Introduction
Digital music is an important and fast-moving
research area. Sophisticated digital tools for the creation,
generation and dissemination of music have established
clear synergies between music and leisure industries, the
use of technology within art, the creative industries and
the creative economy. Digital music research is emerging
as a "transdiscipline" across the usual academic
boundaries of computer science, electronic engineering
and music.
The Digital Music Researh Network (DMRN) aims to promote
research in the area of Digital Music, by bringing together
researchers
from
UK
universities
and
industry in electronic engineering, computer science, and
music.
DMRN will be holding its next 1-day
workshop on Tuesday 22nd Dec 2009.
The workshop will include invited and contributed talks,
and posters will
be on display during the day, including during the lunch
and coffee breaks.
The workshop will be an ideal opportunity
for networking with other people working in the area. There
will also be an opportunity to continue discussions after
the Workshop in a
nearby Pub/Restaurant.

Call for Contributions
You are invited to submit a proposal for a talk and/or
a poster to be presented at this event.
Talks may range from the latest research,
through research overviews or surveys, to opinion pieces
or position statements,
particularly
those likely to be of interest to an interdisciplinary
audience. Most talks will be 20 to 30
minutes,
although there may be some flexibility to accommodate other
lengths depending on the number of submissions. Short announcement
about other items of interest (e.g. future events or other
networks) are also welcome.
Posters can be on any research topic
of interest to the members of the network. Posters (A0
portrait) will be on display through
the day, including lunch break and coffee breaks. The poster
abstracts will be collated into a digest and distributed
on the day,
and authors will be
encouraged to submit an
electronic versions of posters (e.g. in PDF format) to
allow the posters to be viewed after the event.

Poster Instructions
Each poster must fit on a poster board that is 3 feet
(91.4 cm) wide and 6 feet (182.9 cm) tall. However, posters
should not reach down to the floor as this makes them hard
to read. Posters should therefore be no more than 85 cm
(33.5 in) wide and no more than 119 cm (46.9 in) tall (i.e.,
no larger than A0 portrait or A1 landscape).
IMPORTANT: Posters wider than the stated
dimensions will not fit on the poster boards. A0
landscape is TOO WIDE.
