Call for participation,

Audio Engineering Society 42nd Conference on Semantic Audio
Ilmenau, Germany, July 22-24, 2011
Cochairs: Karlheinz Brandenburg and Mark Sandler, Email:

Semantic Audio refers to the research and development targeted toward
content-based handling of digital audio recordings. The rapid evolution
of digital audio technologies, audio compression, and streaming has
significantly changed the way digital audio is created, processed, and
consumed today. New audio content can be produced at a very low cost.
Thus the sheer amount of available audio data grows more and more each
day. Content-based management of audio recordings is essential to enable
efficient use of these data. Aside from audio retrieval and
recommendation techniques, the semantics of audio signals are also
becoming more important in object-oriented audio coding, editing, and
processing. Recent product releases demonstrate this, but many more
innovative functionalities are becoming available.

This conference will give a broad overview of the state of the art and
address many of the new scientific disciplines involved in this
still-emerging field. Our purpose is to continue fostering this line of
interdisciplinary research. This is reflected by the wide variety of
invited speakers presenting at the conference. Talks will be given by
Masataka Goto, Meinard Mueller, Christof Faller, Juergen Herre, Jay
LeBoeuf, Bjoern Schuller and Sebastian Stober. For an up-to-date
