Document engineering is the computer science discipline that investigates systems for documents in any form
and in all media. As with the relationship between software engineering and software, document engineering
is concerned with principles, tools and processes that
improve our ability to create, manage and maintain documents.
The ACM Symposium on Document Engineering
is an annual meeting of researchers active in document engineering:
it is sponsored by ACM by means of the ACM SIGWEB; Special Interest Group.
DocEng 2009 is the ninth edition, after previous anual meetings at São Paulo (Brazil), Winnipeg (Canada),
Amsterdam (NL), Bristol (UK), Milwaukee-WI (USA), Grenoble (France), McLean-VA (USA),
and the first one, in Atlanta-GA (USA). All previous
DocEng Proceedings are available at the ACM Digital Library. Further information is available at the
http://www.documentengineering.org web site.
Researchers are invited to submit papers and to attend DocEng 2009:

The authors of the best papers presented at DocEng
2009 will be invited to present an extended version of their publication within a Special Issue of the Journal of Computer
Science - Research and Development, published by Springer. Following submissions have been nominated for the Best Paper Award (in order of appearance in the Proceedings):
- Sebastian Rönnau, Geraint Philipp and Uwe M. Borghoff. Efficient Change Control of XML Documents
- David Brailsford. Automated Re-typesetting, Indexing and Content Enhancement for Scanned Marriage Registers
- Nathan Hurst, Wilmot Li and Kim Marriott. Review of Automatic Document Formatting
- Thiago Nunes, Fabio Giannetti, Mariana Kolberg, Rafael Nemetz, Alexis Cabeda and Luiz Gustavo Fernandes. Job Profiling in High Performance Printing
The best paper has been elected using a combined expert/public vote and went to Sebastian Rönnau, Geraint Philipp and Uwe M. Borghoff for their work on Efficient Change Control of XML Documents. The award amounts to 1000 USD.
