DChanges 2013 - 1st International Workshop on (Document) Changes: modeling, detection, storage and visualization

Many people have approached the problem of investigating the evolution of documents and data from different perspectives, e.g. by comparing and versioning. The goal of this workshop is to share ideas, common issues and principles, and to foster research collaboration on these topics. The workshop will further allow researchers to showcase recent developments on diff and versioning tools. Contributions from related areas, e.g., software engineering, collaboration, or ontology management, are also welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Change tracking:
Detecting changes on complex data structures
Diagram diff
Diff algorithms
High-level differences (e.g., between ontologies, specs)
Model evolution
Novel approaches to tree-based diff
Change representation
Finding changes on trees, graphs, diagrams and any kind of document:
Edit-distance measures
Human-oriented diff
Modelling changes
Representation of deltas
Quality of generated patches
Change analysis and interpretation:
Document and schema refactoring
Editing patterns
Evolution of data and metadata
Model refactoring
Semantic diff
Merging:
Management of update conflicts
N-way merge algorithms
Propagation of changes
Applications:
Collaborative editors
Use of diff algorithms in humanities
User interfaces for versioning
Versioning systems
