Detailed Call for Submissions
Short call for submissions in text format
Short call for submissions in text format (French)
Papers (long and short) should describe original research. Page limits
are 6 and 4 pages, respectively. Authors should use as much space as
necessary, but no more. If a paper submission has highly rated
content, but the reviewers feel the paper is lacking sufficient detail
or contains needless material, the committee may ask the author to
revise the paper to the longer or shorter format for publication.
Poster/Demo submissions provide an excellent opportunity for
presenting preliminary or late-breaking news, ideas, results, and
applications that are deemed especially interesting to the ISMIR
community. Poster/Demo presentations do not necessarily contain strong
research results or systematic evaluation.
The first day of the conference (October 8th, 2006) will consist of a
parallel session of tutorials each concentrating on a single topic
presented either at an introductory level or in depth, lasting 3 hours
(plus a break). Proposals for tutorials can be sent via email to
ismir2006-tutorials@ismir.net.
A roster of special panels is planned. These panels are meant to foster discussion on a specific topic of interest to the community, as well as real-world implementations and experience reports. Submissions should consist of a 1-2 page abstract including:
1. The topic and issues to be discussed.
2. The intended and expected audience.
3. Biography of the moderator(s).
The document should be sent as a pdf attachment via email to
ismir2006-panels@ismir.net.
Throughout ISMIR 2006, space will be available for publishers,
software houses, booksellers, software merchants, service providers,
systems vendors, and any other companies interested in exhibiting their
products. They are invited to contact the program committee regarding
the ISMIR bookstore and/or exhibition space. More information can be
found on the Exhibition page.
Description and Introduction
The 7th International Conference on Music Information Retrieval, ISMIR
2006, will be held at the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia,
Canada, from Sunday, October 8th to Thursday, October 12th, 2006. The
annual ISMIR Conference is the established international forum for
those working on accessing digital musical material. It reflects the
tremendous recent growth of music-related data available and the
consequent need to search within it to retrieve music and musical
information efficiently and effectively. These concerns are of
interest to academia, industry, entertainment, and education. ISMIR
therefore aims to provide a place for the exchange and discussion 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 and systems.
Domains and Topics
ISMIR 2006 solicits contributions to the field of music information
retrieval (MIR), including, but not limited to, the following domains
and topics:
Contribution requirements and guidelines
All contributions must be original, and must not have been previously
published, nor be under 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 or copyright-cleared examples. Where appropriate,
authors are required to address evaluation of their work in the MIR
context.
We invite submissions in the categories of paper, poster/demo,
tutorials, panels and exhibits. All submissions to ISMIR 2006 will be
handled in electronic format via the submission web page from where
templates for MS Word and LaTeX will be available.
