The deadline for performance submissions to CSMC2018 is this Tuesday 1st May. 

CSMC2018 invites submissions of music/sonic/media works for concert presentation on the first evening of the conference (on August 20th). The works should relate to the conference theme of computer simulation of musical creativity including:

Computer Systems

• systems capable of generating music;
  
• systems capable of performing music;
  
• systems capable of (online) improvisation;
  
• systems capable of analysing music;
  
• music-robotic systems;
  
• systems implementing societies of virtual musicians;
  
• systems that foster and enhance the musical creativity of human users;
  
• music recommendation systems;
  
• systems implementing computational aesthetics, emotional responses, novelty and originality;
  

Theory

• surveys of state-of-the-art techniques in the area;
  
• validation methodologies;
  
• philosophical foundations of creative music systems;
  
• mathematical foundations of creative music systems;
  
• evolutionary models for creative music systems;
  
• cognitive models for creative music systems;
  
• studies on the applicability of music-creative techniques to other research areas;
  
• new models for improving creative music systems.
  

The work submission may be linked to a paper submission, but this link is not required. Human and computer performers must be organised by the person/group submitting. The venue has a stereo sound system with a sound engineer. Please submit a complete description of the project via EasyChair, including a tech rider listing all requirements and a link to an online recording (audio and/or video) of the work.

We look forward to seeing you in Dublin in August 2018!
