The 26th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering

August 25, 2026 to August 28, 2026
HES-SO / University of Fribourg, Switzerland

Call for Workshop & Tutorial Proposals

Help DocEng bring new and exciting areas of research to the document engineering community by proposing a workshop or tutorial!

As in previous years, we plan to hold one day of tutorials and workshops before the start of the main conference. We would like to distinguish between tutorials and workshops. Workshops provide a setting in which to develop visions and exchange ideas in a specialized field of interest. Tutorials are held by a domain expert and introduce a current topic of interest to symposium attendees. Tutorials can provide a survey of recent literature on the topic, and/or a graduate-level treatment of the topic.

DocEng is looking for workshops and tutorials that are cutting edge, accessible to a wide audience, and delivered by world-class speakers. Workshop and tutorial proposals in all areas of document engineering are encouraged, especially those related to the conference theme: Document Engineering in the Era of AI and Sustainability.

Workshops and tutorials will be held on Tuesday, August 25, 2026.

Tutorial Proposal Requirements

Each tutorial proposal must include:

  1. Title of the tutorial
  2. Organizer name(s) along with contact information, short biography, and selected publications
  3. Description of the tutorial and duration: half-day (3 hours) or full day (6 hours)
  4. A description of previous tutorial experience and past versions of the tutorial
  5. Rationale for the tutorial including the importance, timeliness, and novelty of the tutorial and how it can introduce new tools, ideas, and topics to the document engineering community
  6. Outline of the tutorial (e.g., will it have a single speaker, a laboratory component) and description of material to be presented
