ISMIR 2009 - 10th International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference

The Tenth International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference will take place October 26-30, 2009 (Monday through Friday), in Kobe, Japan. Looking at the recent rapid growth of ISMIR conferences since its inception in 2000 and the expansion of the music information retrieval (MIR) community, MIR people may no longer consider acronym MIR as "music information retrieval" in the strict sense, but rather think that MIR essentially fits "music information research" in a broad sense. Correspondingly, MIR also draws considerable attention from other research/application fields. ISMIR therefore aims to open a new horizon of the exchange and discussion of ideas, issues, results, and perspectives for people of widespread areas, such as representatives of academia, industry, entertainment, and education, including researchers, developers, educators, librarians, students, and professional users. Alongside presentations of original theoretical research and practical work, ISMIR provides introductory and in-depth tutorials, and a venue for the showcase of current MIR-related products and systems.
