The complete program of the conference is available at http://smc2010.smcnetwork.org/programme.htm

Our original goal in organizing SMC 2010 was to keep the conference to a relatively small size, while continuing the effort in promoting quality research on the interdisciplinary aspects of the SMC field and also continuing the effort in emphasizing the involvement of young researchers. After the conference has finished we can confirm that our original goals have been fulfilled. The Summer School that took place just before the conference included lectures and group projects around the topic of soundscapes, combining both artistic and technological approaches. A set of tutorials offering hands-on training on relevant software tools for the field took place the day before the conference. For the concerts we received 60 music submissions from which 30 pieces were selected. For the paper presentations we received 130 submissions, from which 30 were chosen to be presented as oral presentations and 45 were chosen to be presented as posters. All the selected articles have been published electronically under a Creative Commons License on http://smcnetwork.org/resources/smc2010

Thanks to all the participants for making SMC 2010 a successful event.

Since the 1950's, Sound and Music Computing (SMC) research has been producing a profound impact on the development of culture and technology in our post-industrial society. SMC research approaches the whole sound and music communication chain from a multidisciplinary point of view. By combining scientific, technological and artistic methodologies it aims at understanding, modelling, representing and producing sound and music using computational approaches. This book, by describing the state of the art in SMC research, gives hints of future developments, whose general purpose will be to bridge the semantic gap, the hiatus that currently separates sound from sense and sense from sound.
