Call for Papers
                Symposium on Document Engineering 2002
                   McLean, VA (near Washington, DC)
                          November 8-9, 2002

                     held in conjunction with the
  11th Intl Conf on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM '02)
       Sponsored by ACM SIGIR and ACM SIGMIS (pending approval)

The Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng '02) is an academic 
conference devoted to the dissemination of research on document 
engineering.  DocEng '02, the second annual meeting, 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.  Conceptual topics and 
technologies relevant to the symposium include (but are not limited to):

Document standards, models, representation languages
Document authoring tools and systems
Document presentation (typography, formatting, layout)
Document synchronization and temporal aspects
Document structure and content analysis
Document categorization and classification
Document internationalization
Integrating documents with other 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
Adaptive documents
Performance of document systems
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
Applications of constraint systems to documents
Document transformation (XSLT)
Document services on wireless networks (WAP)
Document linking standards (XLink, XPath, XPointer)
Document APIs (SAX, DOM)

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers
that are not being considered in another forum.  Papers and abstracts
are to be submitted electronically.  See the DocEng '02 Web site at
www.documentengineering.org for complete information.  Panel
organizers are invited to submit panel proposals.  A panel should
bring together a variety of expert voices on a topic of considerable
interest.  The topic may be interesting because it is controversial,
because it is of great importance to society or to the field, or
because it leads us to think about future directions for document
engineering.
