INTRODUCTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EvoMUSART2004 is the second workshop of the EvoNet working
group on evolutionary music and art.
The application of Evolutionary Computation (EC) techniques for
the development of creative systems is a new, exciting and significant
area of research. There is a growing interest in the application of these
techniques in fields such as: art and music generation, analysis and
interpretation; architecture; and design.
The goal of evoMUSART2004 is to bring together researchers that are
using EC in this context, providing the opportunity to promote,
present and discuss ongoing work on the area.
The workshop will be held in Coimbra, Portugal, on 4-7 April 2004,
as part of the euroGP&evoCOP2004 event. Accepted papers will be
presented orally at the workshop and included in the EuroGP 2004
conference proceedings, published by Springer Verlag in their Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS OF INTEREST
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The papers should include original and unpublished contributions,
related with the use of EC in the scope of the analysis, generation
and interpretation of art and music. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:
- Generation
o Evolutionary Art Systems that create drawings, images,
animations, sculptures, poetry, text, etc.;
o Evolutionary Music Systems that create musical pieces,
sounds, instruments, voices, etc.;
o Robotic Based Evolutionary Art and Music;
- Analysis and Interpretation
o Systems that resort to EC to perform the analysis of image,
music, sound sculpture, or some other type of artistic object;
o Systems in which the analysis of artworks is used in
conjunction with EC techniques to produce novel objects;
- Computer Aided Creativity
o Systems in which EC is used to promote the creativity of
a human user;
o New ways of integrating the user in the evolutionary cycle;
o Collaborative distributed environments;
- Theory
o Surveys of the current state-of-the-art in the area; identification
of weaknesses and strengths; comparative analysis and classification;
o Validation methodologies;
o New models designed to promote the creative potential of EC;
o Aesthetics, emotional response;
o Studies on the applicability of these techniques to other
creativity related areas;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions should be a maximum of ten A4 pages and they should
be sent in postscript or PDF format. It is advisable that the papers
conform to the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science format
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
The reviewing process is double blind. Authors should remove their
names from submitted papers, and should take reasonable care that
their identity is disguised. References to own work can be included in
the paper, but should be referred to in the third person.
It is very important that the email accompanying submission should
state ALL the authors, including ALL their email addresses. To avoid
problems with electronic delivery, papers should be emailed to BOTH
of the program chairs.
A notification of receipt will be emailed a few days after the deadline.
