                     Join us in Fort Collins, for the
        14th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng 2014),

                        September 16-19 2014,
     at Hewlett-Packard in Fort Collins, near Denver, Colorado, USA

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


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 increasingly underpin research, education, 
commerce, entertainment – the full range of human activity. Document 
engineering covers both the innovative use of documents and document 
collections in real-world applications and the study of principles, 
tools and processes that improve our ability to create, manage, 
maintain, share, and productively use these.

You are invited to submit original papers to the 14th ACM Symposium on 
Document Engineering (DocEng 2014), to be held at the Hewlett-Packard 
site in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. Attendees at this international 
forum have interests that span all aspects of document engineering and 
applications. DocEng is sponsored by ACM by means of the ACM SIGWEB 
Special Interest Group. Proceedings are available through the ACM 
Digital Library.

===================================================

Modeling and Representation:

* Document representation and standards including interchange standards,
   markup languages, style sheets, type representation, multimedia
   (incl. HTML-5, MPEG, SMIL, SVG)

* Metadata creation and standards, use of semantic web technologies

* Hypertext/hypermedia, distributed documents, blogs, wikis

* Linking techniques and standards, integration with other digital
   artifacts


Generation, Manipulation, and Presentation:

* Document authoring tools and systems

* Document presentation (typography, formatting, layout) algorithms and
   systems

* Automatically generated documents, automated layout and composition,
   variable data printing

* Adaptive, responsive documents, content customization

* Mobile platforms and documents

* Document transformation and rich-web-client models

* Document internationalization, multilingual representations


Collections, Systems, and Management:

* Collections databases and repositories, storage, indexing, retrieval,
   versioning, 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 workflows

* Management of collaboratively authored online documents


Document Analysis and Semantic Enrichment:

* Structure and representation analysis (layout, OCR, visual analysis)
   and classification

* Linguistic and semantic (content) analysis, categorization,
   classification, clustering

* Automatic tagging, named entity disambiguation, semantic linking

* Automatic abstract generation and metadata extraction

* Multi-lingual and cross-lingual indexing and search


User Experience:

* Navigation, search

* Usability, accessibility, readability and aesthetics

* Collaborative authoring and editing, curation and annotation

* Workflows, integration and interaction between human and automated
   processes

* Culture-dependent layouts


Security:

* Secure document workflows, including policy and access

* Security printing, including document identification, tagging and
   meta-data

* Cyber-physical document workflows, especially electronic/print options

* Embedded systems: access, workflow and security of documents on
   embedded devices (mobile, printing, etc.)


Applications:

* Digital humanities, digital preservation and archiving

* eBooks and digital publishing

... and all other application areas
