Music Submissions

We are pleased to offer a special category of submissions this year to ISMIR involving music compositions that rely on tools and research germane to the MIR community. We encourage submissions of new music made possible through techniques from the music information retrieval community and/or sonification of large data setsy.

Music submissions are treated like paper submissions and should be entered using the link provided at ismir2011.ismir.net. Note that all submissions are blind in nature; please remove all identifying information from audio files, scores, and abstracts. Please select the “Music” category when submitting for programming consideration during these special concerts. Music submissions should include a maximum two-page description of the work submitted, including a 150–200 word abstract as well as a PDF file containing the score (if applicable). Links to online audio excerpts or other multimedia material and detailing any special requirements for the presentation should be specified on the web submission form. Acceptance is based on the recommendation of the music selection committee, the work’s relevance to MIR, availability of performers (if applicable), and production quality (if applicable). If your submitted work involves live performer(s), please indicate your ability to provide them for performance at the concert.

Tutorial proposals

The first day of the conference (October 24) will consist of parallel sessions of half-day tutorials each concentrating on a single topic and lasting about 3 hours, including a break. The tutorials are presented either at an introductory level or in depth and are intended to provide an informative and stimulating coverage of current topics in MIR and beyond. Tutorial proposals should consist of a 1–4 page abstract including the following:

Title
Outline of the tutorial content
Intended and expected audience
Short biography of the presenter(s)
Any special requirements
Contact information
The proposals should be submitted as a PDF attachment via email to ismir2011-tutorials@ismir.net by March 31, 2011.

Acceptance/rejection decisions will be made by the ISMIR 2011 Conference Committee and will be notified by April 30. The decision will depend on criteria including relevance, suitability, originality, and expertise of the presenter(s).

Late-Breaking and Demo Submissions

A special session during ISMIR 2011 will be dedicated to the presentation of late-breaking research results and demonstration of applications that are of interest to the MIR community. These late-breaking / demo submissions will not be reviewed and will not have an associated papers in the conference proceedings. Submissions should be e-mailed by August 31 to ismir2011-demos@ismir.net as a pdf file containing the title, author name(s) and affiliation(s), and a 200–300 word abstract outlining the work to be presented. Abstracts will be published online. Should there be more submissions than allowed by the available presentation space, presentations that contribute to a balanced session will be given priority.
