The rapid spread of Digital Libraries (DL) across the world motivates research in computer vision and especially in Document Image Analysis (DIA). The DL and DIA research community share common objectives, namely to digitize paper documents and convert them into electronic formats which can be preserved, retrieved, consulted, shared, and reused. Without computer assistance, manual processing of the large quantities of available digitized documents would be expensive and time consuming.

The DIA research community has developed many technologies applicable to digital libraries which are ripe to be collected, compared, and shared. DIAL'06 will bring together DL and DIA researchers, practitioners, and users who are interested in new technologies that assist the integration of digitized documents within DLs, so that, ideally, all documents that contribute to human knowledge can be easily accessed and queried by using Web based search engines.
