The Eighth IAPR International Workshop on Document Analysis Systems will be held in Nara, Japan.
Dates: September 17-19, 2008 Venue: Nara Prefectural New Public Hall http://www.pref.nara.jp/koukaido-e/, Nara, Japan
=== Topics of Interest ===
include, but are not limited to:
* Complete, working document analysis systems * Document image processing for the Internet * Camera-based document image analysis * Learning and classification methodologies for document analysis systems * Document analysis for digital libraries * Information extraction from document images * Recognition of historical documents * Multimedia document analysis * Performance evaluation * Document image retrieval systems * Algorithms for graphics recognition * Document reformatting * Document databases * Systems architecture * Multilingual documents * Algorithms for layout analysis * Table and form analysis
=== Workshop Format ===
DAS ’08 will be a 100% participation, single-track workshop with guest speakers, oral, poster, and demo sessions, working group discussions, and a banquet. Posters and demos will be introduced in short presentations to encourage the active participation of everyone. For the working group discussions, participants will be segmented into small groups, each of which will be assigned a topic of discussion. At the end of the workshop, results of the discussions will be summarized. The workshop proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press will be distributed at the workshop.
=== Paper Submissions ===
We are soliciting original and unpublished contributions. Regular papers must be accompanied by an abstract summarizing the contribution the paper makes to its field. Maximum regular paper length is 8 pages in the IEEE 8.5" x 11", two-column format and these papers will be included in the proceedings. Each regular paper may have up to 2 extra pages at JPY12,000 per extra page.
Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts (called “short paper” in the previous CFP) for results that are too late to be submitted as regular papers, and demo abstracts for demo presentations. Extended abstracts and demo abstracts should be 4 pages at most in the same format and will be included in the handout available at the workshop. Up to 4 extra pages can be added at an extra charge of JPY12,000.
Submission of a paper involves a commitment that, if accepted, one or more authors will attend and participate in the workshop. The manuscript, complete with illustrations and an abstract, must be sent as a PDF file following instructions that is posted on the web site.
