The inaugural International Conference on Music Communication
Science (ICOMCS) will be held from 5-7 December and will be the
flagship event of SummerFest '07. The conference will attract people
from all walks of research and performance life, including
musicologists, psychologists, educators, linguists, composers,
engineers, computer scientists, speech scientists, physicists,
philosophers and performance artists. The aim of the conference is to
bring a wide range of presenters together, ranging from students to
established researchers with an interest in finding or presenting
synergies from several disciplines to help solve problems in music, or
to use elements of music and music research to address problems in
other disciplines. Performance items and research papers will be
considered. Abstracts and 4-page full-papers for peer-review can be
submitted. Symposia organised around predetermined themes are
encouraged. Sessions will consist of short (4 minute 'Speed' papers)
and regular length presentations. Submissions are due on Monday July
2. Details and the full Call for Papers can be found at the ICOMCS web
