JCDL 2013 CALL FOR PAPERS AND PROPOSALS
The ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL 2013) is a
major international forum focusing on digital libraries and associated
technical, practical, organizational, and social issues. JCDL
encompasses the many meanings of the term digital libraries, including
(but not limited to) new forms of information institutions and
organizations; operational information systems with all manner of
digital content; new means of selecting, collecting, organizing,
distributing, and accessing digital content; theoretical models of
information media, including document genres and electronic publishing;
and theory and practice of use of managed content in science and education.
JCDL 2013 will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana (USA), 23-25 July 2013.
The program is organized by an international committee of scholars and
leaders in the digital libraries field and attendance is expected to
include several hundreds of researchers, practitioners, managers, and
students.

CONFERENCE FOCUS
The intended community for this conference includes those interested in
all aspects of digital libraries such as infrastructure; institutions;
metadata; content; services; digital preservation; system design;
scientific data management; workflows; implementation; interface design;
human-computer interaction; performance evaluation; usability
evaluation; collection development; intellectual property; privacy;
electronic publishing; document genres; multimedia; social,
institutional, and policy issues; user communities; and associated
theoretical topics. JCDL welcomes submissions in these areas.
Submissions that resonate with the JCDL 2013 theme of Digital Libraries
at the Crossroads are particularly welcome; however, reviews, though
they will consider relevance of proposals to digital libraries
generally, will not give extra weight to theme-related proposals over
proposals that speak to other aspects of digital libraries. The
conference sessions, workshops and tutorials will cover all aspects of
digital libraries.
Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full
range of established and emerging disciplines and professions including
computer science, information science, web science, data science,
librarianship, data management, archival science and practice, museum
studies and practice, information technology, medicine, social sciences,
education and humanities. Representatives from academe, government,
industry, and others are invited to participate.
JCDL 2013 invites submissions of papers and proposals for posters,
demonstrations, tutorials, and workshops that will make the conference
an exciting and creative event to attend. As always, the conference
welcomes contributions from all the fields that intersect to enable
digital libraries. Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Collaborative and participatory information environments
* Cyberinfrastructure architectures, applications, and deployments
* Data mining/extraction of structure from networked information
* Digital library and Web Science curriculum development
* Distributed information systems
* Extracting semantics, entities, and patterns from large collections
* Evaluation of online information environments
* Impact and evaluation of digital libraries and information in education
* Information and knowledge systems
* Information policy and copyright law
* Information visualization
* Interfaces to information for novices and experts
* Linked data and its applications
* Personal digital information management
* Retrieval and browsing
* Scientific data curation, citation and scholarly publication
* Social media, architecture, and applications
* Social networks, virtual organizations and networked information
* Social-technical perspectives of digital information
* Studies of human factors in networked information
* Theoretical models of information interaction and organization
* User behavior and modeling
* Visualization of large-scale information environments
* Web archiving and preservation
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Paper authors may choose between two formats: Full papers and short
papers. Both formats will be included in the proceedings and will be
presented at the conference. Full papers typically will be presented in
20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Short papers
typically will be presented in 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions
and discussion. Both formats will be rigorously peer reviewed. Complete
papers are required -- abstracts and incomplete papers will not be reviewed.
Full papers report on mature work, or efforts that have reached an
important milestone. Short papers will highlight efforts that might be
in an early stage, but are important for the community to be made aware
of. Short papers can also present theories or systems that can be
described concisely in the limited space.
Full papers must not exceed 10 pages. Short papers are limited to at
most 4 pages. All papers must be original contributions. The material
must therefore not have been previously published or be under review for
publication elsewhere. All contributions must be written in English and
must follow the ACM http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html
formatting guidelines (templates available for authoring in LaTex2e and
Microsoft Word). Papers are to be submitted via the conference's
EasyChair submission page:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl13.
All accepted papers will be published by ACM as conference proceedings
and electronic versions will be included in both the ACM and IEEE
digital libraries.
POSTER AND DEMONSTRATION SUBMISSIONS
Posters permit presentation of late-breaking results in an informal,
interactive manner. Poster proposals should consist of a title, extended
abstract, and contact information for the authors, and should not exceed
2 pages. Proposals must follow the conference's formatting guidelines
and are to be submitted via the conference's EasyChair submission page:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl13. Accepted posters will
be displayed at the conference and may include additional materials,
space permitting. Abstracts of posters will appear in the proceedings.
Demonstrations showcase innovative digital libraries technology and
applications, allowing you to share your work directly with your
colleagues in a high-visibility setting. Demonstration proposals should
consist of a title, extended abstract, and contact information for the
authors and should not exceed 2 pages. All contributions must be written
in English and must follow the ACM
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html formatting guidelines
(templates available for authoring in LaTex2e and Microsoft Word), and
are to be submitted via the conference's EasyChair submission page:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl13. Abstracts of
demonstrations will appear in the proceedings.
PANELS AND INVITED BRIEFINGS
Panels and invited briefings will complement the other portions of the
program with lively discussions of controversial and cutting-edge issues
that are not addressed by other program elements. Invited briefing
panels will be developed by the Panel co-chairs David Bainbridge
(davidb at cs.waikato.ac.nz) and George Buchanan
(George.Buchanan.1 at city.ac.uk) and will be designed to address a topic
of particular interest to those building digital libraries -- they can
be thought of as being mini-tutorials. Panel ideas may be stimulated or
developed in part from synergistic paper proposals (with consensus of
involved paper proposal submitters).
This year stand-alone formal proposals for panels also will be accepted
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl13); however, please
keep in mind that panel sessions are few and so relatively few panel
proposals will be accepted. Panel proposals should include a panel
title, identify all panel participants (maximum 5), include a short
abstract as well as an uploaded extended abstract in PDF (not to exceed
2 pages) describing the panel topic, how the panel will be organized,
the unique perspective that each speaker brings to the topic, and an
explicit confirmation that each speaker has indicated a willingness to
participate in the session if the proposal is accepted. For more
information about potential panel proposals, please contact the Panel
co-chairs named above.
TUTORIAL SUBMISSIONS
Tutorials provide an opportunity to offer in-depth education on a topic
or solution relevant to research or practice in digital libraries. They
should address a single topic in detail over either a half-day or a full
day. They are not intended to be venues for commercial product training.
Experts who are interested in engaging members of the community who may
not be familiar with a relevant set of technologies or concepts should
plan their tutorials to cover the topic or solution to a level that
attendees will have sufficient knowledge to follow and further pursue
the material beyond the tutorial. Leaders of tutorial sessions will be
expected to take an active role in publicizing and recruiting attendees
for their sessions.
Tutorial proposals should include: a tutorial title; an abstract (1-2
paragraphs, to be used in conference programs); a description or topical
outline of tutorial (1-2 paragraphs, to be used for evaluation);
duration (half- or full-day); expected number of participants; target
audience, including level of experience (introductory, intermediate,
advanced); learning objectives; a brief biographical sketch of the
presenter(s); and contact information for the presenter(s).
Tutorial proposals are to be submitted in electronic form via the
conference's EasyChair submission page:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl13.
WORKSHOP SUBMISSIONS
Workshops are intended to draw together communities of interest -- both
those in established communities and those interested in discussion and
exploration of a new or emerging issue. They can range in format from
formal, perhaps centering on presentation of refereed papers, to
informal, perhaps centering on an extended round-table discussions among
the selected participants.
Submissions should include: a workshop title and short description; a
statement of objectives for the workshop; a topical outline for the
workshop; identification of the expected audience and expected number of
attendees; a description of the planned format and duration (half-day,
full-day, or one and a half day); information about how the attendees
will be identified, notified of the workshop, and, if necessary,
selected from among applicants; as well as contact and biographical
information about the organizers. Finally, if a workshop or closely
related workshop has been held previously, information about the earlier
sessions should be provided -- dates, locations, outcomes, attendance, etc.
Workshop proposals are to be submitted in electronic form via the
conference's EasyChair submission page:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl13.
DOCTORAL SUBMISSIONS
The Doctoral Consortium is a workshop for Ph.D. students from all over
the world who are in the early phases of their dissertation work.
Ideally, students should have written or be close to completing a thesis
proposal, and be far enough away from finishing the thesis that they can
make good use of feedback received during the consortium.
Students interested in participating in the Doctoral Consortium should
submit an extended abstract describing their digital library research.
Submissions relating to any aspect of digital library research,
development, and evaluation are welcomed, including: technical advances,
usage and impact studies, policy analyses, social and institutional
implications, theoretical contributions, interaction and design
advances, and innovative applications in the sciences, humanities, and
education. See http://jcdl2013.org/doctoral-consortium for a more
extensive description of the goals of the Doctoral Consortium and for
complete proposal requirements.
Doctoral consortium proposals are to be submitted via the conference's
EasyChair submission page: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl13
