International Association for Pattern Recognition Workshop on
Document Analysis Systems
Malvern, Pennsylvania, October 14-16, 1996
Call for Papers
An intensive, three-day, single-track, 100% participation
workshop on the research and development of systems for the
analysis of document images.
Academic and industrial researchers, end-users and students are
encouraged to attend. We expect to provide several student scholarships
Attendance will be limited to 75 people. Papers will be delivered in a
single-track format. A portion of the workshop will also be devoted

Submission of Papers
Authors are invited to submit either a full paper or an abstract of
remarks. Full papers, of up to book-chapter length, will be presented
formally, published in a limited number of refereed Proceedings
available at the meeting, and considered for archival publication in a
post-workshop book. Abstracts of remarks, one page in length, will be
delivered more briefly, and will not be published in the Proceedings.
Authors should submit four copies of each paper or
abstract, cleanly typed and in English. If there are several authors,
please indicate the author that will handle all correspondence.
The email address of the corresponding author should be provided.
If any part of a full paper has been submitted to another conference,
please state where it has been submitted and how it differs
from this paper.
Acceptance of a paper or abstract will result in automatic
distribution of registration materials.
