Ubiquitous Music Book: Call for Chapters

Book title: Ubiquitous Music
Editors: Damián Keller, Victor Lazzarini, Marcelo S. Pimenta
Series: Computational Music Science
Series Editors: Guerino Mazzola, Moreno Andreatta
Selected papers from: IV UbiMus
Focus: state-of-the-art research on ubiquitous music
Target publication date: 2014

The Fourth Workshop on Ubiquitous Music will take place at the University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) and at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS), during the first week of December 2013. Researchers dealing with sonic and musical applications of information technology are invited to share proposals, initial results and complete research projects.

Selected papers will be included in the book Ubiquitous Music, within the Computational Music Science Series published by Springer Press. The book will feature reports on sonic composition, human-computer interaction, educational applications and cognitive research focused on pervasive music. We plan on a balanced selection of theoretical, methodological and applied results. The target public are researchers in computer science, music, psychology, social sciences, and education technology.

Sound and music in:
● information technology creative practices (ITCP)
● creativity studies
● educational technologies
● social technologies
● cognitive science
● ubiquitous computing
● mobile computing
