The Eighth IAPR Workshop on Document Analysis Systems will be held in Nara, Japan. DAS '08 will build on the tradition of past workshops held in Kaiserslautern, Germany (1994), Malvern, PA (1996), Nagano, Japan (1998), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2000), Princeton, NJ (2002), Florence, Italy (2004), and Nelson, New Zealand (2006).
include, but are not limited to:
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.
We are soliciting original and unpublished contributions.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 (about USD100) per extra page.
If authors would like to submit more recent results that are too late to be submitted as a regular paper, they can be submitted as an extended abstract. Authors who are interested in presenting a demo are requested to submit their demo abstract. 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. Note that authors of extended abstracts and demo abstracts have no chance to revise their papers; they will be included in the handout as they are if they are accepted.
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 posted on the web site. Note that multi-byte fonts should be embedded in your manuscript PDF files. Otherwise, your manuscript is garbled and cannot be reviewed.
The way of submission depends on the type of manuscripts.
The paper format is the IEEE 8.5" x 11", two-column format. Download the following instructions and prepare your paper. Author names and affiliations should be included in the paper because the reviewing will be single blind. The formatted paper should be transformed into a PDF file for submission.
