CALL FOR PAPERS

The 6th International Conference on Music Information Retrieval, ISMIR  
2005,
will be held at Queen Mary, University of London, from Sunday Sept.  
11th to
Thursday Sept. 15th, 2005.

The annual ISMIR Conference is the established international forum for  
those
working on accessing digital musical materials. It reflects the  
tremendous
recent growth of music-related data available and the consequent need to
search within it in order to retrieve and use music and musical  
information
efficiently and effectively. These concerns are of interest to  
education,
academia, entertainment and industry. ISMIR therefore aims to provide a  
place
for the exchange of news, issues and results, by bringing together  
researchers
and developers, educators and librarians, students and professional  
users,
working in fields that contribute to this multidisciplinary domain, to  
present
original theoretical or practical work. It also serves as a discussion  
forum,
provides introductory and in-depth information in specific domains, and
showcases current products.

ISMIR 2005 solicits contributions to the field of music information  
retrieval
(MIR), including, but not limited to, the following domains and topics:

* Music libraries, archives and digital collections
* Intellectual property rights and business issues
* Western and non-western musicology, analysis
* Composition, forms and structures, notation
* Knowledge representation
* Music perception, cognition, affect, and emotion
* Human-computer interaction and interfaces
* Databases, languages, protocols
* Systems, internet software, mobile devices
* Metadata, classification, recognition and modelling
* Social and ethical issues

Authors are encouraged to submit contributions in areas they feel  
belong to
MIR, even if they have not been explicitly mentioned above nor dealt  
with in
previous ISMIR conferences.

All contributions must be original, and must not have been previously  
published,
nor be in review for presentation elsewhere. Authors are required  
explicitly to
demonstrate the relevance of their methods to MIR and are strongly  
encouraged to
include aural music examples in their presentations; to facilitate  
this, we
recommend use of copyright-free examples (see, for  
example,www.archive.org).
Where appropriate, authors are required to address evaluation of their  
work in
the MIR context.
