Abstract :
Welcome to the 2015 International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition in Nancy, France. It is truly an honor to host our premier conference. This conference was originally planned, and fully organized to take place in Tunis, Tunisia. Sadly, for safety reasons following the terrorist attacks in Tunisia, the conference was relocated to Nancy, France before less than two months. It is saddening that terrorism and obscurantism has its way and deprives the document analysis community from discovering the beautiful country and culture of Tunisia. You will always be welcome in Tunisia!
