Call for Papers
SysMus enters its 10th year!
Come celebrate with us in London! SysMus17 is coming September
13th-15th 2017 and will be hosted by the Music Cognition Lab at Queen
Mary, University of London.
We invite presentations in the form of live spoken papers, virtual
spoken papers and poster presentations. Please see details below.
WHAT TO SUBMIT:
Please submit two abstracts via the submission system (see below):
1. Short Abstract
· The short abstract should be no more than 150 words in
length, and concisely summarise the work that you wish to present.
This is what will go into the abstract book.
2. Extended Abstract
· The extended abstract gives you more opportunity to describe
the motivations for your work and the methodology used, as well as
providing more detailed results and conclusions. This abstract should
use the template provided on the SysMus17 website, and be submitted in
.doc or .docx format (word limit: 300 words; maximum file size: 3 MB).
This is what will go into the proceedings, should you not wish to
submit a paper.
Abstracts should be no more than 150 words (short) or 300 words
(extended) in length, be written in English, and address one of the
conference topics listed below. All submissions will be considered for
both spoken paper (live or virtual) and poster presentation
categories. However, the author can indicate a preference for either
spoken (live or virtual) or poster presentation in the submission
form. All abstracts will be submitted via an online system (see
below). Submissions are due February 28th, 2017.
Researchers should avoid referring to their own names within the
submitted abstracts, as acceptance will be determined by anonymous
peer review. Researchers may submit only one abstract.
All accepted presenters are invited to submit a 4-6-page proceedings
article that will be published online. The deadline for submitting
this proceedings article is June 30th, 2017.
