--Apple-Mail-14--226961080 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" The Fifth Biennial International Conference on Mathematics and = Computation in Music (MCM2015) will be held 22-25 June 2015 at Queen = Mary University of London in the United Kingdom. MCM is the flagship = conference of the Society for Mathematics and Computation in Music, = whose official publication is the Journal of Mathematics and Music. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers from around = the world who adopt mathematical and/or computational approaches to = address any aspect of music theory, music analysis, composition and = performance. MCM aims to provide a dedicated platform for the = communication and exchange of ideas amongst researchers in mathematics, = informatics, music theory, composition, musicology, and related = disciplines. We welcome submissions on any topic relating to mathematics and/or = computation and music, including (but not limited to): * Mathematical and computational models of and/or approaches to - musicology, music theory and analysis, composition - musical performance and improvisation - the perception and cognition of any aspect of musical structure - music and emotion - musical learning and education - musical interaction and gestures * Logical, philosophical and methodological aspects of mathematics and = computation in music * The history of mathematics and computation in music * Applications of mathematical music theory and computational tools for = musicians, musicologists and others who work with music We invite submissions of the following types: * Long papers (10-12 pages in the Springer LNCS style) to be presented = orally * Short papers (4-6 pages in the Springer LNCS style) to be presented as = posters * Panel discussions * Workshops and tutorials LONG AND SHORT PAPERS Long and short paper submissions should take the form of complete = papers, each paper submission should include an abstract of up to 150 = words. As the review process will be double blind, authors must take = care not to reveal their identities in any way in their paper = submissions. Accepted papers will be published by Springer in an edited volume in the = series Lecture Notes in Computer Science, as were the proceedings of = previous MCM conferences. Information for authors in this series may be = found here, including formatting guidelines. Submissions must be made = using one of the Springer LNCS style templates. Authors are strongly = encouraged to prepare their submissions using the LNCS LaTeX style (see = also this sample file). However, if authors are unable to use LaTeX, = then templates are also available for Word 2007 and Word 2003. A = correctly formatted document for Word for Mac, that you can use as a = sample, replacing its text with your own, may be found here. Submissions = that do not conform to one of these templates will be rejected without = review. All papers will be reviewed according to their novelty, scientific = quality, relevance to the conference and stimulation potential. A long = paper submission might be accepted as a short paper in the review = process, if it is considered more appropriate for poster presentation. = In such cases, authors will be required to submit final versions of = their papers that comply with the 4-6 page limit for short papers. A researcher may not appear as single author on more than one paper = submission, nor as a lead author on more than two paper submissions. PANEL DISCUSSIONS Panels should offer lively and provocative discussions on topics of = particular interest to the community. Rather than offering a series of = paper presentations, panel sessions should be structured so as to engage = the audience in thoughtful and constructive dialogue with the panelists. = The primary criteria for selection are the anticipated level of = interest, the potential impact, and the organizer=92s and panelists=92 = expertise in the field. Proposals should be no more than 4000 words and = need not follow the Springer formatting procedures. A proposal for a = panel discussion should provide the following details: * clear description of the topic of the discussion * arguments why the topic is timely, significant and relevant to the = conference * references to relevant recent publications * short biographies for the proposed discussants. WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS Workshops and tutorials are dedicated to, preferably, interdisciplinary = themes that are covered by any of the topics relevant to the conference. = Workshops should allow conference participants to engage actively in the = session. Tutorials should also, preferably, allow for audience = participation, but will generally provide in-depth introductions to = particular topics. The primary criteria for selection are the = anticipated level of interest, the potential impact, and the presenters=92= expertise in the field. Proposals for workshops and tutorials should be = no longer than 3000 words and need not follow the Springer formatting = procedures. A proposal for a workshop or tutorial should provide the = following details: * an outline of the workshop/tutorial topic * brief review of recent research relevant to the topic * the intended and expected audience * short biography of the presenter(s), and * any special requirements. The deadline for all types of submission is Friday 9 January 2015. * Notification of acceptance: 10 March 2015 (tentative). * Camera ready copy: 31 March 2015 (tentative).
