INTRODUCTION
The use of logics in AI will be further advanced if implemented
logical based systems receive appropriate exposure, implementation
and testing methodologies are discussed by the community, and if
the performance and scope of applicability of these systems are
presented and compared. This way, theoretical research in the use
of logics in AI will receive important feedback about its
relevance and practicality, system implementers will learn about
competing solutions and their performance, and AI experts working
on practical applications will get software tools they need.
To further promote this research, the JELIA'04 technical programme
will include a special session devoted to presentations and
demonstrations of implementations for solving or addressing
problems of importance to all areas in the scope of JELIA.
Submissions to this special session should provide a description
of such a system and information on the class of problems (or
application area) it is designed for, theoretical background,
major features, implementation techniques, and testing methodology
and experimental evaluation.
PROCEEDINGS
Accepted system descriptions will be published in the conference
proceedings, published by Springer-Verlag as a volume of the
Lecture Notes on Artificial Intelligence series.
All systems whose descriptions will be accepted for publication in
the conference proceedings, will be demonstrated at the special
session at the conference. The authors should indicate as part of
their submission if any special computing support will be
necessary.
SUBMISSION
System descriptions must be written in English, formatted
according to the Springer LNCS style, and must not exceed four (4)
pages including title page, references and figures.
System descriptions submission is electronic, via the conference
home page .

4th Open Workshop of MUSICNETWORK:
Integration of Music in Multimedia Applications
http://www.interactivemusicnetwork.org/
LOCATED AT: Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain, 15th-16th September
2004
http://dmag.upf.es/wedelmusic2004/Documents/Location.html
Co-located with WEDELMUSIC 2004 Conference:
http://www.upf.edu/wedelmusic2004/
You are invited to participate at the Workshop and to contribute to the
sessions.
With the support of the European Commission, the MUSICNETWORK project has
been created to explore the applications and integration of interactive
multimedia technologies for Music, enabling inter- and trans-disciplinary
collaborations and networking, bridging many important sectors, including
cultural, commercial, industrial, research and academic. End users are
discovering the multimedia experience, and thus, traditional music models
are going to be overcome and replaced by their integration with multimedia,
audiovisual and cross media. Thus the aim is to put together industry
actors and innovative technology providers to help the music industry to
overcome the present problems with the innovation.
The theme of the 4th Open Workshop is the Integration of Music in
Multimedia applications. Currently many new music-related applications are
strongly impacting and attracting the market. Most of them will become more
and more widespread in a short time due to users' demand. Among most
addressed sectors the one presenting more notable form of integration
between music and multimedia there are:
-- music education (notation tools integrating multimedia, educational
paradigms, tools, distance
learning, mobile learning, etc.);
-- music management in libraries (modeling, navigation, metadata, content
description, etc., MPEG-7),
-- entertainment (animation, synchronisation, etc., SMIL );
-- music and multimedia music distribution and protection (watermarking,
fingerprint, MPEG-21);
-- valorization of cultural heritage (modeling, restring, etc.);
-- electronic consumer applications: piano keyboards with symbolic music
representation and audiovisual
capabilities, electronic lecterns, i-TV;
-- mobile applications for education and entertainment (cellular phones,
PDA, tablet PC, etc.).
In the current Internet and Multimedia age other applications are strongly
attracting market attention and most of them will become soon widespread in
short time. The integration of symbolic music representation in MPEG could
completely satisfy users' requirements for properly handling such issue
into tools, allowing to integrate into a single model the powerful one of
MPEG for multimedia, representation, coding and playback. The integration
of symbolic music representation with MPEG or other multimedia standards
will open the way for a large number of new applications and markets
related to the above applications. This initiative may increase the current
market for symbolic music representation, which is mainly dedicated to
sheet music production. It may also open the path to creating very
interesting new applications, and to increase the power and flexibility of
those applications that already use both multimedia and symbolic music
representation. MPEG has relevant standards in this area such as MPEG-4 for
the audio visual objects, MPEG-7 for the description of audio visual
content for archives, and MPEG-21 for the Digital Rights Management and
distribution of digital audiovisual.
At present, there is a lack of an integrated Music Notation/Representation
standard with multimedia. The aim of this workshop is to make a further
step towards a proper standardizing of a Music Notation/Representation
Model. The MUSICNETWORK has worked very hard to create the conditions for a
Call for Proposals/Technologies within MPEG with the aim of exploiting the
MPEG framework for integrating Music Notation/Representation in several
innovative applications. As a results an MPEG Ad Hoc Group on Symbolic
Music Representation has been created, a large set of requirements and
innovative applications have been identified and a call for technology can
be launched. All this material can be recovered from:

http://www.interactivemusicnetwork.org/mpeg-ahg/W6457%20%28Draft%20CfP%20Symbolic%20Music%20Representation%29.doc
To this end, the next Open Workshop of the MUSICNETWORK will be mainly
focused on the integration of MUSIC and MULTIMEDIA in an effective CROSS
MEDIA. Several different formats and media may share the same information
and grant navigation, synchronization and stable relationships establishment.
The 4th Open Workshop will be organized around the following sections. For
each section we are open to receive proposals and contributions:
***Applications and Technical papers***
chairs: Jerome Barthelemy (IRCAM, Jerome.Barthelemy@ircam.fr), David
Crombie (FNB, dcrombie@fnb.nl),
David Fuschi (ILABS, d.fuschi@giuntilabs.it), Giuseppe Nicotra (ARCA,
nicotra@dodiesis.com).
The topic of interests for the Application session is wide ranging. For
this section, we are going to accept papers and proposals from Experts and
from Industries coming from different areas of music for finals user
applications and/or innovative technologies. Proposals may be Industrial
presentations of music applications or experts papers. The session will be
focused on current applications, case-studies, applications scenarios,
latest development, as well as future directions, innovative technologies.
It includes, but not limited to the following areas:
o Education, cooperative work, distance learning, mobile learning, etc.
o Entertainment, consumer electronics, music and games, animation,
synchronization, etc.
o cultural heritage, exploitation of cultural assets, archives,
museums, restoration, etc.
o music distribution and protection, fingerprint, monitoring,
business models, mobiles, etc.
o music exploitation, economical impacts of content fruition on new
media, etc.
o accessibility and culture, technology for supporting accessibility,
etc.
o music modeling and representation, etc.
These interdisciplinary domains share one common point the applications of
science and technologies in Music or the applications of Music in
interactive multimedia domains
***MPEG SMR, Symbolic Music Representation, Call for Technology***
Chairs: Paolo Nesi (DSI, nesi@dsi.unifi.it), Giorgio Zoia (EPFL,
Giorgio.Zoia@epfl.ch). The idea of this section is to provide support to
industries and groups that intent to respond at the Call for Technology of
MPEG regarding the SMR http://www.interactivemusicnetwork.org/mpeg-ahg/.
The work activities in this section will be mainly devoted in making clear
what MPEG forum expects in response to the CALL and what the MPEG could
provide in terms of benefits and return of investment to these companies.
The registration to this event is strongly suggested, and should be
accompanied by a simple document including a list of possible questions or
point that you are interested to see discussed during this section. The
major points will be:
o Presentation of the MPEG SMR Call for Technology, aims and goals
o Presentations of the proponents
o Open discussion to support proposers
You are invited to participate at the Workshop and to contribute to the
above sessions.
