Paolo Nesi MusicNetwork Call for Contribution 3rd MUSICNETWORK Open Workshop MPEG AHG on Music Notation Requirements 13-14 of March 2004, Munich, Germany http://www.interactivemusicnetwork.org http://www.dsi.unifi.it/~nesi/mpeg/ahg-mn-65-66.html http://www.dsi.unifi.it/~nesi/mpeg/MUSICNETWORK-OW-March-2004-Description-v1-4-clean.htm located at: Technische Universität München, Germany: http://www.mpeg-68.de/location.php The Open Workshop of MUSICNETWORK is at its third edition. The modeling of music notation/representation is a complex problem. Music representation can be used for several different purposes: entertainment, music education, infotainment, music archiving and retrieval, music querying, music production, music profiling, etc. In the current Internet and Multimedia age many other applications are strongly getting the market attention and most of them will become more diffuse of the present applications in short time. End users have discovered the multimedia experience, and thus, the traditional music models are going to be replaced by their integration with multimedia, audio visual, cross media. At present, there is a lack of Music Notation/Representation standard integrated with multimedia. The aim of this workshop is to make a further step to arrive at standardizing a Music Notation/Representation Model and Decoder integrated into the MPEG environment, that presently can be regarded as the most active and powerful set of standard formats for multimedia consumers. This 3rd Open Workshop is collocated with the MPEG meeting which starts its activities in the same location the following Monday. This MUSICNETWORK Open Workshop is mainly focused at the standardization activities of MPEG and in particular on the work performed by the AHG (Ad Hoc Group) on Music Notation Requirements: http://www.dsi.unifi.it/~nesi/mpeg/ahg-mn-65-66.html The Open Workshop is organized in three different activities or sub-workshops. The contributions to the mentioned activities have to be proposed with a short summary within the 31st of January, 2004. The workshop goal is to arrive at finalizing a call for technology in the MPEG standardization committee on the basis of the work performed by the AHG and in the Open Workshop. The technical proposals received will be discussed for their presentation and finalization at the workshop. Music Notation/Representation and its Decoding, 13th and 14th of March The topics of this activity are strongly related to the past activity of the AHG on Music Notation Requirements http://www.dsi.unifi.it/~nesi/mpeg/ahg-mn-65-66.html Proposals for the workshop and thus the related discussions have to be mainly focused on: --Music Notation/Representation requirements --Music Protection and Distribution --Music Description and its usage on Archive Query Please Contribute with your work on the above topics, for details see the www site of the workshop: http://www.dsi.unifi.it/~nesi/mpeg/MUSICNETWORK-OW-March-2004-Description-v1-4-clean.htm **Submission of Contributions and Proposals** Submissions of Contributions for the above described workshops and topics can be performed in any moment within the last date of the 31st of January 2004 in their abstract and preliminary version.
