Forum Acusticum 2011 Call for Structured Sessions

[Ville Pulkki <ville@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear colleague,

It is with great pleasure that we hereby invite proposals for structured 
sessions to be included in the Forum Acusticum 2011 - the triennial 
European conference of the European Acoustics Association (EAA), which 
will take place in Aalborg, Denmark from June 27 to July 1, 2011. The 
technical program will include keynote lectures, invited and contributed 
papers in structured parallel sessions and poster presentations.

Each proposal should include the topic of the session as well as the 
person in charge of it (including affiliation and email address), 
tentative list of potential talkers and a brief description of the 
session's scope. For session proposals that fall naturally within the 
working areas of the existing EAA technical committees, please send the 
proposals to:

For Computational Acoustics: CA@xxxxxxxxxx  
For Hydroacoustics: HYD@xxxxxxxxxx  
For Musical Acoustics: MA@xxxxxxxxxx  
For Noise: NOI@xxxxxxxxxx  
For Psychological and Physiological Acoustics: PPA@xxxxxxxxxx  
For Room and Building Acoustics: RBA@xxxxxxxxxx  
For Ultrasound: US@xxxxxxxxxx

The Forum Acusticum embraces all fields of acoustics, and proposals which 
do not relate directly to the existing EAA TC area descriptions are also 
welcome. This could, e.g., be within fields of physical acoustics, audio 
engineering, instrumentation, speech communication, media technologies, 
hearing diagnosis, standardisation, and education. Please send any such 
proposal to NN@xxxxxxxxxxx

The deadline for proposals is October 29th 2010. Session chairs can expect 
notification of session acceptance by November 30th 2010.

The person in charge of a session is responsible for inviting three to ten 
presentations and chairing the session in the conference. The EAA 
encourages that session chairs are assisted by a relevant junior co-chair, 
possibly from the very beginning of the session's organisation. 

Chairmen and invited speakers must eventually register and pay on equal 
terms with other participants, and cover other costs by themselves.

The call for abstracts will follow soon. The deadline for abstracts will 
be January 9th 2011.

We hope that the Forum Acusticum conference will be a fruitful meeting 
point for researchers and practitioners dealing with all fields of 
acoustics and sound-related research.

Welcome to Forum Acusticum 2011 in Denmark!

Flemming Christensen, General Secretary
Dorte Hammershøi, General Chairman
