>The Fourth ACM Digital Libraries Conference (DL '99) will be held in
>Berkeley, California, USA on August 11-14, 1999. The conference hotel will
>be the Radisson Hotel, Berkeley Marina. Conference sessions will be on the
>campus of the University of California at Berkeley and at the conference
>hotel. ACM SIGIR '99 follows immediately after at the same location, to
>facilitate interchange between the DL and Information Retrieval
>communities.
>
>ACM DL is the major international forum on digital libraries, with an
>expanded program for the presentation of new research results, the
>discussion of policy issues, and for the demonstration of new systems and
>techniques. Computer scientists, librarians, information scientists,
>archivists and others in academia, government, and industry - from around
>the globe - who are leaders in the digital library area will present and
>attend. The conference attracts a broad range of professionals including
>theoreticians, collection developers, publishers, researchers, educators,
>policy makers, practicioners, developers, and designers of systems,
>interfaces, and related applications.
>
>Topics
>
>DL '99 seeks original contributions in the broad field of digital
>libraries. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to:
>* Algorithms: categorization, clustering, filtering, learning, protocols
>* Applications: data mining, education, visualization
>* Architecture: agents, bus, distributed, federated
>* Art, humanities, museums: collection, conversion, markup
>* Economic, legal and social: authentication, authorization,
> intellectual property rights, publishing
>* HCI: design, devices, interfaces, logs, usability
>* Hypertext/multimedia: authoring, linking, presenting
>* Information science: information seeking, services
>* Interoperability: multilingual/multicultural, standards, WWW
>* Metadata: adaptations, supporting software/systems
>* Policy: equity, funding, identifiers, international collaboration
>* Sustainability: archiving, organizational issues, preservation
>* Theory: formalisms, metrics, models, security
>
>Submission Requirements
>
>Submissions to DL'99 may be research papers, policy papers, system
>reports,
>or may be proposals for posters, demonstrations, panels, tutorials, or
>workshops. All paper, poster and demonstration submissions should be
>formatted documents, including appropriate bibliographies. All submissions
>will be reviewed and must be in English. Details specific to each type of
>submission are given below.
>
>Papers
>
>Papers must be submitted electronically as explained in online Submission
>Instructions (http://fox.cs.vt.edu/DL99/submit.htm). They must be original
>contributions (that is, not previously published, and not currently being
>considered for publication elsewhere).
>
>Full papers of at most 5,000 words should be submitted with an abstract of
>not more than 150 words on the first page. Use Times Roman, 11 point,
>2-column format just like that required for all three previous
>proceedings.
>There will be three categories of full papers:
>* Research papers: Submissions are invited for reports of significant
> research results on all aspects of digital libraries. Such reports
> should include a substantial evaluative or validation component.
>* Policy papers: Submissions are invited for discussions of significant
> policy issues related to the design, implementation, operation,
> economics, use, and other issues regarding digital libraries.
>* System papers: Submissions are invited for reports on the design,
> implementation, operation, and evaluation of operational and
> prototype digital library systems. The emphasis in such
> submissions will be on reporting the experience of implementation
> of the systems and of their use.
>
>Posters
>
>Poster proposals should be submitted to the Program Chair. Submissions
>are
>invited that fit into any of the paper categories. Posters are especially
>well suited to graphic and interactive presentation, or to report on work
>still in progress after the deadline for regular papers.
>
>Demonstrations
>
>Demonstration proposals should be submitted to the Program Chair.
>Submissions are invited for formal demonstrations of digital library
>systems and components. Demonstrations may be live or on video, but must
>include a written description of the system and its unique characteristics
>and contributions. At the review stage, video submissions can be either
>high quality MPEG files or NTSC VHS tapes.
>
>Panels
>
>Panel proposals should be submitted to the Program Chair. Submissions are
>invited for panel presentations dealing with significant, controversial
>and
>timely issues. Panel sessions will either be 60 or
>90 minutes in length, and must be chaired by an experienced moderator
>Contact information about the moderator, names and affiliations of
>panelists, a prose justification, and a detailed topical outline must be
>supplied.
>
>Tutorials
>
>Tutorial proposals should be submitted to the Program Chair. A
>biographical
>sketch for the presenter(s), including details on relevant prior
>experience, as well as a description of the target audience and suitable
>learning objectives, must accompany a detailed topical outline. Both 1/2
>and full-day tutorials, covering basic, intermediate, and advanced topics,
>will be offered.
>
>Workshops
>
>Workshop proposals should be submitted to the Program Chair. The aim is to
>bring together a small group of people involved in a specific problem area
>of digital libraries, to advance the state-of-the-art and to encourage
>collaboration in that area. Submissions must include contact and
>biographical information on the organizers including prior experience,
>expected audience, planned format, objectives, and a detailed topical
>outline.
>
>Reviewing Process
>
>At least 3 members of the Program Committee will be asked to review each
>paper submission. Chairs for Posters, Demonstrations,
>Panels, Tutorials, and Workshops will coordinate review of those
>submissions. There will be one Program Committee meeting in Virginia to
>make final selections.
