New Interfaces for Musical
_expression_.
We invite submission of new
works in the following
categories:
•
Papers and Posters

Note that only papers and
demos submitted to NIME 2014
must be anonymized: authors are
expected to remove author and
institutional identities from
the paper. If you are submitting
a Workshop or Tutorial,
proposals DO NOT need to be
anonymized.
N.B. Please note the new
system in the scientific
programme for mandatory draft
submission followed by full
submission. We have
implemented this new system to
address the perennial deadline
extensions. This year, we will
not offer extensions. The Draft
Submission deadline corresponds
to previous years’ submission
deadline. On this date, the
author must be registered on the
online submission system and
have submitted a full draft
manuscript of their paper. You
will then have one week (the
time of prior years’ extensions)
to make minor edits to your
manuscript.
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME
CALL FOR PAPERS
We welcome submissions of
original research on scientific
and artistic use of new
interfaces for musical
_expression_. A non-exhaustive
list of NIME related topics is
found below. This list is
inclusive, and indicative. The
thematic focus of this year’s
edition is Liveness, and is
described in the introduction
above. We also encourage
submissions that extend,
stretch, or challenge the NIME
topics and themes.
Acceptance criteria: The paper
under consideration must propose
an original contribution to NIME
research; it must cite prior
related work and should
demonstrate rigorous research
methodology.
There are three different paper
submission categories:
•
Full paper (up to 6 pages in
proceedings, longer oral
presentation, optional demo)
•
Short paper/poster (up to 4
pages in proceedings, shorter
oral presentation or poster,
optional demo)
•
Demo paper (up to 2 pages in
proceedings, demonstration)
Submitted papers will be subject
to a peer review process by an
international expert committee.
All accepted papers will be
published in the conference
proceedings, under an ISSN/ISBN
reference, and will be archived
online after the conference to
be tracked by citation tools. A
manuscript submitted for review
cannot be already under review
for publication elsewhere, or be
submitted for a second review
elsewhere while under review for
NIME 2014. Authors of both full
and short papers are greatly
encouraged to submit a video in
support of their paper. A video
is mandatory for demonstration
submission.
Review process detailed here
http://www.nime.org/nime2014#reviewprocesspapers
A best paper award will be
presented to the individual(s)
judged by the scientific
committee to have written the
best paper appearing in the
conference proceedings.
CALL FOR WORKSHOPS
We invite submissions for
half-day (3 hours) or full-day
(6 hours) workshops and
tutorials. These can be targeted
towards specialist techniques,
platforms, hardware, software or
pedagogical topics for the
advancement of fellow NIME-ers
and people with experience
related to the topic. They can
also be targeted towards
visitors to the NIME community,
novices/newbies, interested
student participants, people
from other fields, and members
of the public getting to know
the potential of NIME.
Tutorial proposals should
clearly indicate the audience
and assumed knowledge of their
intended participants to help us
market to the appropriate
audience. Workshops and
tutorials can relate to, but are
not limited to, the topics of
the conference. This is a good
opportunity to explore a
specialized interest or
interdisciplinary topic in depth
with greater time for discourse,
debate, and collaboration.
