The SMC Roadmap was finished two years ago and we would like to update it. At the next Sound and Music Computing Conference in Porto there will be a special session on Current Challenges in Sound and Music Computing, of which I am the chair, with the aim to gather ideas for updating the Roadmap.

The 2009 Summer School in Sound and Music Computing & SID Training School on Interactions with Environmental Sounds will take place in Casa Da Música, Porto, Portugal, July 18th-21st, 2009, just before the 6th Sound and Music Computing Conference.

Important dates:

• April 24th / Deadline for application
• May 12th / Notification of acceptance

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.
