| Time | Session | Abstract | Presented by |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3:00 PM | Domain-specific Modelling in Document Engineering | Domain-Specific Modelling raises the level of abstraction beyond current programming languages by specifying the solution directly using problem domain concepts. The final artifacts needed, such as code, tests, reports, protocols, configuration files and documents are then generated from these high-level specifications. This automation is possible because both the modelling language and generators need fit the requirements of a narrow domain — often inside only one company. This tutorial describes Domain-Specific Modelling approach and demonstrates the practical benefits of applying it to modelling business / automation processes where documents are used. It describes the process of creating your modelling solution along with examples. | Verislav Djukic and Juha-Pekka Tolvanen |
| 3:00 PM | Document Engineering Issues in Malware Analysis | We present an overview of the field of malware analysis with emphasis on issues related to document engineering. We will introduce the field with a discussion of the types of malware, including executable binaries, malicious PDFs, polymorphic malware, ransomware, and exploit kits. We will conclude with our view of important research questions in the field. This is an updated version of tutorials presented in previous years, with more information about newly-available tools.

Birds of a Feather
Charles Nicholas will serve as chair of this year's Birds of a Feather (BoaF) session. We invite you to go to the bof-general Slack channel or message Charles Nicholas on Slack with ideas or suggestions for discussion. The only constraint is that the topic must have some relationship to Document Engineering. These suggestions will be boiled down to a few specific topics, and shared with the participants a day or so before the conference. We'll use Zoom to set up meeting spaces for those who want to take part in one or more BoaF discussions. Each session will have the chance to give a brief (two minutes) presentation on the last day of the conference.
A message from Charles:
Greetings, DocEng 2021 Participants!
It is once again my privilege to serve as chair of this year's Birds of a Feather (BoaF) session. As such, I invite you to email me (Charles Nicholas nicholas@umbc.edu) with ideas or suggestions for discussion.
We already have two BoaF topics:
- How to get a book published in Document Engineering
- Tensor methods in Document Engineering
Other topics are welcome, up to the designated time, near the end of the first day of the conference, as shown in the conference program . Each group will have the chance to give a brief (two minutes) presentation on the last day of the conference.
So, put your thinking caps on! Let me hear from you!
Thanks! Charles
Presentation Guidelines for Authors
DocEng'21 will hold four live sessions on each day of the conference, starting with the Tutorials on the 24th of August.
In order to facilitate an on-time schedule, we are requiring authors to pre-record their presentations. Long papers will have 10 minutes for their presentation recording with 5 minutes for a live Q&A. Short papers will have 7 minutes for their presentation recording with 3 minutes for a live Q&A.
There are several video conferencing tools available to easily record a presentation. In this method, you can show your face via webcam and display your slides as you talk. You can use any meeting software as long as you get a good quality recording and your final file is in the MP4 format. Here are some links to instructions on recording a meeting on common platforms:
- Google Meet: Record a video meeting - Meet Help (https://support.google.com/meet/answer/9308681?hl=en)
