The conference will consist of paper sessions, posters and round table discussions.

We encourage contributions that investigate the interplay between musical theory and practice with tecniques and methods from Artificial Intelligence, including computational cognitive modelling of musical processes.  We are specially interested in issues of musical representation and analysis, associated algorithms, and the evaluation of musical artefacts.

The organising committee welcomes submissions on all aspects of music and artificial intelligence. There will be the following, non-exclusive themes:

• Representation, Analysis and Pattern Discovery
• Situated Musical Cognition, embodied Musical Perception
• Creativity in Musical Composition and Performance

Submissions are invited in the following categories:

Category A: Full research paper (submissions CLOSED)

Accepted papers in category A will be published in a volume of Springer-Verlag series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI), which will be available at the conference. Authors of accepted papers under category A are expected to present their work at the conference.

Category B: Informal progress report (submission deadline: 15 May 2002)

Submissions under category B will be formally refereed, but those submissions accepted will be published as electronic proceedings in the Informatics Report Series, University of Edinburgh. In addition, during the conference a printed version of the abstracts will be available. Authors can choose whether to include the original abstract of their paper, or an extended abstract, up to 1000 words maximum. Authors of accepted papers of Category B are expected to prepare a poster for display at the conference venue. Authors of selected papers may be invited to give a longer presentation.

We encourage submission of papers in any area relevant to the conference, including shorter papers, work in progress and system descriptions. Submitted papers must describe work not previously published, and must not be submitted concurrently to a journal or to another conference. The reviewing process will be strictly anonymous.

Papers should be no more than 12 pages in length, and include an abstract of 70-150 words. Authors are strongly encouraged to use LaTeX2e, and should use the format specifications and templates of the Springer LNCS/LNAI series, available from http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Authors are strongly encouraged to use LaTeX2e, although Word files, in PDF or PS format, will also be accepted. Papers not following the Springer specifications will not be accepted, unless a special permission has been obtained before submission from the organising committee.
