Description: Thisvolumecontainsthefullresearchpapersofthe2nd International Con- renceonMusicandArti?cialIntelligence(ICMAI02),heldinSt. Cecilia’sHall, Edinburgh,UK,12–14September2002. Theconferencewasjointlyorganizedby theFacultyofMusicandtheDivisionofInformatics,UniversityofEdinburgh. Eachofthepapersinthisvolumewasrefereedbyatleastthreereviewersfrom theProgramCommittee. AdditionalpaperswereacceptedasWork-in-Progress reports,publishedseparatelybytheDivisionofInformaticsoftheUniversity ofEdinburgh. Theconferenceprogramalsoincludedround-tablediscussions, electronicmusicconcerts,earlykeyboardintrumentdemonstrations,andvarious socialevents. Thefocusoftheconferencewasontheinterplaybetweenmusicaltheoryand practiceontheonehandandtechniquesandmethodsfromArti?cialIntelligence, includingcomputationalcognitivemodelingofmusicalprocesses,ontheother. Weareespeciallyinterestedinissuesofmusicalrepresentationandanalysis, associatedalgorithms,andtheevaluationofmusicalartefacts.^ MusicpresentsmanychallengesforAIandInformaticsingeneral. Whilethe analogieswithnaturallanguageandwithvisionareproductive,musicrequires novelsolutionstoitsownrepresentationalandalgorithmicproblems. Forthe musician,workinthisareacontributestowardsmusicologicalstudy,composition, performance,interactivesystems,andsoundsynthesis. Threedistinguishedscholarsinthearea,MiraBalaban,Jean-ClaudeRisset, andAntonioCamurri,agreedtogivetheinvitedkeynotes.
