Subject: FINAL CALL: ACM Symposium on Document Engineering
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
ACM Symposium on Document Engineering
November 9-10, 2001
Doubletree Hotel, Buckhead, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
In cooperation with ACM SIGCHI and ACM SIGWEB
Computer-based systems for creating, distributing and analysing
documents are one of the centerpieces of the new ``Information
Society.'' Documents are no longer static, physical entities. New
document technology allows us to create globally interconnected
systems that store information drawn from many media and deliver that
information as active documents that adapt to the needs of their
users. Furthermore, document technologies like XML are having a
profound impact on data modeling in general because of the way they
bridge and integrate a variety of paradigms (database,
object-oriented, and structured document).
Document engineering is an emerging discipline within computer science
that investigates systems for documents in any form and in all media.
Like software engineering, document engineering is concerned with
principles, tools and processes that improve our ability to create,
manage and maintain documents.
Scope
=====
The Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng '01) is a new academic
conference devoted to the dissemination of research on document
engineering. DocEng '01 seeks high-quality, original papers and panels
that address the theory, design, development and evaluation of
computer systems that support the creation, analysis, or distribution
of documents in any medium.
We, the organizers of DocEng '01, hold to an expansive notion of
documents. A document is a representation of information that is
designed to be read or played back by a person. It may be presented on
paper, on a screen, or played through a speaker and its underlying
representation may be in any form and include data from any medium. A
document may be stored in final presentation form or it may be
generated on-the-fly, undergoing substantial transformations in the
process. A document may include extensive hyperlinks and be part of a
large web of information. Furthermore, apparently independent
documents may be composed, so that a web of information may itself be
considered a document.
Conceptual topics relevant to the symposium include (but are not limited to):
Document standards, models, and representation languages
Document authoring tools and systems
Document presentation (typography, formatting, layout) and
interface design
Document synchronization and temporal aspects
Document structure and content analysis
Document categorization and classification
Document internationalization
Integrating documents with other tools and digital artifacts
Document engineering life cycle and processes
Document workflow and cooperation
Document engineering ``in the large''
Document storage, indexing, and retrieval
Automatically generated documents and adaptive documents
Performance of document systems
Technology that is relevant to the symposium includes (but is not
limited to):
Markup languages (SGML, XML)
Style sheet systems and languages (CSS, XSL, DSSSL)
Structured multimedia (MPEG-4, SMIL, MHEG, HyTime)
Metadata (MPEG-7, RDF)
Document database systems and XQL
Optical character recognition
Type representations (Adobe Type 1, Truetype)
Page description languages (PostScript, PDF)
Electronic books (E-book) and digital paper
Constraint systems
Document transformation (XSLT)
Document services on wireless networks (WAP)
Document linking standards (XLink, XPath, XPointer)
Document APIs (SAX, DOM)
