ICAD is the premier forum for presenting research on the use of sound to

on audio and the array of perception, technology, design and application
areas that it currently encompasses. Like its predecessors, ICAD 2000 will
be a single-track conference.  Attendance is open to all, with no
membership or affiliation requirements.

(but not limited to) the following topics:
