Please, see the CfP for the inaugural issue below. *********************************************** Call for Papers - Inaugural Issue Journal of Creative Music Systems (http://jcms.org.uk/) *********************************************** The Journal of Creative Music Systems (JCMS) is a new open-access journal p= ublishing peer-reviewed articles on computational creative systems in the d= omain of music. JCMS is intended to serve as a forum for scholarly dialogue= regarding the most important emerging issues in the field. JCMS is intended to focus on computer systems which generate, perform or an= alyse music, and which either demonstrate a distinct degree of creativity o= r which shed light on the nature of creativity. Both empirical articles, wh= ich focus on the design and implementation of new techniques; as well as th= eoretical papers, which investigate the scientific and philosophical founda= tions of music-creative systems, are encouraged. In recognition of the inhe= rent interdisciplinarity of the field, JCMS encourages submission of art= icles at the intersection of different disciplines, such as music (theory, = analysis, history), artificial intelligence, music information retrieval (M= IR), cognitive science, evolutionary theory, mathematics and philosophy. Topics For the journal=92s inaugural issue, topics of submissions may include, but= are not limited to: Computer Systems * systems capable of generating music; * systems capable of performing music; * systems capable of (online) improvisation; * systems capable of analysing music; * robotic systems; * systems implementing societies of virtual musicians; * systems that enhance the musical creativity of human users; * music recommendation systems; * systems implementing computational aesthetics, emotional response, no= velty/originality; Theory * surveys of state-of-the-art techniques in the area; * validation methodologies; * philosophical/mathematical foundations of creative music systems; * evolutionary models for music creative systems; * cognitive models for music creative systems; * studies on the applicability of music-creative techniques to other re= search areas; * new models for improving music creative systems. Types of Submissions JCMS accepts articles, research reports, reviews and tutorials. Articles sh= ould make a major theoretical or empirical contribution to knowledge. Resea= rch reports should describe research which is in a preliminary phase. Revie= ws provide critical commentary on scholarly books, articles and events such= as conferences relevant to the field. Tutorials are intended to illustrate= new technologies relevant to CSMC. Deadlines for Inaugural Issue * Submission of papers: 31st January 2016 * Reports from referees sent to authors: 31st March 2016 * Submission of revised papers: 15th April 2016 * Expected publication date: May 2016 Submission Instructions Please visit the JCMS website (http://jcms.org.uk/) for a description of th= e journal, instructions to authors and submission guidelines. Further Information For any enquiries, please contact Valerio Velardo, Associate Editor, at ass= ociate-editor@xxxxxxxx Best wishes, Valerio Velardo University of Huddersfield inspiring tomorrow's professionals.
