CALL FOR PAPERS
===============
DChanges 2014 is the second edition of the International
Workshop on (Document) Changes: Modeling, Detection, Storage
and Visualization in conjunction with the ACM Symposium on
Document Engineering. This year, the workshop will be held in
Fort Collins, near Denver, Colorado in September 2014.
The goal of this series of events is to share ideas, common
issues and principles about models and algorithms for change
tracking and detection, versioning and collaborative editing.
We want to look at these topics from different perspectives
and want to identify the most common issues and the
peculiarities of each domain and each approach. The workshop
aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from
industry and academia, to discuss these issues in an informal
setting and to foster collaboration among them.
The 2014 edition will be focused on the interpretation,
visualisation and exploitation of changes. One of last
edition's outcomes was that we identified the need for novel
interfaces to better understand and exploit detected changes.
Several issues were pointed out as still unsolved: interfaces
do not scale when dealing with many changes, changes at
different levels of abstraction are often not sufficiently
taken into account, detection and visualisation are often
inter-mixed, logs are often detailed but underexploited, and
versioning techniques are not very well suited for
non-technical people.
Submissions on other topics are also welcome. We also seek
contributions on, but not necessarily limited to:
* Diffing and change tracking algorithms
* Detecting changes on
complex data structures
* High-level differences
* Change modeling and
representation
* Novel approaches to
tree-based diff
* Detecting changes on trees,
graphs, diagrams and any kind of document
* Edit-distance measures
* Quality of deltas and
patches
* Editing patterns
* Semantic diff
* Merging
* Management of update
conflicts
* N-way merge algorithms
* Propagation of changes
* Applications
* Applications of diff
techniques from and to other domains
* software
engineering, ontology management, humanities, law, medicine
* Versioning systems
* Collaborative editors
Program
--------
The workshop will run a full day, and be divided in two parts,
in order to emphasize both theoretical/algorithmic aspects and
practical applications. Ample space will be given to peer
discussions and brainstorming about the results of the
presentations and the ideas brought forth by participants.
A detailed schedule will be announced in July.
Proceedings
-----------
We will publish workshop post-proceedings in the ACM
International Conference Proceedings Series.
Authors are required to submit an extended abstract (2-4 pages
long) that will undergo a single bling review process.
Accepted extended abstracts will be available during the
workshop. The best extended abstracts will also be included in
the DocEng proceedings.
Full papers (4-8 pages long) are due after the workshop and
will be included in the post-proceedings.
Important Dates
---------------
Authors are required to submit an extended abstract before the
workshop and a full paper after the workshop:
* Extended Abstracts (2-4 pages) are due: June 6th
* Acceptance notice: July 4th
* Camera ready: July 20th
* Workshop: September 16th
* Full papers are due (4-8 pages): October 3rd
* Acceptance notice: October 24th
* Camera ready: November 14th
Paper submission
----------------
Papers must be submitted to the EasyChair site (available
soon).
Two types of submissions are possible:
* Application/demo notes: showcasing systems or tools
** Extended abstract: 2 pages long
** Full paper: 4 pages long
* Research papers: describing original and unpublished
research
** Extended abstract: 4 pages long
** Full paper: 8 pages long
All papers must conform to the ACM SIG Proceedings format. All
submissions will undergo a rigorous single blind review
process.
