Int. Conf. on Auditory Display
ICAD '96:
The Third
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AUDITORY DISPLAY
Palo Alto, California
November 4-6, 1996
Co-sponsored by
Santa Fe Institute
and
Xerox PARC
Continuing the work of the successful ICAD '92 and '94
meetings, ICAD '96 will be held November 4-6, 1996 in Palo
Alto, California, USA. ICAD is a forum for presenting
research on the use of sound to display data, monitor
systems, and provide enhanced user interfaces for computers
and virtual reality systems. It is unique in its singular
focus on auditory displays, and the array of perception,
technology, and application areas that these encompass. Like
its predecessors, ICAD '96 will be a single-track
conference. Attendance is open to all, with no membership or
affiliation requirements.

DETAILS AND ARRANGEMENTS
The conference hotel is the:
Holiday Inn Palo Alto-Stanford
625 El Camino Real
Palo Alto, CA 94301
(415) 328-2800
(415) 327-7362 (fax)
The conference rate is $129(single)/$139(double) plus tax
per night. To make reservations, call 1 800 874-3516 and
request the ICAD (International Conference on Auditory
Display) rate.
The hotel does not provide shuttle service to/from regional
airports. They suggest arranging transport on the Santa
Clara Airporter. The fare from San Francisco International
Airport is $17 one-way. You can call the shuttle service at
415-771-7710 to arrange transport in advance, or simply call
the shuttle upon arriving at the airport.
Students interested in less expensive accommodations may
want to stay at the nearby Mermaid Inn for $64 (assuming
double occupancy) a night. The hotel information is:
Mermaid Inn
727 El Camino Real
Menlo Park, CA 94025
(415) 323-9481
It is possible to fly into San Jose airport as Palo Alto is
about equidistant from SF and SJ airports. SJ is also
somewhat more convenient as it's smaller. However, in
general the cheapest airfares probably go through San
Francisco.
NOTE: Since the conference takes place over U.S. Election
Day, U.S. participants will want to obtain absentee ballots.

============================================================
The Santa Fe Institute
The focus of the Santa Fe Institute is research on complex
systems. This work encompasses an extraordinary range of
topics normally studied in seemingly disparate fields.
Natural systems displaying complex adaptive behavior range
upwards from DNA through cells and evolutionary systems to
human societies. The dynamics of complex systems are
difficult to comprehend and even more difficult to
communicate. Data visualization--and more recently data
sonification--are emerging as crucial tools for the
comprehension and communication of complex systems data.
Xerox Palo Alto Research Center
The Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) performs
pioneering research that covers a broad spectrum of research
fields ranging from electronic materials and device research
through computer-based systems and software, to research
into work practices and technologies in use. The center's
mission is to pursue those technologies that relate to
Xerox's current and emerging businesses.
Located in the Stanford University Industrial Park in the
heart of Silicon Valley, PARC was charged upon its founding
in 1970 to be the "architect of the information age." Since
then it has delivered into use such significant pieces of
the current information infrastructure as laser printers,
graphical user interfaces, object-oriented programming
languages, and Ethernet local area networks. PARC has
contributed to user interfaces, electronic components,
embedded software and architectures for each new line of
Xerox copiers, printers and systems reprographics products.
