We would like for diverse points of view to engage, by explicitly inviting contributors without a technical background to participate as well.<br class=""><br class="">We strive to make the workshop as interactive as possible, with participants getting the opportunity not just to present their work, but to discuss current research and foster relationships within the community. Therefore, promising ideas, work-in-progress submissions and recently submitted or published works are equally welcome. <br class=""><br class="">The topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: <br class=""><ul class=""><li class="">Music reading systems </li><li class="">Optical music recognition </li><li class="">Datasets and performance evaluation </li><li class="">Image processing on music scores </li><li class="">Writer identification </li><li class="">Authoring, editing, storing and presentation systems for music scores<br class=""></li><li class="">Multi-modal systems <br class=""></li><li class="">Novel input-methods for music to produce written music <br class=""></li><li class="">Web-based Music Information Retrieval services <br class=""></li><li class="">Applications and projects <br class=""></li><li class="">Use-cases related to written music<br class=""></li></ul>Important dates:<br class=""><ul class=""><li class=""><b class="">Submission Deadline </b>Sep 13, 2019 <br class=""></li><li class=""><b class="">Notification Due</b> Sep 27, 2019<br class=""></li><li class=""><b class="">Workshop</b> Nov 2, 2019 (Saturday) from 2pm to 6pm <br class=""></li></ul>Check the website <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/worms2019" class="">https://sites.google.com/view/worms2019</a> for further information.<br class=""><br class="">Please forward this e-mail to anyone who might be interested.<br class=""><br class="">Best regards,<br class=""><br class=""> Jorge Calvo-Zaragoza<br class=""> Alexander Pacha<br class=""> Heinz Roggenkemper</body></html>
