::::::::::::::::: PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS :::::::::::::::::
The
International Conference on Auditory Display is
the premiere forum for new 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, design and application areas that these encompass. ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary
conference with relevance to university, industry
and graduate students working in areas that
include psychology, psychoacoustics, media, design, music, sound design, human computer interaction,
accessibility, audio technology, information and
communications technology, computer games, engineering analysis, medicine and a plethora of
other application domains.
ICAD
2005 will be held in Limerick in Ireland, July 6-9
2005. Previous ICADs have been held at the Santa Fe
Institute, Xerox PARC, Glasgow University,
Georgia Tech, Helsinki University of Technology, ATR Labs in Japan, Boston University and Sydney, Australia. Like
its predecessors, ICAD 2005 will be a
single-track conference, open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements.

THEME : Interaction :::::::::::::::::
Interaction
makes sound. If nothing interacts, there is no sound. If there are a lot of
complex interactions, you will get a lot of sound (unless your in total vacuum,
which is not very pleasant). We selected the theme Interaction for ICAD 2005, as
it happens to be one of our main interests in Limerick, an interest shared by
many other researchers in auditory display, hence we would like to invite the
global ICAD community to think more about this. We hope that this theme will
also flavour the second Concert of Sonifications, and open up new vistas of
interactive, real-time performances. We have several possible concert venues on
campus, and will choose one of them to facilitate both the ICAD delegates and
the public.
:::::::::::::::::
TOPICS :::::::::::::::::
The
topics for ICAD include but are not limited to:
*
Aesthetics
*
Accessibility
*
Applications
*
Design theory and methods
*
Evaluation and usability
*

:::::::::::::::::
PAPERS :::::::::::::::::
Papers
are oral presentations of substantial
contribution to the field. Full paper submissions
should be 6-8 pages including images and references. Submissions will be subject to blind
review by an international panel. One of the
authors must present the paper at the conference for it to appear in the proceedings.
:::::::::::::::::
POSTERS :::::::::::::::::
Posters
are a forum for discussion of
work-in-progress. Submissions should be up to 4 pages
including images and references. An international panel will review
submissions. Posters will be presented on a single A0
size sheet during the poster session. One of the authors must present the poster at the conference
for it to appear in the proceedings.
:::::::::::::::::
WORKSHOPS / TUTORIALS / PANELS :::::::::::::::::
Workshops/Tutorials/Panels
are an opportunity to
share experiences with an international community of
experts. Tutorials/Workshops will run for 2-3
hours, Panels will run for 1 hour. Proposals should be up to 4 pages including title, description, and brief
biographies of the presenters. Suggested topics
include software and hardware tools and systems, design and analysis of empirical
experiments, psychological and perceptual issues,
design methods, practical accounts of the process of developing an auditory
display - difficulties encountered, problems solved, guidelines, etc. An
international panel will select proposals.
Workshops/Tutorials/Panels that are presented at the conference will appear in the proceedings.
Currently
proposed workshops:
-
Interactive Sonification
-
Data mining and Sonification
-
Auditory Graphs
-
a Doctorial Consortium is also under consideration.
:::::::::::::::::
CONCERT :::::::::::::::::
We
have several excellent concert venues on campus, ranging from our own main
lecture hall (200 seats, used every year for electro-acoustic music concerts) to
the University Concert Hall (1000 seats, www.uch.ie).
We
hope to engage the global ICAD community in thinking about Interaction, in all
the possible meaning of the word. Interaction between things (makes sound),
sonification of human action (Foley? AUI?), etc.
Just
as last year, we will make some data sets available for sonification, but we
would also like to leave it open for ideas we haven't had -
yet...
