Paganini - InfoMus Lab in Genova, Italy (www.infomus.org and www.casapaganini.org), with the goal of promoting interdisciplinary education and
research in the field of Sound and Music Computing (SMC). The School is aimed
at graduate students working on their Master or PhD thesis, but it is open to
any person carrying out research in this field. This is the fourth SMC Summer School.
The first two were organized by the European Coordination Action IST-FET S2S^2
(Sound to Sense â Sense to Sound) in Genova (2005) and Barcelona (2006).
Last year the Summer School took place in Stockholm. Teachers / Scientific Committee: - Nicola Bernardini (Conservatory of Padova) - Roberto Bresin (Royal Institute of
Technology, Stockholm) - Antonio Camurri (University of Genova) - Federico Avanzini (University of Verona) - Giovanni De Poli (University of Padova) - Goffredo Haus (University of Milano) - Alexander Jensenius (University of
Oslo) - Ben Knapp (Queens University of
Belfast) - Barbara Mazzarino (University of Genoa) - Sylviane Sapir (Conservatory of Como) - Augusto Sarti (Politecnico di Milano) - Uwe Seifert (University of Koln) - Stefania Serafin (Aalborg University Copenhagen) - Xavier Serra (Pompeu Fabra University) - Gualtiero Volpe (University of Genova)
Academic Program: - 6 hours of lectures on this year main
topics of the School; - 3 hours of oral presentations by the
participating students and discussions on their research work with the
committee/teachers; - Poster presentations by the
participating students during coffee breaks (1 hour every day of the School); - 6 hours hands-on activities by the
participating students in collaboration with the committee/teachers of the
School; - this year the SMC Summer School is
held in connection with the NIME08 Intl. Conference (see http://nime2008.casapaganini.org). The participating students will have free access to the NIME Workshops
on June 4 and June 8, including oral presentations and discussions by experts
from industries and by leaders of EU funded projects in the field of Sound and
Music Computing. The participating students will also benefit of the reduced
student fee for admission at the NIME08 Conference (June 4-7). Lectures are designed to be of interest
to any graduate student or researcher in the field of Sound and Music
Computing. The topics chosen for this year are Gesture and Music - Embodied
Music Cognition, Mobile Music Systems and Active Music Listening, relevant
topics in our research fields, which have particular methodologies and research
strategies. The lectures will present these particular methodologies and their
application in music related problems. All the participating students will give
short presentations on their current research during a speed-talk of four
minutes. The emphasis will be given on research questions and particularly on
methodological issues related to their research project. Students will receive
a written feedback from the teachers that should be useful for the continuation
of their research. All the participating students will
present a poster about their PhD work. Posters will be on show for all the
duration of the Summer School, with discussions during coffee breaks. All students will work on mini-projects
focusing on the two themes of the Summer School. Results of the mini-projects
will be presented on the final day of the School. Mini-projects will give the
opportunity for hands-on activities such as testing software tools or planning
of experiments. The organizers will prepare materials for small projects
involving the EyesWeb XMI open software platform (www.eyesweb.org) on the topics of the school. Please register on http://www.smcnetwork.org/summerschool/genova2008
