Inaugural International Conference on Music Communication Science
5-7 December, 2007
UNSW, Sydney, Australia

Announcement and brief CALL FOR PAPERS

Submissions due July 2

The inaugural International Conference on Music Communication Science 
(ICOMCS) will bring together people interested in an interdisciplinary 
understanding or application of music cognition, perception and 
performance. This meeting incorporates a celebration of the first 10 
years of the Australian Music & Psychology Society (formed in 1996; see­ 
http://marcs.uws.edu.au/links/amps/), and will feature four keynote 
speakers. The Conference is supported by the Human Communication Science 
Network (HCSNet ­ www.hcsnet.edu.au), which promotes interdisciplinary 
research in speech, language, and sonics, and will fall under the 
organisational umbrella of the HCSNet SummerFest. The conference will 
attract people from all walks of research and performance life, 
including musicologists, psychologists, educators, linguists, composers, 
engineers, computer scientists, speech scientists, physicists, 
philosophers and performance artists. The aim of the conference is to 
bring a wide range of presenters together, ranging from students to 
established researchers with an interest in finding or presenting 
synergies from several disciplines to help solve problems in music, or 
to use elements of music and music research to address problems in other 
disciplines.

Performance items and research papers will be considered. Abstracts and 
4-page ‘full-papers’ for peer-review can be submitted. Symposia 
organised around predetermined themes are encouraged. Sessions will 
consist of short (4 minute 'Speed' papers) and regular length 
presentations. Submissions are due on Monday July 2.

Details and the full Call for Papers can be found at the ICOMCS web 
site: http://marcs.uws.edu.au/links/ICoMusic. For more information
