We are pleased to announce that the 13th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng) will be held in Florence, Italy. DocEng 2013 will build on the tradition of past symposia previously held around the world including Paris (2012), Mountain View (2011), Manchester (2010) and Munich (2009). The ACM Symposium on Document Engineering provides an annual international forum for presentations and discussions on principles, tools and processes that improve our ability to create, manage and maintain documents. It is sponsored by ACM by means of the ACM SIGWEB Special Interest Group. All DocEng Proceedings are available through the ACM Digital Library. Researchers in both academia and industry are invited to submit papers and to attend DocEng 2013.
