Thus, evom= usart 2013 is the eleventh European Event and the second International Conf= erence on Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Music, Sound, Art and Desi= gn. The use of biologically inspired techniques for the development of artistic= systems is a recent, exciting and significant area of research. There is a= growing interest in the application of these techniques in fields such as:= visual art and music generation, analysis, and interpretation; sound synth= esis; architecture; video; poetry; design; and other creative tasks. The main goal of evomusart 2013 is to bring together researchers who are us= ing biologically inspired computer techniques for artistic tasks, providing= the opportunity to promote, present and discuss ongoing work in the area. The event will be held from 3-5 April, 2013 in Vienna, Austria as part of t= he evo* event. Submissions will be rigorously reviewed for scientific and artistic merit. = Accepted papers will be presented orally or as posters at the event and inc= luded in the evomusart proceedings, published by Springer Verlag in a dedic= ated volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The acceptance= rate at evomusart 2012 was 34.9% for papers accepted for oral presentation= , or 46.5% for oral and poster presentation combined. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= - Topics of interest ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= - Submissions should concern the use of biologically inspired computer techni= ques -- e.g. Evolutionary Computation, Artificial Life, Artificial Neural N= etworks, Swarm Intelligence, other artificial intelligence techniques -- in= the generation, analysis and interpretation of art, music, design, archite= cture and other artistic fields. Topics of interest include, but are not li= mited to: -- Generation - Biologically Inspired Design and Art -- Systems that create drawings, im= ages, animations, sculptures, poetry, text, designs, webpages, buildings, e= tc.; - Biologically Inspired Sound and Music -- Systems that create musical pie= ces, sounds, instruments, voices, sound effects, sound analysis, etc.; - Robotic-Based Evolutionary Art and Music; - Other related artificial intelligence or generative techniques in the fi= elds of Computer Music, Computer Art, etc.; -- Theory - Computational Aesthetics, Experimental Aesthetics; Emotional Response, S= urprise, Novelty; - Representation techniques; - Surveys of the current state-of-the-art in the area; identification of w= eaknesses and strengths; comparative analysis and classification; - Validation methodologies; - Studies on the applicability of these techniques to related areas; - New models designed to promote the creative potential of biologically in= spired computation; -- Computer Aided Creativity and computational creativity - Systems in which biologically inspired computation is used to promote th= e creativity of a human user; - New ways of integrating the user in the evolutionary cycle; - Analysis and evaluation of: the artistic potential of biologically inspi= red art and music; the artistic processes inherent to these approaches; the= resulting artefacts; - Collaborative distributed artificial art environments; -- Automation - Techniques for automatic fitness assignment; - Systems in which an analysis or interpretation of the artworks is used i= n conjunction with biologically inspired techniques to produce novel object= s; - Systems that resort to biologically inspired computation to perform the = analysis of image, music, sound, sculpture, or some other types of artistic= object. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= - Important Dates ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= - Submission: 1 November 2012 Conference: 3-5 April 2013 Notification to authors: 21 December 2012 Camera-ready deadline: 15 January 2013 Evo*: 3-5 April 2013 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= - Additional information and submission details ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= - Submit your manuscript, at most 12 A4 pages long, in Springer LNCS format (= instructions downloadable from=20 http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=3D0-164-6-793341-0 no later than November 1, 2012. =20 The reviewing process will be double-blind; please omit information about t= he authors in the submitted paper.
