Documents are one of the centerpieces of globally interconnected systems that store information drawn from many media and deliver that information as required by users. A document may be stored in final presentation form or may be generated on-the-fly, undergoing substantial transformations in the process. Documents may include extensive hyperlinks, thereby permitting virtual documents, and also making 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 part because of the way these technologies bridge and integrate a variety of paradigms.

The ACM Symposium on Document Engineering is an annual international academic conference devoted to the dissemination of research on models, tools and processes that improve our ability to create, manage and maintain documents.

DocEng 2007, the seventh annual meeting, seeks high-quality, original papers, posters and demonstrations that address the theory, design, development, and evaluation of computer systems that support the creation, analysis, and distribution of and interaction with documents in any medium.

DocEng 2007 will be held at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada from August 28 - 31, 2007.
