Please excuse cross-postings Call for Papers 2nd International Symposium on Computer Music Modeling and Retrieval CMMR 2004 Esbjerg, Denmark, May 26-29, 2004 http://www.cs.aue.auc.dk/cmmr2004 cmmr2004(a)cs.aue.auc.dk BACKGROUND The use of computers in music is well established. CMMR 2004 provides an opportunity to meet and interact with peers concerned with the cross-influence of the technological and creative in computer music. The field of computer music is interdisciplinary by nature and closely related to a number of computer science and engineering areas such as information retrieval, programming, human computer interaction, digital libraries, hypermedia, artificial intelligence, acoustics, signal processing, etc. CMMR 2004 invites researchers, educators, composers, performers, and others with an interest in important aspects of computer music (including modeling, retrieval, analysis, and synthesis) to come join us for a unique event. TOPICS Original contributions on the following (and other relevant) topics are encouraged: infrastructures for music - music digital libraries modeling - representation and language modeling - distributed system infrastructures indexing and retrieval of music - metadata - standards - protocols - query languages - advanced information retrieval structuring of music data - hypermedia - structural computing collaboration on music - computer supported cooperative work analysis, recognition, comparison, classification, and modeling of music - pattern recognition - signal processing - algoritmics - parsing mining and visualizing music - data mining - visualization synthesis (composition) of music - models for synthesis - automated composition user interfaces for music - human computer interaction FORMAT The symposium will be structured in a traditional manner with paper presentations. However, there will also be scheduled time for presentation of computer musical compositions. SUBMISSIONS Submissions may have any of the following forms: Full paper (7 - 10 pages) Short paper (3 - 5 pages) Computer musical compositions All papers will be reviewed by the program committee and accepted papers will be published after the symposium as post-event proceedings in the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. IMPORTANT DATES Full papers due March 1, 2004 Short papers due March 1, 2004 Musical pieces due March 1, 2004 Acceptance notification April 1, 2004 Symposium May 26-29, 2004 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Symposium Chair Uffe Kock Wiil, Aalborg University Esbjerg, Denmark Proceedings Chair Stefania Serafin, Aalborg University Esbjerg, Denmark Local Arrangements and Publicity Uffe Kock Wiil, Aalborg University Esbjerg, Denmark Stefania Serafin, Aalborg University Esbjerg, Denmark Jens Arnspang, Aalborg University Esbjerg, Denmark PROGRAM COMMITTEE Program Chair Richard Kronland-Martinet, CNRS - LMA, Marseille, France Music Selection Chair Lars Graugaard, Aalborg University Esbjerg, Denmark Program Committee Members Jens Arnspang, Aalborg University Esbjerg, Denmark Philippe Depalle, McGill University, Montreal, Canada Barry Eaglestone, University of Sheffield, UK Anders Friberg, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweeden Goffredo Haus, University of Milan, Italy David L.
