International Workshop on Time Series Data Sonification
in conjunction with Tsukuba Global Science Week
29-30 September, 2015 - Tsukuba
Call for Participation
We are delighted to announce that the International Workshop on Time Series Data Sonification (TSDS2015) will be held on 29-30 September 2015, in Tsukuba, Japan, as a part of Tsukuba Global Science Week (TGSW2015).
Global phenomena that unfold in sequence are generally represented in the form of time series data. In this interdisciplinary workshop, we aim to establish a collaborative relationship among international researchers from various fields, to address the issues and problems that are commonly found in interfacing people and time-series data with sound, and to discover the exciting directions for future research in the field.
In addition to the invited talks, we are now looking for your contribution for either short (5-10 minutes) or long (15-20 minutes) presentations. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Time series data sonification
- Real-time sonification and interaction
- Introduction of time series data for potential sonification projects
- Perception and cognition
This workshop is free and open to public. Registration is not required, but highly recommended due to limited space.
