Call for Papers
MAIN THEME
With the advent of the Internet, the past decades have seen a burgeoning of
digital libraries.
Researchers, scholars, and professionals have come to recognize the
importance of digital
libraries and the convenience they might bring to the society. As resource
sharing becomes
common, the focus of digital libraries has been shifted from the needs of
the academics to
major issues that involve both the general public and professionals of
diverse disciplines.
With the creation and the significant increase in the use of digital
content, the digital libraries
become essential not only in preserving the cultural heritage but in
educating the society as well.
The theme of the ICADL conference in 2012 - The Outreach of Digital
Libraries: a Globalized
Resource Network—reflects the raison d'ętre of a global digital library. By
pooling the knowledge
and experience around the world, it is genuinely hoped that a good network
of digital libraries
may come to fruition in this global era. We welcome and encourage the
submission of papers
for potential publication. Possible topics could include, but are not
restricted to, the following:
- Cloud computing and application
- Cooperative service and community service
- Cultural heritage preservation
- Cyberinfrastructure architectures for DL
- Electronic publishing
- Healthcare informatics
- Human factors in DL
- Impact and evaluation of DL
- Information policy and copyright
- Information visualization
- Retrieval and browsing in DL
- Interoperability and fusion of information
- Metadata and cataloguing
- Mobile services for DL
- Multi-language support
- Novel library content and use environments
- Open source tools and systems
- Personalized service and user modeling
- Preservation systems and algorithms
- Scientific data curation and citation
- Security and privacy
- Social media
- Social networking and information systems
- Systems, algorithms, and models for data preservation
- Technology standards for DL
- Visualization of large-scale information environment
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Authors may choose among three formats: Full papers, short papers and
posters. Three formats
will be included in the proceedings and will be presented at the
conference. Three formats will be
rigorously peer reviewed. Full papers report on mature work, or efforts
that have reached an important
milestone. Short papers will highlight efforts that might be in an early
stage, but are important for
the community to be made aware of. Short papers can also present theories
or systems that can
be described concisely in the limited space. Posters permit presentation of
late-breaking results
in an informal, interactive manner.
Full papers must not exceed 10 pages. Short papers are limited to at
most 4 pages. Posters
should not exceed 2 pages. All papers must be original contributions. The
material must therefore
not have been previously published or be under review for publication
elsewhere. All contributions
must be written in English and must follow the Springer's formatting
guidelines
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Papers are to be
submitted via the conference's
EasyChair submission page:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icadl2012
All accepted papers will be published by Springer’s Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series as
conference proceedings.

Call for Tutorial Proposals
We cordially invite experts interested in educating members of the digital
library community who are
unfamiliar with a relevant set of technologies or concepts to plan their
tutorials in the 14th International
Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL 2012).
The tutorial program aims at providing an opportunity to offer in-depth
education on a well-established
or “cutting-edge” topic relevant to research or practice in digital
libraries. It should address a single topic
conforming to the main theme and topics of the ICADL 2012. The tutorials
should cover the topic in either
a half-day or a full day, to a level that attendees will have sufficient
knowledge to follow and further pursue
the material beyond the tutorial. Leaders of the tutorial sessions will be
expected to take an active role
in publicizing and recruiting attendees for their sessions.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Tutorial proposals should include:
Part I: A 1-page extended abstract that includes the following information:
the tutorial title; the name,
affiliation, and contact details of the instructor(s); a description or
topical outline of the tutorial; the duration
(half- or full-day); the expected number of participants; the intended
audience and its level of experience
(introductory, intermediate, or advanced); and the learning objectives.
This extended abstract will appear
in the conference proceedings.
Part II: A full tutorial proposal that is at most 4 pages long and includes:
1. A description of the main topics to be covered in the tutorial;
2. Targeted audience and aims/objectives;
3. If relevant, a description of real-world systems, experiences, and/or
case studies to be discussed;
4. More information on the instructor, such as awards, Home page URL,
teaching experience, and previous
tutorial presentations (tutorial title, conference name, location,
year);
5. Any other information that will assist the Tutorial Co-Chairs and
Organizing Committee to adequately
review the tutorial proposal.
Tutorial proposals are to be submitted via the conference’s EasyChair
submission page:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icadl2012

Call for Workshop Proposals
We cordially invite researchers and professionals of the digital library
community who wish to draw together
groups interested in well-established or emerging topics to plan their
workshops in the 14th International
Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL 2012).
Workshop formats can range from formal, such as presentations of
refereed papers, to informal, such as
extended round-table discussions among the selected participants. The
organizers of accepted workshops
are required to announce the workshop and call for papers, solicit
submissions, conduct the reviewing
process, and decide upon the final workshop program.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Workshop proposals should include a 1-page extended abstract that contains
the following information:
the workshop title; the name, affiliation, and contact details of the
organizer(s); a description or topical

Call for Graduate Student Consortium Submissions
We cordially invite graduate students to submit extended abstracts to, and
participate in, the Graduate
Student Consortium of the 14th International Conference on Asia-Pacific
Digital Libraries (ICADL 2012).
The Graduate Student Consortium is intended for graduate students who
have a specific research
proposal and some preliminary results on digital library related issues,
but with sufficient time prior to
completing their theses or dissertations to benefit from the consortium
experience. The Consortium will
offer a critical but supportive opportunity for graduate students to
discuss their research in progress and
to receive feedback and advice.
Students interested in participating in the Graduate Student Consortium
should submit a 3-page
extended abstract describing their digital library research and clearly
stating the results already obtained
and plan for their theses or dissertations. Submissions relating to any
aspect of digital library research,
development, and evaluation are welcomed, especially those conforming to
the main theme and topics of
the ICADL 2012.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Students are asked to submit an extended abstract on their research.
Submissions must be in pdf and be
formatted according to the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS).
Submissions must be no longer than 3 pages. For details on the LNCS style,
