AIM OF THE SYMPOSIUM
--------------------
ADCS 2014 is an opportunity for researchers and practitioners in
document management and information retrieval to meet and present
their work. The symposium aims to cover all aspects of Document
Computing - issues ranging from the fundamentals of document
architectures and standards for markup, through storage, management,
retrieval, authentication and workflow, to active and virtual
documents. The symposium emphasises both commercial and academic
issues by encouraging a variety of submissions.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------
The symposium topics include (but are not restricted to) the
following:
- Cognitive Aspects of Documents
- Digital Libraries
- Document Databases
- Document Standards (XML, SGML, etc.)
- Document Summarisation
- Enterprise Search 
- Evaluation
- Information Retrieval
- Multimedia Document Management
- Multimedia Resource Discovery
- Natural Language Techniques and Documents
- Personalised Documents
- Retrieval Models and Ranking
- Search Engine Architectures and Scalability
- User Studies Involving Documents
- Web Documents
- Web Search

SUBMISSIONS
-----------
All submissions must be original work, not previously published
elsewhere, and not currently submitted to any other conference or
journal. Electronic copies of accepted papers will be made available
through the ACM Digital Library as part of the ICPS
collection. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically, in PDF
format and formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates available
at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. 

Full papers have a maximum of length of 8 pages including all
references, and short papers have a maximum length of 4 pages including
references. All submissions will be fully refereed using a single blind
refereeing process, at their full published length, and will comply with
DEST criteria for fully-refereed conference papers (category E1). Papers
will be submitted using Easy Chair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=adcs20140

Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should
the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the
symposium to present the work. Note also that it is insufficient for an
author to register and pay for the symposium to be regarded as
fulfilling this obligation.  Authors of accepted papers will have to
sign the ACM rights management form to comply with publication in the
ACM digital library. For more information see the ACM authors page.

FULL PAPERS
-----------
Full papers should describe new contributions or analyse research
issues. Submissions should be at most eight pages long (around 4000
words); over-length submissions risk immediate rejection. Refer to the
guidelines for papers for details of the required format.

POSTERS, SHORT PAPERS AND INDUSTRY STATUS REPORTS
-------------------------------------------------
To encourage participation by industry and to provide a place for work
of a more speculative nature, ADCS invites submissions for short
papers, up to a maximum of four pages (around 2000 words). A typical
proposal might describe a leading-edge solution to a practical problem
in document management. Short papers follow the same format as for
full papers.

STUDENT TRAVEL GRANTS
---------------------
Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, students will be able
to receive travel support to attend and present at ADCS 2014.
