International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL), which started in Hong Kong in 1998 and over the years traveled many countries in the Asia-Pacific region, is known as a major digital library conference. Along with JCDL and TPDL, ICADL is held annually as one of the three top venues for connecting digital library, computer science, and library and information science communities. This year ICADL will be held online from December 1st to 3rd, 2021 (JST time zone), same as last year. Doctoral consortium will also be held with Asia-Pacific Chapter of iSchools (AP-iSchools) collaboration. Under the COVID-19 pandemic, we have learned that online opportunities give us new normal lifestyle. We believe that new and fair innovations, mechanisms, are systems are necessary towards realizing Open and Trustworthy Digital Societies. The theme for ICADL 2021 is " Towards Open and Trustworthy Digital Societies ". ICADL 2021 will provide an opportunity for researchers from not only Asia-Pacific regions but also all over the world to exchange and discuss their ideas together across different domains to achieve innovative digital information environment especially during this pandemic time. Attendees can join ICADL for free of charge! Registration is still required prior to the conference.
Proceedings of ICADL 2021 will be published by Springer as an LNCS volume, which is indexed by Scopus. This year, we have the following three submission categories: full research papers, short research papers, and practice papers. Note that there will be no demo or poster submissions. We encourage potential authors who will submit posters or demos to extend their work to short paper format, which is at most 6 pages.
If there is any interest for organizing workshops, tutorial, and panel sessions with ICADL 2021, we will consider them on request. Please contact conference organizers (icadl2021 at easychair.org<mailto:icadl2021 at easychair.org>) with your proposal. The information about the accepted events will put on the conference website and we will encourage attendees to join the events.
The Best Paper and the Best Student Paper will be awarded by Program Committee among the accepted full papers. Same as in the last year, selected best papers will be invited for a special issue to be published with the International Journal on Digital Libraries (IJDL), Springer.
