Paris, France
Call for Participation
The 3rd International Conference on Mathematics and Computation in Music (MCM
2011) will take place on June 15-17, 2011 at IRCAM, the Institute for Research
and Coordination of Acoustics and Music in Paris, France. MCM 2011 will be
integrated into IRCAM?s most important artistic event of the season, the Agora
Music Festival, which is running from June 6 to 18, 2011. As in the case of the
first two conferences (which took place in 2007 in Berlin and in 2009 at Yale
University), the third Mathematics and Computation in Music Conference aims to
provide a multi-disciplinary platform dedicated to the communication and
exchange of ideas amongst researchers involved in mathematics, computer
science, music theory, composition, musicology, or other related disciplines.
One of the Keynote speakers will be the renowned composer and conductor Pierre
Boulez, founder and honorary director of IRCAM. It will be accompanied by a
series of conference-related artistic events (concerts, exhibitions, workshops,
?) organised in collaboration with some of the most important cultural and
educational centres of France, such as the Centre Pompidou and Universcience.
We welcome original and high quality contributions ? including research papers,
invited sessions or panels and tutorials ? in all areas related to the mission
of the Society of Mathematics and Computation in Music.
The list of topics includes (but is not limited to):
* Mathematical models of the pitch space
* Mathematical models of rhythm
* Mathematical theory of musical gestures
* Logical aspects of music theory, analysis and composition
* Computer-aided models of music theory, analysis, composition, performance
and improvisation
* Perceptional and cognitive approaches in mathematics and music
* Philosophy of Mathematics and music.
To promote objectivity and fairness in judging research paper contributions,
the peer review process will be double-blind.
The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer in the
Communications in Computer and Information Science series.
Submission of papers, tutorials, panels will be accepted until January 21,
2011.
Notification of acceptance on March 4, 2011.
