Call for Proposal, Papers, Expositions


4th Open Workshop of MUSICNETWORK:


Integration of Music in Multimedia Applications


http://www.interactivemusicnetwork.org/


 


Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain


15th-16th September 2004


http://dmag.upf.es/wedelmusic2004/Documents/Location.html


Co-located with WEDELMUSIC 2004 Conference:


http://www.upf.edu/wedelmusic2004/




With the support of the European Commission, the MUSICNETWORK project has been created to explore the applications and integration of interactive multimedia technologies for Music, enabling inter- and trans-disciplinary collaborations and networking, bridging many important sectors, including cultural, commercial, industrial, research and academic. End users are discovering the multimedia experience, and thus, traditional music models are going to be overcome and replaced by their integration with multimedia, audiovisual and cross media. Thus the aim is to put together industry actors and innovative technology providers to help the music industry to overcome the present problems with the innovation.


The theme of the 4th Open Workshop is the Integration of Music in Multimedia applications. Currently many new music-related applications are strongly impacting and attracting the market. Most of them will become more and more widespread in a short time due to users’ demand. Among most addressed sectors the one presenting more notable form of integration between music and multimedia there are:


·        music education (notation tools integrating multimedia, educational paradigms, tools, distance learning, mobile learning, etc.);


·        music management in libraries (modeling, navigation, metadata, content description, etc., MPEG-7),


·        entertainment (animation, synchronisation, etc., SMIL );


·        music and multimedia music distribution and protection (watermarking, fingerprint, MPEG-21);


·        valorization of cultural heritage (modeling, restring, etc.);


·        electronic consumer applications: piano keyboards with symbolic music representation and audiovisual capabilities, electronic lecterns, i-TV;


·        mobile applications for education and entertainment (cellular phones, PDA, tablet PC, etc.).


Free registration, please do via the WWW site of the MUSICNETWORK. The registration is not mandatory but is strongly suggested, we need to set up suitable logistic support for the right number of participants.

Peeking the forum...


During the past month very briefly we had the following in our WGs forums:


In the NOTATION WG a “limited survey of an unlimited subject” as the world’s music notation is, its evolution and its variability around the globe is being carried out, with collaboration with the rest of working groups. Most of the work and effort of this workgroup is being focused on the MPEG AHG where you can find all details about the progress of the work carried out.

In the EDUCATION working group, some interesting links and articles have been provided such as for web resources on instruments museums, as well as news about Ubrick systems’ distance learning platform for deaf students.

In the IMAGING working group, news about Corbis corporation being expanding into a digital media provider is provided, as well as collaboration in the survey being carried out by the notation working group.

In the PROTECTION working group some very interesting news about Apple’s iTune’s DRM technology is given, its base technology and concept, as well as news about it being hacked. Thoughts about the fragile balance between the artists’ copyrights and public’s rights have also been the base for a fruitful and significant conversation in the forum.

In the DISTRIBUTION working group, OMA announced the release of OMA DRM 2.0 Enable Release for high-value content distribution, while the communication report of the European Commission concerning copyrights management is also available at the forum. Finally, Intel’s intention to cooperate with MusicMatch for a future bundle release of boutique PCs is also mentioned, as well as RealNetworks release of an updated version of their media player, which was commented and discussed thoroughly.

In the Symbolic music representation group, a discussion is taking place about the MPEG glossary that has to be created in the framework of this task, the structural orientation of the symbols and other visual issues concerning the 4th mandate.



 


Apart from the documents section in the forum, do not forget to read the news section regularly. There you can find the “distilled” news about digital music industry, and much more!
