfaces to better understand and exploit detected changes. Several issues were pointed out as still unsolved: interfaces do not scale when dealing with many changes, changes at different levels of abstraction are often not sufficiently taken into account, detection and visualization are often inter-mixed, logs are often detailed but underexploited, and versioning techniques are not very well suited for non-technical people.
Besides contributions on these topics, we also seek contributions on, but not necessarily limited to:
Diffing and change tracking algorithms
Change modeling and representation
High-level differences
Detecting changes on complex data structures
Detecting changes on trees, graphs, diagrams and any kind of document
Novel approaches to tree-based diff
Edit-distance measures
Quality of deltas and patches
Editing patterns
Semantic diff
Merging
Management of update conflicts
N-way merge algorithms
Propagation of changes
Versioning systems
Versioning
Collaborative editing
Real-time collaborative editing
Distributed collaboration
Use in digital humanities
Collation
Text genetics
Stemmatology
Plagiarism detection
Applications of diff techniques from and to other domains
Software engineering, law, medicine etc.
Document and schema refactoring
