AI and music workshop

                 ECAI Workshop on
         Artificial Intelligence and Music

 Stockholm, Sweden.                  Tuesday, August 7, 1990

This workshop is the successor of the four previous workshops held in
the last two years: the AAAI-88 (St.Paul) and IJCAI-89 (Detroit)
Workshops, the GMD Workshop that preceded the International
Computer Music Conference (Bonn, Sept. 88), and the
European Workshop on AI and Music (Genoa, June 89).
AI and Music is an emerging discipline that involves such fields as
artificial intelligence, music, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, and
education. The last four workshops demonstrated a mixture of
methods, that range from somewhat technical application of AI methods
to music problems, to theoretical cognitive research.
This workshop will focus on further deepening our understanding of
those AI techniques and approaches that are relevant to music, and
on the relevance of music to AI research.

The workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
 Cognitive Musicology
 Expert Systems and Music
 Knowledge Representation and Music
 Tutoring
 Neural Computation and connectionist approaches in Music
 Composition, Performance, Analysis tools (based on AI techniques)
 Multi-media Composition and Performance

The Workshop is scheduled during the  ECAI Tutorials (August, 7),
held immediately before the  ECAI Scientific Meeting  (August, 8-10).
