This is the 2nd Call for Participation for the 14th International Symposium on Computer Music Multidisciplinary Research (CMMR 2019) which will be held in Marseilles, France, on 14-18 October 2019.

CMMR 2019 is organised by the PRISM (AMU-CNRS) laboratory, GMEM, n+n corsino, QMUL (London, UK) and INESC TEC (Porto, Portugal).

The theme of CMMR 2019 is Perception, Representations, Image, Sound, Music.

CMMR will take place at the CNRS campus (GLM) and at the center for artistic creation and innovation, la Friche de la Belle de Mai.

The conference includes a scientific programme with oral presentations, posters, demos and workshops. It also features a music/arts programme with daily concerts and performances.

CMMR 2019 will commemorate the French computer music pioneer Jean-Claude Risset. 
We’re delighted to announce that our first confirmed keynote speaker for CMMR 2019 is computer music pioneer and composer John Chowning, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University!
John Chowning and Jean Claude Risset were close friends and collaborators for more than 50 years. 


We invite submissions for papers, music, and demos that span the field of multidisciplinary music research, but especially those aligned with the conference theme.

We also invite proposals for both hands-on/interactive and regular workshops.

The full list of topics and further instructions about the preparation of submissions can be found here:

EPIA’19 invites submissions to the Doctoral Symposium on Artificial Intelligence, SDIA. The goal of this symposium is to provide an informal environment where students in early stages of their doctoral research can present their main ideas and discuss them with other students and the senior scientific community. The main advantages of SDIA-19 are three-fold:

Students obtain feedback from the scientific community, in a early stage of the doctoral research.
To give students the opportunity to present their work in an informal environment, as a preparation to future presentations in international workshops and conferences.
Students have the opportunity to know the work of other students that are in the same stage of doctorial work and that have similar research interests.
SDIA is promoted by APPIA – Associação Portuguesa para a Inteligência Artificial (Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence), and it aims at improving the quality of Ph.D. thesis in Artificial Intelligence.

10th Thematic Track on

MultiAgent Systems: Theory and Applications (MASTA @ EPIA2019)

3-6 September 2019, Vila Real, Portugal

———-

CALL FOR PAPERS

———-

Aims and Scope

Research on Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) has a vigorous, exciting tradition and has led to important theories and systems. However, new trends and concerns are still emerging and form the basis of current and future research. The 10th thematic track on “MultiAgent Systems: Theory and Applications”, to take place at EPIA 2019, and will provide a discussion forum on the most recent and innovative work in all areas of MAS.

The unifying focus of the thematic track will be on methodological aspects. Both theoretical and practical research should be situated in the context of existing or new methodologies. This will not preclude any specific topic, but preference will be given to research work that establishes some connection with the methodological aspects or to successful applications built upon some methodology.

Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Agent theories, architectures and models

• Agent-based systems Interoperability

• Agreement technologies

• Applications of agents and MAS (industrial and commercial)

• Artificial social systems

• Automated negotiation and computational argumentation

• Cognitive models, including emotions and philosophies

• Communication: languages, semantics, protocols, and conversations

• Cooperation, coordination and teamwork in MAS

• Ethical and legal issues raised by autonomous agents and MAS

• Formal methods for modelling agents and agent-based systems

• Human-agent interaction

• Learning in MAS

• Multiagent evolution, emergent behavior and adaptation

• Multiagent modelling and simulation

• Scalability and performance of MAS

• Societal issues: organizations, institutions, norms, socio-technical systems

• Trust, reputation, privacy and security

Paper Submission Instructions

All accepted papers will be published by Springer in a volume of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) corresponding to the proceedings of the 19th EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence, EPIA 2019.

Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. Papers should not exceed twelve (12) pages in length and must adhere to the formatting instructions of the conference. Each submission will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. The reviewing process is double blind, so authors should remove names and affiliations from the submitted papers, and must take reasonable care to assure anonymity during the review process. References to own work may be included in the paper, as long as referred to in the third person. Acceptance will be based on the paper’s significance, technical quality, clarity, relevance and originality. All accepted papers must be presented orally the conference by one of the authors and at least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference.

All papers should be submitted in PDF format through the EPIA 2019 EasyChair submission page. Prospective authors should select the thematic track to which their paper is to be submitted.
