MCM 2017

Mathematics and Computation in Music

 

Mexico City                      26-29 June 2017

 

 

 

The Sixth International Conference on Mathematics and Computation in Music will be held June 26-29, 2017 at

Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Mexico City, México.

 

MCM is the flagship conference of the Society for Mathematics and Computation in Music (SMCM), whose official publication is the Journal of Mathematics and Music (JMM).

 

MCM 2017 continues the tradition of biennial international conferences of the Society for Mathematics and Computation in Music held on alternating sides of the Atlantic. In this occasion it is hosted by the Facultad de Ciencias at UNAM.

 

The conference brings together researchers from around the world who combine mathematics or computation with music theory, music analysis, composition and performance. MCM provides a dedicated platform for the communication and exchange of ideas amongst researchers in mathematics, computer science, music theory, composition and performance, musicology and related disciplines.

 

There will be introductory talks to specific fields of research.

 

The disciplines of Mathematics and Music share an intertwined history stretching back more than two and a half millennia. More recently, computer science has made possible new approaches to these disciplines, often with transformative effect.

 

In addition to the scientific program, there will be concerts open to both congress participants and the general public.

 

 

The publication of revised selected papers will be as a post-proceeding in LNCS/LNAI in the series name Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence www.springer.com/lncs. The MCM 2017 Conference URL will be included among the list of Forthcoming Proceedings (ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/LNCS_FCP.pdf ) on Springer server.

 

The proceedings are now available online: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-71827-9  LNAI 10527, MCM 2017

There is a free access for a period of 4 weeks.

Submission

 

The organisers of MCM 2017 encourage submissions of unpublished papers that use mathematical and/or computational approaches to music theory, music analysis, composition, performance, by researchers or teams of researchers from any relevant field. If space is available, lectures without paper submission will be welcome.

 

Particularly, we welcome submissions on any topic relating to mathematics and/or computation in music, including (but not limited to):

 

•Mathematical and computational models of and/or approaches to logical, philosophical and methodological aspects of mathematics and computation in music

•Musicology, music theory, analysis

•Composition and performance, improvisation

•The perception and cognition of any aspect of musical structure

•Music and emotion

•Musical learning and education

•Musical interaction and gestures

•The history of mathematics and computation in music

•Applications of mathematical music theory and computational tools for musicians, musicologists and others who work with music

•Study of mathematical objects derived from mathematical music theory.

 

We invite submissions of the following types:

 

    Long papers (10-12 pages in the Springer LNCS style) to be presented orally

    Short papers (4-6 pages in the Springer LNCS style) to be presented as posters

    Panel discussions

 

Long and short papers

 

Long and short paper submissions should take the form of complete papers; each paper submission should include an abstract of up to 150 words. Authors may not reveal their identity if they deem it necessary.

 

Accepted papers will be published by Springer in an edited volume in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science, as were the proceedings of previous MCM conferences. This Memoirs will be published after the congress. Information for authors in this series may be found in

 

http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

 

including formatting guidelines. Submissions must be made using one of the Springer LNCS style templates. Authors are strongly encouraged to prepare their submissions using the LNCS LaTeX style (see also this sample file). However, if authors are unable to use LaTeX, then they may submit it in LibreOffice/OpenOffice.odt format, but must have the same layout as obtained with TeX. Submissions that do not conform to one of these templates will be rejected without review.

 

All papers will be reviewed according to their novelty or expository quality, scientific quality, relevance to the conference and stimulation potential.

 

A researcher may not appear as single author on more than one paper submission, nor as a lead author on more than two paper submissions. Submissions of long and short papers must follow the following guidelines:

 

    use the LNCS templates

    respect the page restrictions for long and short papers

 

Poster size can be A0 or 70 cm x 100 cm, printed in photographic paper, and should be installed by the author.

 

Panel discussions

 

Panels should offer lively and provocative discussions on topics of particular interest to the community. Rather than offering a series of paper presentations, panel sessions should be structured so as to engage the audience in thoughtful and constructive dialogue with the panelists. The primary criteria for selection are the anticipated level of interest, the potential impact, and the organizer’s and panelists’ expertise in the field.

 

Proposals should be no more than 4000 words and need not follow the Springer formatting procedures. A proposal for a panel discussion should provide the following details:

 

    clear description of the topic of the discussion

    arguments why the topic is timely, significant and relevant to the conference

    references to relevant recent publications

    short biographies for the proposed discussants.

 

The deadline for all types of submission is: Friday 31 of March, 2017.

 

There will be no extension to the paper submission deadline on 31 of March. However, authors of registered papers on March 31 will be allowed to send new versions of their pdf-papers until April 5th. No other changes will be possible (i.e. no change of title, abstract, authors, keywords/topics, or other metadata). No submission of new papers will be possible after March 31.

 

Notification acceptance:  28 of April 2017

 

Camera-ready copy:  16 of May 2017

 

All submissions must be made to any of the following organizers in pdf format files:

Travel and local visits

 

1.-Arrive at the Mexico City International Airport called “Benito Juárez”. Go to immigration and then pick your luggage.

 

2.-Once you exit the doors from baggage claim, buy a taxi ticket at the counters of diverse taxi brands. Anyone is good. Tell you go to the ___ hotel at the south of the city, near Perisur Mall. It will cost around 17-20 US.

 

Almost everybody does NOT need a visa to enter México. To see the countries that do not need visa see:

and for the countries that need visa see:

The best way to enter is as a tourist (since you are not going to work, but are going to be delighted from “watching a music and mathematics spectacle”).

 

*There will be a visit and a concert from our Congress at the “Castillo de Chapultepec” on Wednesday evening, (28th of June, 2017) from 18:00 to 20:30 hrs.

Restaurants

 

There are plenty of very good restaurants. Besides the restaurants at the Radisson or Royal hotels there are many good restaurants in the Mexican cousin, one of the best in the world. But it takes time to find out where to go, make a reservation, etc. Here are three very good restaurants in the south of the city where we are at the MCM 2017 Conference.

 

1.- San Angel Inn. On a magnificent 16th century estate, the San Angel Inn is unquestionably one of the city’s most traditional and renowned. Extraordinary international cuisine, with strong Mexican accents, allows the Inn to devote itself to magnificent experimentation and achievement over more than 50 years. Huitlacoche crepes, cream of poblano chilis, lobster bisque and Rockefeller shrimp are just some of the highlights on the menu. Their martinis and margaritas remain legendary.

2.- Always esoteric, El Cardenal has been one of the best Centro restaurants for as long as anyone can remember. Most famous for the breakfasts, at lunchtime all the niceties go away and the real guns come out. A chicken breast stuffed goat cheese ought to get you going but the red mole is easily among the best moles in Mexico City.
