[DMANET] Call for Papers - EvoMUSART 2021 - 10th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Music, Sound, Art and Design (Seville, Spain, 7-9 April 2021)

------------------------------------------------
Call for papers for the 10th International Conference on Artificial
Intelligence in Music, Sound, Art and Design (EvoMUSART)

Please distribute (apologies for cross-posting)
------------------------------------------------

The 10th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Music,
Sound, Art and Design (EvoMUSART) will be held in Seville, Spain, on
7-9 April 2021, as part of the evo* event.

EvoMUSART webpage: www.evostar.org/2021/evomusart

Special Issue on Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines
The journal "Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines" (Q2, IF:
1.78) will publish a Special Issue called "Evolutionary computation in
Art, music & Design". The editors of this Special Issue will be Juan
Romero and Penousal Machado. Some authors from EvoMUSART 2021 will be
invited to submit a new paper to this Special Issue.

The main goal of EvoMUSART is to bring together researchers who are
using Artificial Intelligence techniques (e.g. Artificial Neural
Network, Evolutionary Computation, Swarm, Cellular Automata, Alife)
for artistic tasks such as Visual Art, Music, Architecture, Video,
Digital Games, Poetry, or Design. The conference gives researchers in
the field the opportunity to promote, present and discuss ongoing work
in the area.

Accepted papers will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series.

IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: 1 November 2020
Conference: 7-9 April 2021

We welcome submissions which use Artificial Intelligence techniques in
the generation, analysis and interpretation of Art, Music, Design,
Architecture and other artistic fields. Submissions must be at most 16
pages long, in Springer LNCS format. Each submission must be
anonymised for a double-blind review process. The deadline for
submission is 1 November 2020. Accepted papers will be presented
orally or as posters at the event and included in the EvoMUSART
proceedings published by Springer Verlag in a dedicated volume of the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Indicative topics include but are not limited to:

* Systems that create drawings, images, animations, sculptures,
poetry, text, designs, webpages, buildings, etc.;

* Systems that create musical pieces, sounds, instruments, voices,
sound effects, sound analysis, etc.;

* Systems that create artefacts such as game content, architecture,
furniture, based on aesthetic and/or functional criteria;

* Systems that resort to artificial intelligence to perform the
analysis of image, music, sound, sculpture, or some other types of
artistic object;

* Systems in which artificial intelligence is used to promote the
creativity of a human user;

* Theories or models of computational aesthetics;

* Computational models of emotional response, surprise, novelty;

* Representation techniques for images, videos, music, etc.;

* Surveys of the current state-of-the-art in the area;

* New ways of integrating the user in the process (e.g. improvisation,
co-creation, participation).
