Call for Papers
ACM Symposium on Document Engineering 2003
Grenoble, France, November 20-22, 2003
Sponsored by ACM SIGWEB and INRIA
in cooperation with ACM SIGCHI and ACM SIGIR
http://www.documentengineering.org
Documents are one of the centerpieces of 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. A document may be stored in final presentation form or it may
be generated on-the-fly, undergoing substantial transformations in the
process. Documents, that may include extensive hyperlinks, also make
available structured collections of information on which to anchor
automated reasoning, such as promoted through the Semantic
Web. 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, knowledge representation,
and structured document).
The Symposium on Document Engineering is an academic conference
devoted to the dissemination of research on models, tools and
processes that improve our ability to create, manage and maintain
documents. DocEng 2003, the third 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, distribution and, interaction with 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 for document engineering
Document transformation (XSLT)
Document services on wireless networks (WAP)
Document linking standards (XLink, XPath, XPointer)
Document APIs (SAX, DOM)

Submission information
======================
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers
that are not being considered in another forum. Authors may submit
full papers (up to 10 pages length) or short papers (up to 3 pages in
length). Full papers should describe complete works of original
research. Short papers provide an opportunity to report on research
in progress, to present novel positions on document engineering, or to
demonstrate exciting new systems. Full paper presentations will be 30
minutes in length, while short papers will be presented in 15 minutes.
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. A panel proposal may be up to three pages in
length. It should describe the topic of the panel and why it will be
interesting to the symposium's participants. It should also list the
panelists, briefly describing their expertise and should note whether
any panelist's participation is tentative. (Note: panelists are
expected to register for the symposium.)

Engineering Web site at
