Yeah, I'd like to read that ICMC paper, is sucks that ICMC is so lame about publishing their papers. They are really difficult to get, even though I have access to two academic libraries (NYU and Brooklyn Polytechnic) and the NYPL, one of the world's largest. So for people outside of computer music academia, papers in ICMC are as close to good as not published at all. ICMC should follow the example of conferences like NIME (http://nime.org/ ), where all of the papers are available online and are freely downloadable.
I agree wholeheartedly. I'm actually trying to decide right now whether to publish something at ICMC or at NIME, and this makes the decision a lot tougher. (Specifically because my university is hosting ICMC next year, so it would make more sense for me, but on the other hand I want the paper made available.)
Fortunately many people are just posting up their papers on their own websites, maybe Miller could do this.
However, I suggest everyone who this bothers to email the admin for ICMC 2008, and ask for a copy of the paper:
