The 6th International Conference on Music Information Retrieval, ISMIR
2005, will be held at Queen Mary, University of London, from Sunday
Sept. 11th to Thursday Sept. 15th, 2005.

The annual ISMIR Conference is the established international forum for
those working on accessing digital musical materials. It reflects the
tremendous recent growth of music-related data available and the
consequent need to search within it in order to retrieve and use music
and musical information efficiently and effectively. These concerns are
of interest to education, academia, entertainment and industry. ISMIR
therefore aims to provide a place for the exchange of news, issues and
results, by bringing together researchers and developers, educators and
librarians, students and professional users, working in fields that
contribute to this multidisciplinary domain, to present original
theoretical or practical work. It also serves as a discussion forum,
provides introductory and in-depth information in specific domains, and
showcases current products.

ISMIR 2005 solicits contributions to the field of music information
retrieval (MIR), including, but not limited to, the following domains
and topics:

* Music libraries, archives and digital collections
* Intellectual property rights and business issues
* Western and non-western musicology, analysis
* Composition, forms and structures, notation
* Knowledge representation
* Music perception, cognition, affect, and emotion
* Human-computer interaction and interfaces
* Databases, languages, protocols
* Systems, internet software, mobile devices
* Metadata, classification, recognition and modelling
* Social and ethical issues

Authors are encouraged to submit contributions in areas they feel belong
to MIR, even if they have not been explicitly mentioned above nor dealt
with in previous ISMIR conferences.

All contributions must be original, and must not have been previously
published, nor be in review for presentation elsewhere. Authors are
required explicitly to demonstrate the relevance of their methods to MIR
and are strongly encouraged to include aural music examples in their
presentations; to facilitate this, we recommend use of copyright-free
examples (see, for example,www.archive.org). Where appropriate, authors
are required to address evaluation of their work in the MIR context.
