The Symposium

The SBCM ­ Brazilian Symposium on Computer Music is a biannual event 
with international recognition in the field of computer music organized 
by NUCOM, the computer music interest group of the Brazilian Computer 
Society (SBC). This 15th edition will be held from November 23th to 
25th, 2015, at Campinas, São Paulo, and is specially dedicated to the 
theme "Computer Music: beyond the frontiers of signal processing and 
computational models". From electroacoustic experiments to the most 
complex sound generation and human machine interfaces, signal processing 
and computational models always had an important role. The proposed 
theme for this SBCM brings up discussions about aspects that are also 
inherent to the computer music field, as math, creativity, aesthetic 
meaning, virtual reality and social networks.
During the symposium there will be speeches by renowned researchers, 
technical and music paper sessions, discussion panels, and concerts. 
Researchers, scientists, composers, educators, manufacturers, and all 
concerned with the interplay between music and technology are invited to 
submit works.
The program committee will give a prize for the best student papers 
presented at SBCM. Papers that have a student as a major author are 
eligible. Two awards will be given: one for the best technical paper and 
another for the best music paper.

Papers Submission Instructions

Papers must be submitted in PDF format via the JEMS online submission 
system
(https://submissoes.sbc.org.br).

Technical papers, up to 12 pages long, are expected to present original 
research with scientific contributions. Music papers, up to 12 pages 
long, should describe the experience of composers and users of 
computational tools to produce music (see guidelines). All music papers 
must come with music examples. If the paper does not deal with musical 
material then it should be considered a technical paper. Extended 
abstracts of posters, up to 4 pages long, should present on­going 
research. Please carefully comply with instructions in publications 
templates.
Papers which do not fulfill the requirements can not be published. 
Download files for manuscript preparation in accordance with the SBC 
guidelines from
http://compmus.ime.usp.br/sbcm2015
In order to get the paper published, it is required that at least one 
author register for the symposium by Nov. 1st, 2015.

Musical Pieces Submission

It will be accepted compositions (solo, collective, electronic, 
improvisation, acousmatic, multimedia performance, etc.) that make use 
of computational tools in its production and, in particular, those that 
present innovation in the compositional process. Each composer can 
submit up to 3 pieces, however just one will be eligible for 
presentation in the SBCM. The duration of each piece should not exceed 
10 minutes. Please refer to
http://compmus.ime.usp.br/sbcm2015/ for detailed instructions on 
submission
Composers of the selected pieces must register for the symposium by Nov 
1st, 2015. Although the composer’s presence is not compulsory it is 
highly encouraged.
