Papers should be between 4 and 8 pages, written in English and not previously published. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Papers can be submitted as oral or poster demonstrations, but the final decision on the category will be made by the programme committee.

• Oral presentations: 8 pages maximum, 20 minutes for presentation (15 minute talk followed by 5 minutes of Q&A)

Please prepare your contributions using these templates (LaTeX and Office). Submissions are anonymous, therefore authors’ names have to be invisible in your manuscript. All contributions must be written in English.

Submitted papers must be submitted via the SMC2016 conference system and comply with the given templates. Upon acceptance, camera-ready versions should be re-submitted within 14 days. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings which will be available on the conference website as an electronic publication. Please note that per paper at least one of the authors needs to register in order for the paper to be presented and included in the proceedings. In accordance with the SMC tradition, we will award a prize for the best paper. The prize will permit the author(s) to publish an extended version of the paper in a subsequent issue of Computer Music Journal (MIT Press).
