5th International Workshop on

(Document) Changes: Modeling, Detection, Storage and Visualization


http://diff.cs.unibo.it/dchanges2018/

Part of 18th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering


Halifax, Canada, August 28th, 2018


CALL FOR PAPERS
===============


*DChanges 2018* is the fifth edition of the *International Workshop on (Document) Changes: Modeling, Detection, Storage and Visualization*, held in conjunction with the 18th ACM SIGWEB International Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng 2018). This year, the workshop will take place in Halifax, Canada, August 28th, 2018.

This year, we would like to *focus on collaboration tools for non-textual documents*. Three well known examples are images, videos and audio files. Other, more specialized types of documents, are, for instance, genetic sequences.

The development of collaboration tools for non-textual documents requires a new body of knowledge. Our current definition of "document'' has to be reviewed, and the technical way in which the analysis of documents is carried out must also change. Research on these topics is emerging and we would like to stimulate and promote it even further.

At DChanges, researchers and practitioners discuss and explore the state of the art in the field of document changes. The aim of the workshop is the study of changes in all its aspects and applications: algorithms to detect changes, models to describe changes, techniques to track changes, tools to understand and manage changes, etc.

We want to look at these topics from different perspectives, and take on different approaches. The workshop brings together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. It is a unique occasion to discuss these issues in an informal setting and to foster collaboration.
