CFP- ICAD 2015
Dear all,
(With apologies for cross posting, please distribute!)
This is a reminder that the call for participation for ICAD15 is
currently open.http://icad15.iem.at
Call for Papers, Posters, Extended Abstracts, Music, Installations,
and Workshops - ICAD 2015
“ICAD in Space: Interactive Spatial Sonification”
The 21st International Conference on Auditory Display
July 6 - 7 Workshops and Student Think Tank
July 8 - 10 Conference
University of Music and Performing Arts and Technical University of
Graz, Austria.
The conference is organised by the Institute of Electronic Music and
Acoustics (IEM). IEM is one of the leading institutions in the field
of audio engineering and computer music. As part of the University of
Music and Performing Arts Graz, IEM is a multidisciplinary
institution, whose general mission is to bridge the gap between
science and the arts. As a unique characteristic, IEM focuses on
sonification as part of its research in computer music. IEM facilities
include laboratories and performance spaces such as CUBE, which are
equipped with spatial audio and motion tracking systems. Since 2014,
IEM hosts the Sonic Interaction Design (SID) lab, in which interactive
sound systems are designed and evaluated.
ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary conference with relevance to
researchers, practitioners, artists, and graduate students working
with sound to convey and explore information. The conference is unique
in its specific focus on auditory displays and the range of
interdisciplinary issues related to their use. Like its predecessors,
ICAD15 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no
membership or affiliation requirements. In addition to ICAD's core
interests, we would like to take the opportunity of the conference
being held at IEM to highlight this yearʼs theme ICAD in Space:
Sonification, Sonic Interaction Design, and Spatial Audio.

Accepted papers will be included in the published proceedings and made
publicly available in the Georgia Tech SMARTech system
(http://smartech.gatech.edu/). The types of submissions solicited for
ICAD15 include:
::::::::::::::::: PAPERS AND POSTERS:::::::::::::::::
Paper and poster submissions will be 4-8 pages in length, including
all figures and references. Typical paper contributions are between 6
- 8 pages, and typical poster contributions are 4 - 5 pages long. Full
papers should describe work that offers a substantial contribution to
the field of auditory display. Authors of accepted papers will be
invited to give an oral presentation of their work, and at least one
author must present the work at the conference for the paper to appear
in the proceedings. Poster submissions should describe both finished
work and work in late stages of progress. Work that is complete enough
that meaningful conclusions can be drawn at the time of submission are
encouraged. Authors of accepted submissions will be invited to
participate in a poster and/or demonstration session, and at least one
author must present the work at the conference for the paper to appear
in the published proceedings. When weighing the decision to submit to
poster and demonstration sessions, we encourage authors to consider
their work in relation to the potential positive benefits (both to
authors and their audiences) afforded by the personal interactions
that occur in this type of session.
Authors of selected full papers will be invited to submit an extended
version (up to 12 pages) of their papers for publication in a Special
Issue of the Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces (JMUI): Auditory
Display.
(http:// www.springer.com/computer/hci/journal/12193)
::::::::::::::::: EXTENDED ABSTRACTS :::::::::::::::::
Extended abstracts include, but are not limited to late-breaking
results, works in early stages of progress, novel methodologies,
unique or controversial theoretical positions, and discussions of
unsuccessful research or null findings. Submissions for extended
abstracts require a proceedings paper of up to 2 pages in length.
Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to give a short
presentation of their work, and at least one author must present the
work at the conference for the abstract to appear in the published
proceedings. The deadline of the extended abstracts is later to allow
very recent contributions in the field.

::::::::::::::::: MUSIC AND INSTALLATIONS:::::::::::::::::
We invite submissions of music and sound installations. Sonification
should be a constitutive element of the proposed works. Priority will
be given to works employing space and interaction as additional
dimensions to an artistic data exploration. We therefore especially
encourage the submission of multichannel electroacoustic or acousmatic
pieces and interactive sound installations.
The works will be reviewed by an international panel of sound and
sonification experts. Preference will be given to submissions that are
technically feasible and have a clear documentation of the setup. At
least one of the authors who wish to have their works presented at
ICAD15 must register and attend to the conference. As we would like to
extend the presentation of these works beyond the time limits of the
conference, authors of accepted works are encouraged to present their
work also online using the Research Catalogue
(http://www.researchcatalogue.net), an international database for
artistic research. The conference page will provide a portal to these
presentations.
Music Co-Chairs

::::::::::::::::: WORKSHOPS ::::::::::::::::
ICAD workshops and tutorials provide in-depth opportunities for
conference attendees to discuss and explore important topics in the
field of auditory display with like-minded researchers and
practitioners. Please submit concepts for “hands-on” workshops or
discussion platforms, possibly allowing participants to contribute,
but no paper sessions on their own. Focus areas can range from
applications and programming methodologies to interdisciplinary
research skills, emerging concepts, and challenge problems.
Space, facilities, technical support, and the number of sessions that
can be accepted are limited, so early submission of proposals is
encouraged. Workshop and tutorial organizers are expected to
collaborate with the conference committee, issue calls for
participation, gather and review contributed materials (if
appropriate), and decide upon the final program for their session.
Workshop Co-Chairs
Franz Zotter and Derek Brock

::::::::::::::::: SONIFICATION CONTEST ::::::::::::::::
The call for the Sonification Contest will be released in early 2015.
::::::::::::::::: STUDENT THINK TANK ::::::::::::::::
The call for the Student Think Tank will be released in early 2015.
We will provide child care during the conference and workshops. If you
travel with a kid/ kids please drop us an email ahead of time.
