Document engineering is an emerging discipline within computer science that investigates sys-tems for documents in any form and in all media. Document engineering is concerned with prin-ciples, tools and processes that improve our ability to create, manage and maintain documents, just as software engineering examines the same issues for software.The importance of documents and document technology is difficult to over-emphasize. Docu-ment software was one of the key reasons for the widespread adoption of personal computers. Document technology is one of the key underpinnings of the World Wide Web, in the form of representation languages, concepts of structure and hypermedia, and analysis and retrieval tech-niques. Document technology is so useful that it is now being extended to support applications such as interprocess communication that have previously used special-purpose encodings and techniques.This proceedings is the research record of the inaugural meeting of the ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng '01), held November 2001 in Atlanta. DocEng '01 is the de-scendant of several different conferences: the long series of biennial Electronic Publishing (EP) conferences and Principles of Document Processing workshops, the 1988 ACM Conference on Document Processing Systems, and the 1981 ACM Symposium on Text Manipulation.
