> ACM MM Workshop on Audio and Music Computing for Multimedia (AMCMM '06)
> Santa Barbara, California, USA, October 27, 2006
> http://www.create.ucsb.edu/amcmm06
>
> Multimedia is usually defined as the combination of text, graphics, 
> full-motion video, and sound into an integrated application. The final 
> frontier, sound, which includes general-purpose audio, music, and 
> speech, is an integral, but often neglected, component of the field. 
> Traditionally, the audio and the image research communities have 
> developed independently, and almost in perfect isolation one with 
> another. Even though there exist many important audio conferences and 
> societies, general venues such as the ACM Multimedia Conference still 
> attract relatively low participation from the audio and music 
> community.  Our goal is to set a new trend of active contribution by 
> the audio and music community through the initiating of a workshop on 
> Audio and Music Computing for Multimedia (AMCMM), specifically 
> targeted to researchers in this community.
>
> ACM Multimedia is the preeminent gathering of multimedia practitioners 
> from around the world. Its unique interleaving of researchers from 
> different fields, and of artists, creates a perfect forum for 
> addressing all aspects of multimedia computing: from enabling 
> technologies to applications, from theoretical foundations to 
> experimental systems and art, and from servers to network devices to 
> human-computer interfaces. In this context, we invite your 
> participation in the first Audio and Music Computing for Multimedia 
> (AMCMM '06) workshop.
>
> We seek high-quality and original papers that together present an 
> eloquent and wide-ranging overview of the latest groundbreaking 
> research in the field. For broad impact, we will encourage papers that 
> combine a comprehensive overview of advances in a particular area with 
> descriptions of innovative and original research. We also encourage 
> contributions related to the use of Audio and Music Computing in 
> Multimedia applications or environments.
>
> Topics can include, but are not limited to, any of the following in 
> the list:
>
>     * Digital Audio Signal Computing
>     * Audio and Music Analysis and Synthesis
>     * Audio and Music Streaming and Encoding
>     * Audio- and Music-centered Multimedia Tools and Applications
>     * Interactive Audio and Music Systems
>     * Audio in Virtual Environments and Augmented Reality Applications
>     * Music in Virtual Environments in Games and Other Applications
>     * Music Information Retrieval
>     * Audio Surveillance Systems
>     * Virtual and 3D Audio
>
> The workshop will also feature special sessions and keynotes that will 
> be of relevance and interest to the general multimedia community, so 
> as to foster a better understanding of the unique challenges and 
> problems of interest in the audio realm. The proposed AMCMM workshop 
> will be held in the last day of the conference.
