[MOCO] Deadline extension for MOCO'16: Call for Papers & Call for Demos
by Sotiris Manitsaris 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

*Call for Papers & Call for Demos* Submission deadline for Papers & Demos extension: *1 March 2016 (5:00pm GMT+2)* http://moco16.movementcomputing.org/index.php/papers/authors ======================================= *International Workshop on Movement and Computing (MOCO'16)* July 5-6 2016, Thessaloniki, Greece MINES ParisTech, France Paris 8 University, France University of Macedonia, Greece Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece http://moco16.movementcomputing.org/ Following on from the two previous successes of the International Workshop on Movement and Computing (MOCO’14) at IRCAM (Paris, France) in 2014, as well as MOCO’15 at Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, Canada) in 2015, we are pleased to announce MOCO'16, which will be hosted in Thessaloniki, Greece. MOCO'16 will be organized by MINES ParisTech, (France) in co-operation with the Paris 8 University (France), the University of Macedonia, Thessaloniki (Greece) and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece). The vision of MOCO'16 is to bring together academics, researchers, engineers, designers, technologists, technocrats, creative artists, anthropologists, museologists, ergonomists and other practitioners interested in the phenomenon of the symbiosis between the human and the creative process, e.g. dancer-digital medias, musician-instrument, craftsman-object etc. This symbiosis takes the form of an interactional and gravitational relationship, where the human element is both a trigger and a transmitter, connecting perception (mind/environment interaction and cognition), knowledge (theoretical understanding of a process) and gesture (semantic motor skills). MOCO'16 invites researchers that have experiences of capturing the combined key elements of perception, knowledge and gesture/movement. MOCO'16 will be of interest to artists who work on the elucidation of the intersection between art, meaning cognition and technology by unlocking the hidden components in human creativity. The workshop also provides a forum for industrial partners, for whom the movement and gestures of the workers/operators consist of key elements in terms of ergonomics and health, to see and present state-of-the-art technologies. A key feature of the MOCO'16 Workshop will be to open some of its demonstrations and artistic activities to the public-at-large in order to provide this extended audience with the opportunity to be informed about current scientific issues and topics by experts in an informal setting. *Suggested Topics* ======================================= * Movement in Digital and Performing Arts, which focus on the use and interaction between arts and movement in the following domains: music, dance, song, graffiti, painting etc.. * Technical and Craftsmanship Gestures, highlighting the importance of gestures in the professional context, whether technical or cultural. * Interaction, Communication and Design of User Experience, which put the emphasis on gestures and movement as interfaces between humans and machines. * Analysis and Modelling, centred on the use of mathematical, statistical or methodological tools for a better understanding of gestures and movement. These topics overlap and are in no way exhaustive, so we also welcome contributions focusing on other areas, with titles which might include any of the following keywords: * Finger-based interaction * Embodied and whole body interaction design * Professional movement and gesture * Movement analysis and analytics * Movement expression in avatar, artificial agents, virtual humans or robots * Sonification and visualization of movement and gesture * Modeling movement, gesture and expressivity * Sensori-motor learning with audio-visual feedback * Motion-driven narrative * Dance and technology * Movement representation * Embodiment and embodied cognition * Mediated choreography * Mechatronics and creative robotics * Movement in affective computing * Music and movement * Somatic practice and design * Dance and neuroscience * Vocal tract movements in singing voice * Design for movement in digital art * Movement computation in ergonomics, sports, and health *Participation in the workshop* ======================================= The workshop is an opportunity to present a research or study or details of collaborative work. Participants will have the opportunity to offer a presentation of the results of their research on one of the themes of the workshop and to interact with their scientific/ artistic peers, in a friendly and constructive environment. If you are interested in offering an oral presentation of your work, please submit a paper and/or a demo and/or a poster. *Submission* ======================================= The submission categories are: * Long paper with oral presentation (8 pages maximum) * Research note with oral presentation (4 pages maximum) * Extended abstracts with poster presentation (2 pages maximum) * Demonstration (one of the above papers (2 pages minimum + Demo proposal form). All submissions should be in pdf format and should use the MOCO’16 template – adapted from ACM SIGCHI template http://moco16.movementcomputing.org/index.php/papers/authors It is possible for participating authors to submit a demonstration proposal in addition to their regular paper submission by completing the Demo proposal form and sending it along with their submission.

2nd CFP for ICAD2016 in July
by icadAnnounce 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

apologies for doubles... Anyone with problems with the deadlines, please email me, -David The 22nd International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD 2016) Australian National University, Canberra, July 2-July 8 2016 CALL FOR PAPERS, POSTERS, SONIFICATIONS, INSTALLATIONS, COMPOSITIONS, WORKSHOPS, PANELS AND DEMONSTRATIONS Co-chairs:Dr David Worrall, Australian National University and Dr Stephen Barrass, University of Canberra Please check the conference website for updates: http://icad.org/icad2016/ ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary academic conference with relevance to researchers, practitioners, musicians, and students interested in the design of sounds to support tasks, improve performance, guide decisions, augment awareness, and enhance experiences. It is unique in its singular focus on auditory displays and the array of perception, technology, and application areas that this encompasses. Like its predecessors, ICAD 2016 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements. ICAD 2016-the 22nd International Conference on Auditory Display-will be held at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia, from July 2 to 8, 2016. The conference venue is the ANU School of Music, in the downtown centre of Canberra. Workshops and the graduate student ThinkTank (doctoral consortium) will be on the weekend of July 2 and 3, before the main conference. Note that ICAD is back-to-back with the conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) which will be held in Brisbane the following week, so international attendees can attend two international conferences for the one trip to Australia! THEME: SONIC INFORMATION DESIGN The designed world is rapidly replacing the natural world. Design has been called the "third culture" and has been distinguished from the Sciences and Arts by Nigel Cross in terms of * /things to know/: the natural world in science, human experience in art, and the artificial world in design. * /ways of knowing/: rationality and objectivity in science, reflection and subjectivity in art, and imagination and practicality in design. * /ways of finding out/: experiment and analysis in science, criticism and evaluation in art, and modelling and synthesis in design. This year's theme - Sonic Information Design - has the aspiration that artificial sounds may be designed to make the world a better place. Like other design disciplines, Sonic Information Design takes a synergetic user-centred view of the relationship between artefacts, those that are affected by them, and the social contexts in which they occur. A Design orientation pays particular attention to the phenomenology of user experience - including physical, cognitive, emotional, and aesthetic issues; the relationship between form, function, and content; and emerging concepts such as fun, playfulness and design futures. Practice-based research is considered as a generative process of exploration, speculation and discovery, with outcomes that can be provisional, contingent and aspirational, while aiming for richer, more situated understandings that lead to the advancement of knowledge and the proliferation of new realities. Sonic Information Design draws on theoretical approaches from multiple disciplines to guide hypothesis testing at multiple points during an iterative process -what Bill Gaver calls "humble theory". Sonic Information Design recognises usefulness as critical for evaluating artefacts, and the perceptual alignment with data characteristics as critical for effective designs. ICAD 2016 invites contributions that take a design approach, introduce design theory and apply design methods to Auditory Display and Data Sonification, with a view to building a conceptually robust foundation for Sonic Information Design. TOPICS Topics for ICAD2016 include new and emerging themes, as well as more traditional ICAD ones. Themes include but are not limited to: * Sonic Information Design * Stream-based Sonification and Auditory Scene Design * Acoustic Sonification * Small Data (personal, intimate) sonification and the quantised self * Sonification, soundscape and screensound * Sonification in Health and Environmental Data (soniHED) * Musification - sonifications and music * Sonification, personal fabrication and maker culture * Sonification in the Internet of Things * Auditory Data Mining and Big Data sonification * 3D and Spatial Audio * Aesthetics, Philosophy, and Culture of Auditory Displays * Accessibility * Applications * Design Theory and Methods * Evaluation and Usability * Human Factors and Interaction * Mappings from Data to Sound * Psychology, Cognition, Perception, and Psychoacoustics * Sonification and Exploration of Data through Sound * Sound as Art * Technologies and Tools *Presentations will be organised according to four major themes:* * Auditory Data Mining * Interactive Sonication, including for sports and health. * Musification and Aesthetics * Auditory Perception, including streaming, spatialisation and inter/poly modality.

15 Feb '16

====================== 2nd CALL FOR SUBMISSION ====================== ((( MUME 2016 ))) 4th International Workshop on Musical Metacreation http://www.musicalmetacreation.org <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mume2016> June 27, 2016 MUME 2016 is to be held in Paris at Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC), in conjunction with the Seventh International Conference on Computational Creativity, ICCC 2016. === Important Dates === Workshop submission deadline: May 1, 2016 Notification date: June 1, 2016 Camera-ready version: June 10, 2016 Workshop date: June 27, 2016 ====================== We are delighted to announce the 4th International Workshop on Musical Metacreation (MUME 2016) to be held June 27, 2016, in conjunction with the Seventh International Conference on Computational Creativity, ICCC 2016. MUME 2016 builds on the enthusiastic response and participation we received for the past occurrences of MUME series: - MUME 2012 (held in conjunction with AIIDE 2012 at Stanford): http://musicalmetacreation.org/index.php/mume-2012/ - MUME 2013 (held in conjunction with AIIDE 2013 at NorthEastern): http://musicalmetacreation.org/index.php/mume-2013/ - MUME 2014 (held in conjunction with AIIDE 2014 at North Carolina): http://musicalmetacreation.org/index.php/mume-2014/ Metacreation involves using tools and techniques from artificial intelligence, artificial life, and machine learning, themselves often inspired by cognitive and life sciences, for creative tasks. Musical Metacreation explores the design and use of these tools for music making: discovery and exploration of novel musical styles and content, collaboration between human performers and creative software “partners”, and design of systems in gaming and entertainment that dynamically generate or modify music. MUME aims to bring together artists, practitioners, and researchers interested in developing systems that autonomously (or interactively) recognize, learn, represent, compose, generate, complete, accompany, or interpret music. As such, we welcome contributions to the theory or practice of generative music systems and their applications in new media, digital art, and entertainment at large. Topics ====== We encourage paper and demo submissions on MUME-related topics, including the following: -- Models, Representation and Algorithms for MUME ---- Novel representations of musical information ---- Advances or applications of AI, machine learning, and statistical techniques for generative music ---- Advances of A-Life, evolutionary computing or agent and multi-agent based systems for generative music ---- Computational models of human musical creativity -- Systems and Applications of MUME ---- Systems for autonomous or interactive music composition ---- Systems for automatic generation of expressive musical interpretation ---- Systems for learning or modeling music style and structure ---- Systems for intelligently remixing or recombining musical material ---- Online musical systems (i.e. systems with a real-time element) ---- Adaptive and generative music in video games ---- Techniques and systems for supporting human musical creativity ---- Emerging musical styles and approaches to music production and performance involving the use of AI systems ---- Applications of musical metacreation for digital entertainment: sound design, soundtracks, interactive art, etc. -- Evaluation of MUME ---- Methodologies for qualitative or quantitative evaluation of MUME systems ---- Studies reporting on the evaluation of MUME ---- Socio-economical Impact of MUME ---- Philosophical implication of MUME ---- Authorship and legal implications of MUME Submission Format and Requirements ================================= Please make submissions via the EasyChair system at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mume2016 . The workshop is a full day event that includes: - Presentations of FULL TECHNICAL PAPERS (8 pages maximum) - Presentations of POSITION PAPERS and WORK-IN-PROGRESS PAPERS (5 pages maximum) - Presentations of DEMONSTRATIONS (3 pages maximum) which present outputs of systems (working live or offline). All papers should be submitted as complete works. Demo systems should be tested and working by the time of submission, rather than be speculative. We encourage audio and video material to accompany and illustrate the papers (especially for demos). We ask that authors arrange for their web hosting of audio and video files, and give URL links to all such files within the text of the submitted paper. Submissions do not have to be anonymized, as we use single-blind reviewing. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Workshop papers will be published as MUME 2016 Proceedings and will be archived with an ISBN number. Submissions should be formatted using the AAAI, 2-column format; see instructions and templates here: http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php Submission should be uploaded using MUME 2016 EasyChair portal: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mume2016 For complete details on attendance, submissions and formatting, please visit the workshop website: http://www.musicalmetacreation.org Presentation and Multimedia Equipment: ========================================== We will provide a video projection system as well as a stereo audio system for use by presenters at the venue.
