SMC 2009 will<br>feature papers, posters, music works, tutorials and special sessions.<br><br><br>= Important dates:<br>. Paper, Music and Tutorials submission deadline: Friday 17 April 2009<br>. [LATE DEADLINE] Deadline for participation to special sessions:<br>Monday 8 June 2009<br><br><br>Sound and Music Computing is an interdisciplinary field that<br>approaches the whole sound and music communication chain from a<br>multidisciplinary point of view.<br>By combining scientific, technological and artistic methodologies it<br>aims at understanding, modeling and generating sound and music through<br>computational approaches. Its core academic subjects relate to<br>musicology, physics (acoustics), engineering (including computer<br>science, signal processing and electronics),<br>psychology (including psychoacoustics, experimental psychology and<br>neurosciences) and music composition.<br><br>Topics will include:<br>. Automatic music generation/accompaniment systems<br>. Computer environments for sound/music processing/composition<br>. Networked music generation<br>. Physical modeling for sound generation<br>. Sound/music signal processing algorithms<br>. Digital Audio Effects<br>. Musical sound source separation and recognition<br>. Automatic music transcription<br>. Music information retrieval<br>. Musical pattern recognition/modeling<br>. Music and robotics<br>. Computational musicology<br>. Sonic interaction design<br>. 3D sound/music<br>. Data sonification<br>. Visualization of sound/music data<br>. Interfaces for music creation and fruition<br>. Interactive performance systems<br>. Musical performance modeling<br>. Gesture controlled audio systems<br>. Sound/music perception and cognition<br>. Sound/music and Neuroscience<br>. Music and emotions<br>. Multimodality in sound and music computing<br>. Web 2.0 and music<br>. Mobile music<br>. Technologies for the preservation, access and modelling of musical heritage<br><br>All accepted papers and posters will be published in the conference<br>Proceedings, which will account for an ISBN. Furthermore, a special<br>issue of the Computer Music Journal will be devoted to articles based<br>on selected items from the conference. Not only will the best<br>conference papers be considered for publication<br>in extended form in the Journal, but also posters, tutorials, and<br>reports of special sessions.<br><br><br>= Note on Special Sessions:<br><a href="http://smc2009.smcnetwork.org/call-for-participation/special-sessions.html">http://smc2009.smcnetwork.org/call-for-participation/special-sessions.html</a><br>SMC 2009 will feature special sessions on "hot" topics relevant to<br>Sound and Music Computing research, where a special focus will be put<br>on interaction between participants and the audience (members of the<br>scientific and music communities, and the general public at large).<br>There are, for now, 2 special sessions, on "Sonic Interaction Design"<br>and "Music Visualization".<br><a href="http://smc2009.smcnetwork.org/programme/special-sessions/sid.html">http://smc2009.smcnetwork.org/programme/special-sessions/sid.html</a><br><a href="http://smc2009.smcnetwork.org/programme/special-sessions/visualization.html">http://smc2009.smcnetwork.org/programme/special-sessions/visualization.html</a><br>(Stay tuned for announces of more special sessions in the upcoming weeks...)<br><br><br>= Note on Tutorials:<br>The day prior to the conference (22 July 2009) will consist of<br>tutorials, focusing on a single topic presented either at an<br>introductory level or in depth, lasting about 3 hours (including a<br>break).<br>You are welcome to propose tutorial along the guidelines detailed on<br><a href="http://smc2009.smcnetwork.org/call-for-participation/call-for-tutorials.html">http://smc2009.smcnetwork.org/call-for-participation/call-for-tutorials.html</a><br><br>= Stay tuned:<br>.
