[MEI-L] Music Encoding Conference - Call for Proposals

[Franz Kelnreiter]

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that the Call for Papers of the next Music
Encoding Conference (http://music-encoding.org/mec2016/) has just been
released::

You are cordially invited by the Music Encoding Initiative community to
participate in the Music Encoding Conference, which will be held **18-19
May 2016** (with pre-conference workshops on 17 May and an
"un-conference" day on 20 May) in Montreal, Canada, in cooperation with
McGill University.

Music encoding is a critical component of the emerging fields of digital
musicology, digital editions, symbolic music information retrieval, and
others. At the centre of these fields, the Music Encoding Conference has
emerged as an important cross-disciplinary venue for theorists,
musicologists, librarians, and technologists to meet and discuss new
advances in their fields. The Music Encoding Conference is the annual
focal point for the Music Encoding Initiative community
(http://music-encoding.org), but members from all encoding and analysis
communities are welcome to participate.

Proposals for papers, posters, panel discussions, and pre-conference
workshops are encouraged. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

- music encoding as a theoretical approach for research
- methodologies for encoding, music editing, description and
analysis
- rendering of symbolic music data in audio and graphical forms
- relationships between symbolic music data, encoded text, and
facsimile images
- capture, interchange, and re-purposing of music data and metadata
- ontologies, authority files, and linked data in music encoding and
description
- additional topics relevant to music encoding, editing, and
description

The deadline for all submissions is **15 October 2015**. ConfTool
accepts PDF files only. The submission to ConfTool must include:

- name(s) of author(s)
- title
- abstract
- current or most recent institutional affiliation of author(s) and
e-mail address
- proposal type: paper, poster, panel session, or workshop

All identifying information must be provided in the corresponding fields
of ConfTool only, while the submitted PDF must be anonymized.

For **paper** and **poster** proposals, abstracts of no more than 1000
words, including relevant bibliographic references, are requested.
Please also include a short statement regarding your current interests
related to music encoding.

**Panel session** proposals, describing the topic and nature of the
session and including short biographies of the participants, must be no
longer than 2000 words.

Proposals for half- or full-day pre-conference **workshops**, to be held
on May 17th, should include the workshop's proposed duration, as well as
its logistical and technical requirements.

Friday is planned as **unconference day**, self-organized by the
participants and open for anyone who wants to initiate a discussion on a
topic mentioned above.

Additional details regarding registration, accommodations, etc. will be
announced on the conference web page
(http://music-encoding.org/community/conference/).
