1st Workshop on Sound and Music Computing for Entertainment

Sound and music play a significant role in various forms of entertainment, such as games, movies, and dance. We believe that sound and music computing (SMC) enhances the quality of such entertainment content. Our workshop will discuss how recent developments of SMC will discover new fields and sights of entertainment.

The goal of our workshop is to provide ICEC participants with an opportunity to understand the state-of-the-art in the SMC field and discuss the future entertainment enhanced by SMC technologies. Recently, SMC technologies such as the following have been rapidly developed.

In this workshop, we invite some top-level researchers in these fields. They will introduce recent achievements of the SMC research. Then, based on their talk, we will discuss the future impact and directions of such technologies in the context of entertainment computing (EC).
