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. > > Important Dates: > > July 5 2006 - paper deadline > July 25 2006 - notification of acceptance > August 5 2006 - camera-ready papers due > August 12 2006 - advance registration deadline > > Workshop Chairs: > > Xavier Amatriain (University of California Santa Barbara) > Elaine Chew (University of Southern California) > Jonathan Foote (Rotorbrain Industries) > > For further details and updates, please see the conference website at > http://www.create.ucsb.edu/amcmm06 . > > _______________________________________________ > Amcmm06 mailing list > [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> > http://www.create.ucsb.edu/mailman/listinfo/amcmm06 Carola Boehm Lecturer in Music Technology http://www.music.gla.ac.uk/carola/ -- ---------------(Virgil Thomson)------------------------------------- "Is this just a clockwork of fabulous design, or does it actually tell time" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Carola Boehm, Centre for Music Technology, 14 University Gardens, Department of Music, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QH Tel: +44 (0) 141 330 4903, Fax: +44 (0) 141 330 3518
