The 15th International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD) May
18-22th 2009, Copenhagen, Denmark Conference Homepage:
http://www.icad09.dk

Re:New - Forum for digital arts, Aalborg University (Esbjerg,
Denmark), LMA-CNRS (Marseille, France) and INCM-CNRS (Marseille,
France) are pleased to present the 15th International Conference on
Auditory Display (ICAD), which is to take place in Copenhagen,
Denmark, May 18-22, 2009. The conference will address all aspects
related to the design of sounds, either conceptual or technical.

Besides traditionally addressed by ICAD topics, we would like to take
the opportunity of ICAD being organized by Re:New to highlight the
ICAD 2009 theme "Timeless Sound" including the universal aspect of
sounds as well as the influence of time in the perception of sounds.

In addition, we are pleased to announce that the 6th International
Symposium on Computer Music Modeling and Retrieval (CMMR2009) will
take place jointly with ICAD 2009. This will offer a great opportunity
to discuss the links between auditory display, sound modeling and
music information retrieval. As for the previous CMMR meetings, we
plan to edit selected ICAD/CMMR papers as a post symposium proceeding
published by Springer Verlag in its famous Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) series.

ICAD 2009 encourages submissions within any aspect of auditory
display, including scientific work related to artistic work as there
will also be possibilities of presenting art-works during the
conference week. This includes music, cross-modal performances,
installations, and similar forms.

ICAD 2009 will address the following topics (but is not limited to) :

• Accessibility
• Applications (fundamental, industrial, artistic, …)
• Design theory and methods
• Evaluation and usability
• Human Factors
• Mappings from data to sound
• Philosophy and culture of auditory displays
• Psychology and Cognition
• Perception and Psychoacoustics
• Synaesthetic representations
• Analysis and Synthesis of Environmental Sounds
• Auditory-Haptic Interaction in Information Display
• Effective Auditory Displays, Listening Abilities, and Learning
• Auditory Display and Interdisciplinarity
• Sounds of objects and events: Perception, Production, and Use in
auditory displays
• Sound Design tools & technologies
• Listening behavior and how to improve the attention of listening
• Auditory Warnings: towards a new design and a better understanding
• Aesthetics of sound objects
• Interacting with sound in VR or AR - Interaction paradigms -
Cognitive aspects
• 3D audio technology for auditory display • Audio Only Gaming •
Sonification of information relationship
• Soundmapping the Genes
• Browsing with sounds
• Auditory display, sound modeling and music information retrieval
