The 23rd ACM Symposium on Document Engineering
August 22, 2023 to August 25, 2023
Limerick, Ireland
Call for Papers
The 23rd ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng'23) 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 2023 seeks contributions in the area of collaborative work with documents. Attendees at this international forum have interests that span all aspects of document engineering and applications.
You are invited to submit original papers to DocEng'23, to be held as a full in person event in Limerick, Ireland.
Please note that DocEng'23 seeks proposals for Challenges & Competitions and also for Workshops & Tutorials
Important Dates

Proceedings and post-proceedings
Accepted articles will be published in the DocEng'23 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, cohesiveness, 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 availables at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template
Papers can be submitted online at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=doceng23
You can use EasyChair at the link above to register, submit the abstract without a manuscript and then, return before the deadline for manuscripts, and submit the manuscript!
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.
Relevant Topics
We seek original contributions that are mainly focused on, but not necessarily limited to, the following topics:
| Relevant Topics | Relevant Topics |
|---|---|
| Collections, Systems, and Management AI in document processing and management Storage, indexing, retrieval, deduplication, cleansing Enterprise content management: models and standards, scale and performance Digital libraries: and archives preservation systems Massive collections of documents Systems and algorithms for safe and efficient document processing Scalable distributed document processing Modelling and Representation Document models and structures: multimedia objects, graphs, trees, streams, adaptive and responsive documents, probabilistic documents Document representation and standards: interchange standards, markup languages, style sheets Document type representation, metadata Linked data and semantics enrichment, linking techniques and standards Collaborative documents and sharing economy Document internationalization, multilingual representations Versioning Generation, Manipulation, and Presentation Document authoring tools and systems Document presentation: algorithms and systems for typography, formatting and layout generation Automatically generated documents, content customization, variable printing Mobile platforms and documents Document transformation User Experience Navigation, search Usability, accessibility, readability, and aesthetics Collaborative authoring and editing, curation and annotation Workflows, integration, and interaction between human and automated processes Culture-dependent layouts |
Document Content Analysis* AI in document content analysis Structure and visual representation analysis Linguistic and semantic (content) analysis, categorization, classification, clustering Automated tagging, named entity disambiguation, semantic linking, automatic image captioning OCR Error correction Systems for Visual Document Analysis* Historical document processing Handwritten character recognition Recognition of images, equations, drawings, music scores and other content in document images and layout description languages Recovery and assessing document quality from distortions and defects such as tears or blemishes Security Documents and privacy Secure document workflows, policy, and access, security for mobile and printing devices Security printing, including document identification, tagging and meta-data Cyber-physical document workflows, especially electronic/print options, including 3D printing workflows* Applications Digital humanities Digital preservation/archiving Open Science Education eBooks and digital publishing Web applications and systems Mobile applications |
* 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 2023 and be published in the DocEng 2023 Proceedings. Each workshop paper must have at least one workshop registration (of either category) to be presented at the workshop.
Important ACM Note
- By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM's new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.”
- Please ensure that you and your co-authors obtain an ORCID ID, so you can complete the publishing process for your accepted paper. ACM has been involved in ORCID from the start and we have recently made a commitment to collect ORCID IDs from all of our published authors. The collection process has started and will roll out as a requirement throughout 2022. We are committed to improve author discoverability, ensure proper attribution and contribute to ongoing community efforts around name normalization; your ORCID ID will help in these efforts.”
