1st Call for Papers and Tutorials
ISMIR 2010 - 11th International Society for Music Information Retrieval
Conference
9-13 August 2010, Utrecht University, The Netherlands
http://ismir2010.ismir.net/
Submission Deadline: Wednesday, 10 March 2010
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Introduction*
The 11th International Conference on Music Information Retrieval, ISMIR
2010, will be held at the Utrecht University, The Netherlands, from
Monday, August 9 to Friday, August 13 2010.
The annual ISMIR Conference is the premier international forum for those
working on organizing and accessing digital musical material. The ISMIR
conferences reflect the tremendous recent growth of available
music-related data and the consequent need to search within it to
retrieve music and musical information efficiently and effectively.
Music Information Retrieval (MIR) concerns are of interest to academia,
industry, entertainment, and education. ISMIR therefore aims to provide
a place for the exchange and discussion of MIR issues, developments and
results, by bringing together researchers and developers, educators and
librarians, students and professional users, working in fields that
contribute to MIR's multidisciplinary domain. It is increasingly
realised in the MIR community that music only becomes music by its
processing by the human mind, and that studying the human processing of
music is a key issue in innovative MIR research. Therefore, papers on
musical cognition and perception that contribute to the human
understanding and experience of music are especially welcomed.
*New Special Paper Category*
New this year, ISMIR 2010 is soliciting a special category of papers:
State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs). Unlike regular papers which should
focus in detail on specific aspects of MIR research, STAR papers will
provide a state-of-the-art overview of a broader MIR problem area. Only
a few STAR papers will be selected. A STAR paper will be presented in an
oral presentation.
*Topics*
ISMIR solicits contributions to the field of music information retrieval
(MIR), including, but not limited to, the following topics as they
relate to MIR and beyond:
music perception and cognition
musical knowledge and meaning
content-based querying and retrieval
automatic classification
music recommendation and playlist generation
fingerprinting and digital rights management
score following, audio alignment, and music synchronization
transcription and annotation
music summarisation
music structure analysis
optical music recognition
music signal processing
libraries, archives and digital collections
database systems, indexing and query languages
text and web mining
compression and streaming
modification and transformation of music data
evaluation of MIR systems
knowledge representation, social tags, and metadata
melody and motives
harmony, chords and tonality
rhythm, beat, tempo and form
timbre, instrumentation and voice
genre, style and mood
performance analysis
similarity metrics
computational musicology
user interfaces and user models
emotion and aesthetics
applications of MIR to the performing arts and multimedia
social, legal, ethical and business issues
methodological issues and philosophical foundations
*Paper submission*
* Formatting submission instructions will be made available at
http://ismir2010.ismir.net/
* Submission instructions for regular papers will be made available
at http://ismir2010.ismir.net/, while STAR papers should be emailed to
[log in to unmask]
* Submission must consist of original contributions (not previously
published and not currently being considered for publication elsewhere).
* Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages long, STARs no
longer than 12 pages.
* All papers will be peer-reviewed according to their quality in
terms of novelty, technical content, and presentation.
* The reviewing process of regular papers will be double blind: the
reviewers remain hidden to the authors, and the authors must remain
hidden to the reviewers.
* All accepted regular papers can be presented as a poster.
* From the accepted papers, a selection will be chosen for oral
presentations as well.
* Authors of accepted papers will be asked to provide camera-ready
copies of their papers for inclusion in the proceedings.
* For each accepted paper, at least one author must register for the
ISMIR 2010 conference prior to submission of the camera-ready version.
We will seek opportunities to publish selected papers in one or more
suitable journal special issues.
*Call for tutorials*
It is the goal of the ISMIR 2010 Tutorial Program to offer conference
attendees and local participants a stimulating and informative selection
of introductory or in-depth tutorials reflecting current topics in MIR.
These tutorials will be presented by subject matter experts and will
reflect the high academic and research standards of the ISMIR 2010
conference. We encourage submissions of tutorial proposals on all topics
in the general areas of music information retrieval, especially
tutorials bridging these areas, or presenting new perspectives in these
areas. However, tutorials on musical cognition and perception that
contribute to the human understanding and experience of music, or that
make creative use of MIR research, will receive particular attention.
Tutorials will be held Monday, August 9, 2010 (the day preceding the
main conference). Tutorial day will consist of parallel sessions of
half-day tutorials each concentrating on a single topic and lasting
approximately 3 hours, including a break.
Tutorial proposals should be emailed to [log in to unmask] as
PDF files containing a 1-2 page abstract including:
* an outline of the tutorial content,
* the intended and expected audience,
* short biography of the presenter(s),
* whether the tutorial has been give before or elsewhere, and
* any special requirements.
Presenters are strongly encouraged to include aural music examples in
their tutorial presentations (preferably using copyright-free or
copyright-cleared examples). Tutorial presenters are expected to create
substantial supporting materials for distribution to participants.
*Important Dates*
