DocEng 2004 Submission Instructions

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered in another forum.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.)
