August 20th, 2024 to August 23rd, 2024
San Jose, CA, USA

Call for Papers
The 24^th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng'24) seeks original research papers that focus on the design, implementation, development, management, use and evaluation of advanced systems where document and document collections play a key role. DocEng emphasizes innovative approaches to document engineering technology, use of documents and document collections in real world applications, novel principles, tools and processes that improve our ability to create, manage, maintain, share, and productively use these. In particular, DocEng'24 seeks contributions in the area of collaborative work with documents. You are invited to submit original papers to DocEng'24, to be held in San Jose, CA, USA. Attendees at this international forum have interests that span all aspects of document engineering and applications.

Proceedings and post-proceedings

Accepted articles will be published in the DocEng 2024 proceedings in the ACM Digital Library.

The program committee will evaluate the technical contribution of each submission as well as its general accessibility to the DocEng audience. Papers will be judged on significance, originality, and clarity. The paper must be organized so that it is easily understood by an audience with varied expertise. The paper should clearly identify what has been accomplished, why it is significant, and how it relates to previous work.

Submissions

Full papers: describing complete works of research (up to 10 pages).
Short papers: describing smaller complete works of research, novel challenges or visions (up to 4 pages).
Application notes: describing systems or tools (up to 4 pages).

Submissions should be prepared using the ACM format. Guidelines are available at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template

Papers can be submitted online at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=doceng24

Symposium Format

DocEng is a single-track conference attended by a community of academic and industrial researchers. It will be preceded by one day of workshops and tutorials.

* Pure document image or document content analysis papers are not out of scope but authors should clarify how the contribution relates to document engineering technology, use of documents or document collections

Authors Take Note

The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
DocEng is sponsored by ACM by means of the ACM SIGWEB Special Interest Group. Proceedings are available through the ACM Digital Library.
Each DocEng paper must have at least one non-student registration for it to be presented at DocEng 2024 and be published in the DocEng 2024 Proceedings. Each workshop paper must have at least one workshop registration (of either category) to be presented at the workshop.
