This Summer School is organized by Casa Paganini - InfoMus Lab in Genova, Italy 
( <http://www.infomus.org> www.infomus.org and  <http://www.casapaganini.org> 
www.casapaganini.org), with the goal of promoting interdisciplinary education 
and research in the field of Sound and Music Computing (SMC). The School is 
aimed at graduate students working on their Master or PhD thesis, but it is 
open to any person carrying out research in this field. 

 

This is the fourth SMC Summer School. The first two were organized by the 
European Coordination Action IST-FET S2S^2 (Sound to Sense – Sense to Sound) in 
Genova (2005) and Barcelona (2006). Last year the Summer School took place in 
Stockholm.

- Poster presentations by the participating students during coffee breaks (1 
hour every day of the School);

- 6 hours hands-on activities by the participating students in collaboration 
with the committee/teachers of the School;

- this year the SMC Summer School is held in connection with the NIME08 Intl. 
Conference (see  <http://nime2008.casapaganini.org> 
http://nime2008.casapaganini.org). The participating students will have free 
access to the NIME Workshops on June 4 and June 8, including oral presentations 
and discussions by experts from industries and by leaders of EU funded projects 
in the field of Sound and Music Computing. The participating students will also 
benefit of the reduced student fee for admission at the NIME08 Conference (June 
4-7). 

 

Lectures are designed to be of interest to any graduate student or researcher 
in the field of Sound and Music Computing. The topics chosen for this year are 
Gesture and Music - Embodied Music Cognition, Mobile Music Systems and Active 
Music Listening, relevant topics in our research fields, which have particular 
methodologies and research strategies. The lectures will present these 
particular methodologies and their application in music related problems. 

 

All the participating students will give short presentations on their current 
research during a speed-talk of four minutes. The emphasis will be given on 
research questions and particularly on methodological issues related to their 
research project. Students will receive a written feedback from the teachers 
that should be useful for the continuation of their research. 

 

All the participating students will present a poster about their PhD work. 
Posters will be on show for all the duration of the Summer School, with 
discussions during coffee breaks. 

 

All students will work on mini-projects focusing on the two themes of the 
Summer School. Results of the mini-projects will be presented on the final day 
of the School. Mini-projects will give the opportunity for hands-on activities 
such as testing software tools or planning of experiments. The organizers will 
prepare materials for small projects involving the EyesWeb XMI open software 
platform ( <http://www.eyesweb.org> www.eyesweb.org) on the topics of the 
school.
