SMC 2019 TOPICS OF INTEREST include a wide selection of topics related to acoustics, psychoacoustics, music, technology for music, audio analysis, musicology, sonification, music games, machine learning, serious games, immersive audio, sound synthesis, etc.
Among these topics, the theme of this year is Music and Interaction. This topic is as broad as the different ways in which a certain person (musician or not, engineer or not, artist or not...) may want to interact with music, depending on their personal interests and their specific relationship with music.
The interaction can be focused on music composition and creation, music performance, music data mining, the influence of music on human beings, music learning, musical instruments, new sound development, reading music, etc.
SMC 2019 conference will foster the presentation of new methods for any kind of musical conversation or conversation through music, human-computer interaction through the lens of sound, interaction models from objects to bio and AI systems, new interfaces for playing music, interactive content discovery and recommendation, optical music recognition, music education, music games, sonification and any other music information retrieval related technology.
SMC 2019 will be an interdisciplinary forum to share research, music, thoughts, needs and discoveries between musicians in a broad sense, computer science experts, music information retrieval researchers, etc. This interdisciplinary atmosphere will be the perfect place to come up with new ideas, applications and challengues to keep on working in this fantastic research topic that brings together art, technology and human perception.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following categories are welcome:
- Full papers. Papers should be between 4 and 8 pages, written in English and not previously published. All the papers must be submitted in the Portable Document Format (PDF) and must conform to the conference template (http://smc2019.uma.es/papersubmission.html). Papers can be submitted for oral or poster presentation and the final decision on the category will be made by the Programme Committee. All submissions will be fully peer-reviewed and all accepted papers, independently of the presentation format, will be included in the conference Proceedings. The Proceedings will have an ISBN and its electronic version will be available on the SMC website
- Demos. SMC 2019 welcomes contributions for demo presentations examining all the core topics of the Sound and Music Computing field and, in particular, matching this year's featured topic: Music and Interaction. Demo contributions are intended to the presentation of preliminary results, ideas, applications or system prototypes that are not yet fully formed nor systematically evaluated, but of interest to the SMC community. Authors are encouraged to submit extended one-page (preferred) or two-page (maximum) abstracts of the demo to be presented. The abstract of the demo submission must be in PDF and must conform to the conference template (http://smc2019.uma.es/demosubmission.html)
- Music. SMC 2019 invites researchers and creators to submit musical contributions that make use of the possibilities technology offers nowadays to create music in a broad sense and, in particular, matching this year's featured topic: Music and Interaction. Musical contributions will be evaluated and considered for their possible inclusion in the conference concerts. For more information, visit http://smc2019.uma.es/music.html
