BACKGROUND

The use of computers in music is well established. CMMR 2003 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 2003 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 somewhat differently than many traditional conferences by scheduling sessions intended to foster dialog within small groups in addition to plenary sessions to stress unifying themes. There will be ample opportunity for in-depth discussions to follow up on ideas presented at larger sessions, presentation of musical pieces, demonstration of computer music software, as well as informal gatherings.

PARTICIPATION

Participation will be limited. All attendees will be required to submit at least one piece of work. (Submission formats are discussed below.) All submissions will be reviewed by the program committee. All accepted paper submissions will be published in the proceedings.

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. It is planned to publish revised papers after the symposium as post-event proceedings in the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series.
