Dear all,

The third conference on Computer Simulation of Musical Creativity
(CSMC) will be held from 2-4th October, 2019 at The Technische
Universität Berlin (TU Berlin). The main goal of this conference is to
bring together scholars from different backgrounds, interested in
virtual emulation of musical creativity, providing an
interdisciplinary platform to promote, present and discuss their work.

We accept submissions for papers, panels, technical demonstrations,
concert performance proposals, compositions, and posters. Submissions
can cover both theoretical and/or practical aspects of the computer
simulation of musical creativity. Interdisciplinary proposals at the
intersection of music, computer science, psychology and philosophy are
welcome. Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to:

Computer Systems
- systems capable of generating music;
- systems capable of performing music;
- systems capable of (online) improvisation;
- systems capable of analysing music;
- music-robotic systems;
- systems implementing societies of virtual musicians;
- systems that foster and enhance the musical creativity of human users;
- music recommendation systems;
- systems implementing computational aesthetics, emotional responses,
novelty and originality;

Theory
- surveys of state-of-the-art techniques in the area;
- validation methodologies;
- philosophical foundations of creative music systems;
- mathematical foundations of creative music systems;
- evolutionary models for creative music systems;
- cognitive models for creative music systems;
- studies on the applicability of music-creative techniques to other
research areas;
- new models for improving creative music systems.

Peer-Review Process and Proceedings
All papers are double-blind peer reviewed by at least two specialists.
Proceedings will be published online. Extended versions of selected
papers will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Creative
Music Systems (http://jcms.org.uk/).

Submission Deadline: 15th July 2019
Acceptance decision: 15th August
Camera-ready papers: 31st August
