Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the following Call for
Papers:
International Journal of Human Computer Studies
Special Issue on Data Sonification and Sound Design
in Interactive Systems

(IRCAM), Paris)
In our everyday environment, interactions between
objects, human beings and their environments often produce sounds, which are
then used by people (sometimes unconsciously) to experience the world and learn
about it.
Sound design is the process of creating new functional
and meaningful sounds for objects or systems. Sonification is a particular type
of sound design that aims at representing data sets with sound.
Given the intrinsic temporal nature of sound, both sound
design and sonification are well suited to be integrated in interactive
systems.
Sound design and sonification are emerging and
interdisciplinary fields of research looking at how we can take advantage of
our natural ability to learn and understand an interactive system through
sound.
This special issue aims to present a set of
high-quality, high-impact, original research results in sonification and sound
design in interactive systems and related areas.
Papers illustrating new research directions, innovative
approaches, full evaluations of methods and empirical experiences based on
pedagogical, artistic or industrial projects are welcome.
Depending on the application, effective sound design
and sonification can lead to additional benefits including the potential for
pro-environmental behaviour change and improvements in health and well-being.
We particularly welcome papers on two application domains, health and the
environment, however high quality papers in other application domains will also
be considered.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
- Interactive sonification
- Sonic interaction design
- Sound design for interactive systems and products
- Personalisation and customisation of interactive
systems through sonification and sound design
- Articulation of science and the arts in sonification
and sound design for interactive systems
- Perceptual and cognitive studies of sound design and
sonification in interactive systems
- Emotion and aesthetics in interactive sonification
and sound design
- Evaluation methods of sound design and sonification
in interactive systems
Articles must be based on original research, although
extended versions of conference papers may be acceptable if they contain at
least 50% new material.
Complete articles should be submitted by the deadline
of January 20, 2015.
Papers will be subject to the full IJHCS review
process, with decisions expected by April 20, 2015.
