"Journées d'Informatique Musicale 2024”
06-08 May 2024, Marseille (France
Each year, the "Journées d'Informatique Musicale" bring together researchers, developers and different actors of the musical life who use computing as a tool for dissemination, creation, interpretation or pedagogy. The JIMs are managed by the Association Francophone d'Informatique Musicale (AFIM) and are supported by DGCA and the French Ministry of Culture and Communication. The JIM 2024 are co-organized by PRISM (CNRS/AMU/Ministry of Culture), AFIM, Inciam and gmem, and will take place from May 6 to 8, 2024, at la friche (gmem, 6 and 8th May) and at the CNRS Aiguier campus (PRISM, Tuesday 7th May). The keynote speakers will be the following: Elaine Chew, David De Roure, David Meredith, and Marco Stroppa.
Calendar

Notification of acceptance: Monday March 18, 2023
Deadline for submission of final versions: Monday April 15, 2024
Topics
In addition to the traditional themes, (https://jim2024.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/2), this edition, from 6 to 8 May 2024, will focus on the following themes:
Risset & Beyond
What is Jean-Claude Risset's legacy in the fields of sound synthesis, live electronics and the use of the disklavier for musical creation in the age of AI, streaming listening practices and non-standardised electronic lutheries? "Is 'creating sound itself' still relevant in the first quarter of the 21st century? How modern is Jean-Claude Risset in an environment of constant technological innovation?
Computational musicology
Computational musicology fuses music theory, computer science and data analysis to interpret musical structures using algorithms and statistics. Dating back to experiments that began over 70 years ago, it has subsequently led researchers to closely examine the suitability of musical theories for computer use. This rapidly evolving field, at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, raises the question of the extent to which technology can continue to improve our understanding of music without compromising the very essence of musicological work.
Intersection between computer science and empirical musicology
Empirical musicology draws on methodologies from a variety of disciplines, including psychology, statistics, acoustics and computer science. The application of empirical methods enables a more quantifiable and reproducible understanding of music, bridging the gap between the subjective nature of musical experience and the objective analysis of musical phenomena. What references, new methods and protocols resulting from these cross-fertilisations are ready to be integrated to enrich our analysis of musical works?
Immersion, Multimodality, Virtual Reality
Virtual reality typically revolves around images. However, its use in the field of sound opens up promising prospects, both in industry and in artistic creation, as illustrated by the advances in binaural techniques, which now play an essential part in the user's sense of immersion. Interaction design in VR today typically entangles sound, visual and haptic feedback, and thus opens up a more forward-looking dimension to multimodal creation and the new challenges linked to multisensory interactions.
Submission Details
Articles may be written either in English or in French, between 4 and 10 pages. For the articles in English, a French abstract is mandatory. Communications will take place either as oral presentations (30 minutes, including questions), or performances-presentations (format to be defined), or demos (format to be defined). The different rooms of the conference will be equipped in multichannel. The type of presentation (either oral presentation, or performance-presentation, or demo) should be mentioned by the authors when submitting. The organizing committee will approve the final choice when setting the program of the JIM.
Articles should be submitted using PDF format. The page layout should be achieved using either the Word or the LaTeX templates:
Proposals should be submitted online on the website of the conference only: https://jim2024.sciencesconf.org/submission/submit
Submission requires the creation of a sciencesconf.org account. If you already own a sciencesconf.org account, please use this one.
Young Researcher’s Prize
Proposals from young researchers (doctoral students, young doctors and independent researchers) are particularly welcome. An AFIM “Young Researcher” Prize will be awarded to the best article presented by a young researcher as part of the JIM 2024 , based on a vote by participants. The winner will receive financial assistance in the amount of €500 to encourage them in their research. For more information, see: https://jim2024.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/9
