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>

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.

- 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.
