Preface

摘要

It is with the great pleasure that Conference on Sound and Music Technology (CSMT) has published its second proceeding with Springer. The conference this year is held in Harbin by Harbin Institution of Technology (HIT). This proceeding contains ten selected papers from submissions and one invited paper ranging from acoustic signal processing to computational musicology. With the first attempt to publish its own proceeding last year, the 6th edition of CSMT has gained a great success in terms of submissions. This year the 7th edition of CSMT has even collected more submissions than the last year. These numbers clearly document the progress that CSMT has made and give a clear sign of the growth of music technology society in China.
