DocEng 2013 - 13th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng)

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 underpin research, education, commerce, entertainment ? a full range of human activity. Document engineering encompasses the study of principles, tools and processes that improve our ability to create, manage, maintain, share, and access documents and document collections.
Topics relevant to the symposium include (but are not limited to)
Document Analysis
Structure and representation analysis (structure, layout, OCR)
Linguistic and Semantic (content) analysis, categorization, classification
Modeling and representation
Hypertexts/hypermedia, distributed documents, blogs, wikis
Linking techniques and standards, robust linking, integration with other digital artifacts
Document Representations ? interchange standards (ODF, PDF, TEI), metadata (RDF, MPEG-7), markup languages (SGML, XML), style sheets (CSS, XSL), type representation, multimedia (incl. HTML-5, MPEG, SMIL, SVG), temporal aspects, e-book standards (ePub)
Collections, Systems, and Management
Collections databases and repositories, storage, indexing, retrieval, versions and variants, 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 Workflow, curation and annotation, cooperation, integration and interaction between human and automated processes, engineering life cycle
Generation, Manipulation, and Presentation
Document authoring tools and systems
Document presentation (typography, formatting, layout)
Automatically generated documents, automated layout and composition, variable data printing
Adaptive Documents
Mobile platforms and documents
Document transformation (XSLT, XQuery) and rich-web-client models (jQuery, DOJO)
Internationalization
