Upcoming W3C Workshop on Digital Publication Layout and Presentation (from Manga to Magazines), 18-19 September

Hello,

W3C is pleased to call for participation in a workshop:

     Digital Publication Layout and Presentation (from Manga to Magazines)
     September 18-19 2018, Tokyo, Japan
     https://www.w3.org/publishing/events/tokyo18-workshop/

Thanks to APL (Advanced Publishing Laboratory) of Keio Research 
Institute at SFC for hosting the workshop.

This workshop is intended to bring together experts to evaluate the 
current status and explore future directions of visually-rich long-form 
digital publications based on Web Technologies (particularly CSS, the 
formatting language of the Web), encompassing both fixed and dynamic 
layouts.

The tentative list of topics is as follows:

* Advanced layout using recent and upcoming CSS innovations, 
particularly for mobile and other devices (CSS grid, viewport units, 
media queries, css-shapes, etc.)
* “Smart transitions” for manga/comics including “Turbo Media” and other 
new forms
* Analysis of proprietary platforms in comics, magazines, and other 
verticals
* Comparison of image-dominated and text-dominated fixed-layout (and 
considerations for choosing reflowable vs. fixed representations, such 
as accessibility)
* Differences between rendering of fixed-layout EPUB in dedicated EPUB 
reading systems and typical browser rendering of HTML-SVG-CSS, and 
considerations for convergence
* Accessibility for high-design digital publications
* Innovative and interactive high-design digital publications
* Use of interactive features (e.g., scroll snap) of CSS for sequential art
* Programmatic (JavaScript) vs. declarative (HTML/CSS, SVG) representations
* Lessons learned from  IDPF efforts on advanced hybrid layout and page 
templates
* Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques as 
applied to content production (such as inferring CSS layouts from 
images) and accessibility (such as inferring reading order and other 
accessibility characteristics)
* Internationalization of high-design digital publications
* Print formatting of high-design publications via CSS
* Responsive design for long-form publications
* Possibilities afforded by emerging Web Fonts capabilities (chromatic 
fonts, variable fonts, etc.)
* Color management
