FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
EvoMUSART 2008
6th European Workshop on Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Music,
Sound, Art and Design
26-28 March, 2008, Naples, Italy

INTRODUCTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The use of biologically inspired techniques for the development of artistic
systems is a new and exciting area of research. There is a
growing interest in the application of these techniques in fields such as
visual art and music generation, sound analysis and synthesis, architecture,
video, poetry, and design.
EvoMUSART 2008 is the sixth workshop of the EvoNet working group on
Evolutionary Music and Art. Following the success of previous events
and the growth of interest in the field, the main goal of EvoMUSART
2008 is to bring together researchers who are using biologically
inspired techniques for artistic tasks, providing the opportunity to
promote, present and discuss ongoing work in this area.
The workshop will be held from 26-28 March, 2008 in Naples, Italy
as part of the EvoStar event.
Accepted papers will be presented orally at the workshop and included
in the EvoWorkshops proceedings, published by Springer Verlag in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The papers should concern the use of biologically inspired techniques -
e.g. Evolutionary Computation, Artificial Life, Artificial Neural Networks,
Swarm Intelligence, etc. -in the scope of the generation, analysis and
interpretation of art, music, design, architecture and other artistic
fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Generation
o Biologically Inspired Design and Art -Systems that create
drawings,images,
animations, sculptures, poetry, text, designs, webpages, buildings, etc.;
o Biologically Inspired Sound and Music -Systems that create
musical pieces,
sounds, instruments, voices, sound effects, sound analisys, etc.;
o Robotic Based Evolutionary Art and Music;
o Other related generative techniques;
- Theory
o Computational Aesthetics, Emotional Response, Surprise, Novelty;
o Representation techniques;
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 Studies on the applicability of these techniques to related areas;
o New models designed to promote the creative potential of biologically
inspired computation;
- Computer Aided Creativity
o Systems in which biologically inspired computation is used to promote
the creativity of a human user;
o New ways of integrating the user in the evolutionary cycle;
o Analysis and evaluation of: the artistic potential of biologically
inspired art and music; the artistic processes inherent to these
approaches; the resulting artifacts;
o Collaborative distributed artificial art environments;
- Automation
o Techniques for automated fitness assignment;
o Systems in which an analysis or interpretation of the artworks is
used in conjunction with biologically inspired techniques to produce
novel objects;
o Systems that exploit biologically inspired computation to perform
the analysis of image, music, sound, sculpture, or some other types
of artistic object;
