Call for panels

CMMR 2012 invites proposals for panels. Panels should focus either on the theme of the conferene (Music and Emotions), emerging musical technologies, or unsolved problems in music informatics. Panels should stimulate lively and thoughtful discussions amongst the panelists and the delegates. We expect the panelists to actively engage the audience and help them broaden their understanding of the related issues. Panelists have to be stimulating, informative, and entertaining.

CMMR 2012 provides a leading international forum to bring together researchers, companies, educators, composers, performers, and others with an interest in music informatics, music technologies and music-based entertainment.

Topics

Panel submissions are encouraged in all areas related to music informatics. In particular, we encourage panel submissions on:

• Music and emotions (e.g. analysis, retrieval, synthesis, composition, performance, music for images)
• Computational musicology
• Auditory perception and cognition
• Virtual reality, augmented reality and human-computer interaction related to music
• Digital music libraries
• User studies (e.g. ethnography, usability of music software)
• New methods for music representation and visualization
• Retrieval and music recommendation tools
• Intelligent music tutoring systems
