      I wasn't able to attend, but perhaps this year in Denver? We will
      see...

          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

          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.
