The Symposium
-------------
The Brazilian symposia on computer music have consolidated the position of
the country in the field. The 6th Brazilian Symposium on Computer Music
will be
held in Rio de Janeiro, during the 15th Annual Congress of the Sociedade
Brasileira de Computacao (SBC) from 19 to 22 of July. The symposium is
organized by NUCOM, the computer music branch of SBC.
This is a unique opportunity to visit Rio de Janeiro, one of the most
beautiful cities in the world and a leading Latin American cultural center.
During the
symposium there will be concerts, papers and lectures on topics at the
cutting
edge of computer music technology. Researchers and musicians interested in
the
interplay between computer technology and music are invited to submit papers
and compositions

Guidelines for submission
--------------------------
+++ Papers +++
Papers describing on-going or concluded research must be submitted in a
preliminary version containing no more than 8 pages (Times Roman 12 and 1.5
interline space). Portuguese is acceptable for preliminary submissions but
for
the final camera-ready papers English is required.
Please e-mail submissions to Geber Ramalho (glr at di.ufpe.br) or Eduardo
Miranda
(miranda at csl.sony.fr) as MS Word 97, pdf or postscript files. Alternatively,
indicate the URL where your document may be found.
+++ Tutorial and demonstration proposals +++
Proposals for didactic demonstrations in any area of computer music will be
considered, including demonstrations of commercial products (software or
hardware).
They will fall under the following categories:
* Introductory level intended for students and those outside the
computer music field. Topics can range from popular music tools to
more complex applications (e.g., Orchestral MIDI Sequencing Technique,
Algorithmic Processes in Contemporary Music, etc.);
* Advanced applications for more experienced practitioners (e.g.,
Digital Signal Processing in Music Composition).
Tutorials shall take place 19 July, followed by the symposium opening in
the evening. Exhibition of products will continue to 22 July. Proposals
should include a survey of topics and an indication of duration. Presenters
should
be prepared to supply most or all of the necessary equipment. Online
tutorials
are welcome, to be accessed by participants through web browsers during and
after the symposium. Online tutorials should be operative no later than 24
May.
Please e-mail proposals to Robert Willey (rw at libnet.com.br).
