Calls

Candidates for the organization of FISEA 94

 

– The First International Symposium on Electronic Art (FISEA) took place

in 1988 in Utrecht, Holland. It was sponsored by the Foundation for   Creative Computer Applications and the Utrecht School of Arts.

– The Second International Symposium on Electronic Art (SISEA) took place   in 1990 in Groningen, Holland. It was sponsored by the Groningen   Polytechnic.

– The Third International Symposium on Electronic Art (TISEA) will be held   in Sydney, Australia in 1992, sponsored by the Australian Network for   Art & Technology (ANAT) and the Australian Film Commission.

– The Fourth symposium (FISEA 93) takes place in Minneapolis, USA, in   1993, and is sponsored by the Minneapolis College of Art & Design.

 

The ISEA is looking for (preferably) European candidates for the organization of the Fifth International Symposium on Electronic Art (FISEA 94). There is already a candidate for this symposium in the U.S., but ISEA aims at having the symposia alternately in Europe and elsewhere. Preferably, the Fifth symposium (FISEA 94) takes place in Europe. The organizer must be able to raise the necessary funding by itself. ISEA will give all the assistance it can provide, but is not able to assist financially.

 

Potential candidates (non-european candidates too) can write to:

Context: The workshop will take place in the context of the 10th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI-92)

 

Date: Monday, August 3, or Tuesday, August 4, 1992 – Main topic: REPRESENTATION OF MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE

– integration of symbolic and subsymbolic models;

– Implemented knowledge representation systems and languages;

– Intelligent human-computer interaction (Implications of AIM in multimedia systems etc.); The workshop will feature some papers presented in the form of talks, but the main stress will be put on discussions. There will also be some extended panel or round-table discussions with invited speakers on specific topics of interest.Researchers interested in participating in the workshop are invited to submit abstracts (one page) or full-length papers on completed or on-going research related to the above-mentioned topics. All submissions must be in triplicate. Submissions should be sent to the local workshop organizer (address see below).
