First of all, I would like to thank those of you who already participated in our current survey on a potential Summer School in Document Analysis. If you did not do so, I would like to encourage you to give us your feedback on this interesting project by completing a short on-line survey (8 questions): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/T2S7S3P The results of the survey will be announced in the newsletter and on the TC-11 website later this year. Additionally, this edition brings to you the call for hosting DAS 2012, one of the major events organized by the TC-11 community. Looking forward to (maybe) meeting you at ICPR in Istanbul next week!

This may be a way for graduate students and others new to a specific research area to learn about the current state of the art. Such a summer school might last a week, and be connected with an existing conference or it may standalone. Complete our survey online at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/T2S7S3P ============================================================================ ========== Call for Hosting: DAS 2012 ====================================== Call for Proposals Nearly 100 members of the international research community gathered in Boston for the 9th IAPR International Workshop on Document Analysis Systems from June 9-11, 2010 (http://www.cubs.buffalo.edu/DAS2010/). The DAS workshop has become one of the signature events for TC-11, and DAS 2010 builds on the tradition established by past DAS workshops held in Kaiserslautern, Germany (1994), Malvern, PA (1996), Nagano, Japan (1998), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2000), Princeton, NJ (2002), Florence, Italy (2004), Nelson, New Zealand (2006), and Nara, Japan (2008). As usual after successfully concluding a DAS workshop, individuals and groups who are interested in Document Analysis Systems are now invited to submit proposals for organizing and hosting DAS 2012. The event should preferably take place in late summer or fall, but is not limited to this period. The call is now open! The submission deadline is December 31st, 2010. If you are interested in preparing a proposal, you may send an expression of interest to: Prof. Andreas Dengel (andreas.dengel@dfki.de) Please note that an expression of interest is not a commitment to make a formal proposal. If you need further information concerning DAS, please contact Prof. Andreas Dengel (andreas.dengel@dfki.de). The final selection among competing proposals will be made short after the deadline by the DAS Steering Committee, which is composed of all those who have themselves organized or contributed substantially to past DAS workshops. ============================================================================ ========== Call for Contributions ========================================== This newsletter needs your support in order to provide useful information to the TC11 community.
