The International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition (ICMPC) takes place every two years, and the 15th event in the series is planned for 23-28 July 2018. Continuing a traditional 6-year cycle, the conference will be combined with the 10th triennial conference of the European Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music (ESCOM).
For the first time, ICMPC15-ESCOM10 will be distributed across hubs on different continents, communicating via an internet cloud. We will strike a new balance between face-to-face and virtual communication and between activities on different continents to create a truly global conference.
The number of people attending each hub will depend on the number of accepted abstracts. The Graz hub will run the peer-review procedure, determine the live program at each hub (in collaboration with hub organizers), and provide guidelines and technical support. Beyond that, the hubs will be nominally equal, offering comparable facilities and program and charging similar registration fees.
Confirmed hubs:
Graz, Austria (Centre for Systematic Musicology, University of Graz)
La Plata, Argentina (Faculty of Fine Arts, National University of La Plata)
Montréal, Québec (Department of Music, Concordia University)
Sydney, Australia (School of the Arts and Media, University of New South Wales)
The SMC Conference is a double-blind peer-reviewed international scientific conference around the core interdisciplinary topics of Sound and Music Computing. This year’s theme is ‘Sonic Crossings’. The hosting organisation will be Cyprus University of Technology, Department of Communication and Internet Studies.
NetSoft 2018 will shed light on the key technology components and systems underlying SDN-NFV, clouds-edges and emerging network service infrastructures for the efficient handling of heterogeneous resources across networks and datacenter domains, and the easy and fast deployment of new ICT services.
As the growing need for agility, automation and autonomy, witnessed by various operating-platform initiatives, is creating new challenges and calling for novel solutions, smart networking with embedded AI leveraging NFV and SDN becomes essential.
This evolution will be reflected in the theme of the 2018 edition of NetSoft: “Achieving smart network softwarization”.
Sónar+D is the international conference organized by Sónar that covers the digital transformation of the creative industry to develop and strengthen talent, exchange knowledge and establish business opportunities. It brings together a combination of activities with a common theme: the relationship between creativity and technology, and the digital transformation of the cultural industries involved.
The ‘QoMEX – 10th International Conference on Quality of Multimedia Experience’ will bring together leading experts from academia and industry to present and discuss current research on multimedia quality, quality of experience (QoE) and user experience.
ICASSP (International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing) is the world’s largest and most comprehensive technical conference focused on signal processing and its applications. As we witness the rapid increase in smart technologies, the theme of ICASSP 2018 is “Signal Processing and Artificial Intelligence: Changing the World.” The conference will feature world-class international speakers, tutorials, exhibits, lectures and poster sessions from around the world.
Coinciding with the 150th anniversary of Technical University Munich (TUM), DAGA invites all of us to take a look at its acoustics tradition: In 1967, Eberhard Zwicker established the Institute of Electroacoustics which was soon joined by Ernst Terhardt and Hugo Fastl. Acousticians will celebrate TUM’s 150th anniversary with a double conference of DAGA and GAMM, the latter being the conference of the International Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, which features numerical acoustics.
DAGA 2018 will again comprise all areas of acoustics. It is organized by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering together with colleagues from the Faculty of Civil, Geo and Environmental Engineering and from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
