The Symposium
=============

The Brazilian symposia on computer music have consolidated the position of
the country in the field. The 10th Brazilian Symposium on Computer Music
will be held in Poços de Caldas, in conjunction with the Latin American
Symposium on Multimedia and Web. The symposium is organized by the Computer
Music special interest group of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC).

This will be a unique opportunity to visit Poços de Caldas, a beautiful and

main papers track, the symposium will also host concerts, music papers,
posters, and invited talks on topics at the cutting edge of computer music
science and technology. Computer scientists and musicians interested in the
interplay between computer technology and music are invited to submit their
work.

Enhanced and extended versions of the best SBCM papers will be considered
for publication in the Journal of the Brazilian Computer Society.
