The 26th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng'26) seeks original research papers that advance the state of the art in computational creation and processing of documents as structured, multifaceted information objects. The notion of document covers text, images, equations, tables, diagrams, musical scores and other notations, both in current and historical documents. DocEng focuses on the principles, models, technologies, and tools that enable the design, creation, processing, transformation, management, and use of documents and document collections. This includes aspects of security, interoperability, reliability, accessibility, and human factors in this field.
Attendees at this international forum share an interest in treating documents as engineered artifacts that underpin trustworthy communication, effective knowledge exchange, cultural preservation, and innovation across diverse domains. In 2026, ACM DocEng will be held in Fribourg, Switzerland.
