ACM CONFERENCE ON DOCUMENT PROCESSING SYSTEMS
Sante Fe, New Mexico
December 5 - 9, 1988
*** Revised -- Submission dates now June 10 ***
The ACM Conference on Document Processing Systems is sponsored by the
Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Groups on Graphics
(SIGGRAPH), Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI), and Office Information Systems
(SIGOIS), in cooperation with the Los Alamos National Laboratory and SIGIR
(Special Interest Group on Information Retrieval).
This inaugural, international conference examines the theory, development, and
application of document processing systems for generating, disseminating,
searching, and viewing information.
It will bring together researchers, developers, and users in the hopes that the
field's broad reaching interdisciplinary diversity will foster a rich exchange
of ideas and information that will help define the state-of-the-art and future
directions in document processing systems. One full day of courses will
precede the conference, and technical tours will follow.
Without the following key concepts and technologies, document processing would
be very different: distributed computing systems including workstation,
bitmapped displays and pointing devices; document preparation systems including
digital typography, electronic printing, laser printers and page description
languages; hypertext and hypermedia systems; social adaptation of and to
electronic media; document bases; and linguistic tools.
Document processing also encompasses the support for and management of the
document production process, through collaborative systems, shared information
spaces, multimedia documents, document release management tools, and
distribution through electronic networks and various storage media such as bar
codes, floppy and CD-ROM disks.
You are invited to submit a paper, a proposal for a course, or a panel on
Document Processing, which might be represented by these phases:
* Document creation, either by writing and editing at workstations or by
scanning and recognizing existing documents
* Document production, where editors, reviewers, designers, typesetters, and
others contribute to the presentation of the document
* Document dissemination, where readers access or retrieve documents in
either printed hardcopy or online electronic form
Technical papers, courses, and demonstrations are encouraged to address the
following:
* Foundations, formalisms, languages and grammars for document
representation
* Collaborative writing and document production process, social issues of
document systems
* System architectures, standards, and document interchange issues
* Hypertext and hypermedia, document structure, multimedia audio-visual
documents
* Document filing, document bases, indexing, retrieval, archiving
* Illustration, graphic design and typography for electronic documents
* Electronic publishing, CD-ROM publishing, electronic printing, desktop
publishing
* What's next?

Absract: Human infants are linguistically and experientially immature and
yet they show evidence of complex cognitive judgments some of which might be
thought solely to be in the province of language users. Examples of these are
"metaphorical" recognition of similarities between physically dissimilar
events and the recognition of objects presented separately to different
modalities. Evidence for these abilities and a putative amodal code that
subserves them will be presented along with a model of visual recognition
memory that can serve as a useful metric for quantifying the rate of
information-processing of infants of varying ages. Concurrrent validity for
the model will be examined by comparing performances of infants of varying
ages under different experimental conditions and by comparing these results
to those obtained from infants born under medically compromising conditions
such as birth asphyxia, intraventricular hemorrhage and severe prematurity.
