The 18^th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering

August 28, 2018 to August 31, 2018
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

The 18^th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng 2018) 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 2018 seeks works involving large-scale document engineering applications of industrial relevance. You are invited to submit original papers to DocEng 2018, to be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Attendees at this international forum have interests that span all aspects of document engineering and applications.
