International Conference on Web Delivering of Music
WEDELMUSIC2001, Florence, Italy, 30th Nov.-1st December 2001
http://www.wedelmusic.org/wedelmusic2001
Patroned by: IEEE - TC on Computer Generated Music
Sponsored by: IST Europ. Commission, University of Florence,
Fraunhofer Institute, IRCAM, SUVINI, RICORDI, CESVIT, SVB, ILSP, ARTEC. SMF.
--------
In the era of the Internet there is an increasing interest in the diffusion
of
culture by using new technologies. Music is one of the well-known fields
in which people has focussed their attention in the past centuries and one
pioneer fields in using Internet technologies for the audio files
diffusion.
By now, the accessibility of traditional supports in which music is
currently
distributed is bound by paper and CD or related technologies. The
possibility to distribute music in several other formats, such as symbolic,
audio (in all its several available formats) and images of music sheets is
opens several research aspects. On the other hand, internet technologies
are strongly impacting on system architectures and business processes and
rules that are strongly changing the distribution mechanisms of music.
WEDELMUSIC-2001 will address these major topics in music related
fields in order to cover the several possible aspects in which music can
be distributed to a larger audience. This impacts also on cultural heritage
saving and sharing among people having poor possibilities to access
classical archives or libraries.
In particular, solutions for visually impaired people to access this large
and hidden cultural heritage is encouraged. Tools for impaired people
will contribute to enlarge the availability of music playing and fruition.
The focus of the conference is to explore the new challenges that the
Internet,
as a driver for business changes, poses for music distribution, and the new
opportunities that it opens as infrastructure and enabling technology. The
purpose of the conference is to promote discussion and interaction between
researchers and practitioners. We are particularly interested in exchanging
concepts, prototypes, research ideas, and other results which could
contribute
to the academic arena and also benefit business and the industrial
community.
WEDELMUSIC-2001 will bring together researchers, practitioners,
developers and users of tools, technology transfer experts, and project
managers to cover not only the different technical aspects, but also the
impact of Internet for cultural heritage saving.
Topics of interest include but are not restricted to the following aspects:
- Protection formats and tools for music - Transaction Models for
delivering music - Business model for publisher - Copyright ownership
protection - Formats and models for distribution - Watermarking techniques
for protecting music sheets and audio files - Music manipulation and
Analysis - Music Excerpts, score and audio - Music and tools for impaired
people - Publishers and distributors servers - Viewing and listening tools
for music - Databases for institutions: publishers, conservatories,
libraries, theatres, etc.
- Music Education Techniques
- Braille music and tools
- Cataloguing Aspects and tools
- Conversion aspects, techniques, quality, reliability and tools
- Music Sheet Digitalisation, techniques, tools, quality
- Music editing and manipulation
RESEARCH PAPERS
Research papers should describe original and significant work in the
research and practice of the previously cited main topics. Research case
studies, application and experiments are particularly welcome. Papers
should be 2000 – 5000 words in length, in English. Submit them in PDF or
PostScript via email to
[log in to unmask] by 15 February 2001. 8 pages of the accepted
papers will be included in the conference proceedings.
APPLICATIONS
We welcome proposals for presentations of Applications and tools. These
can be experience reports from real adoption of tools, industrial
practices and models, or tool demonstrations. Submit proposals for
Application presentations via email to [log in to unmask] by 15
February 2001. Applications proposals will be reviewed and have to consist
of a description and demo if any. A 1 page summary of accepted proposals
will be included in the conference proceedings.
Proceedings will be published by IEEE, the conference is patroned by IEEE
Computer society Technical Committee on Computer Generated Music.
