Papers chairs: Areti Andreopoulou and Braxton Boren
Proposals describing work in any area of audio engineering and its related arts and sciences will be considered for inclusion in convention sessions. A detailed list of proposed topics is given below.
Authors may submit proposals in four categories:
1. Complete-manuscript peer-reviewed convention papers
2. Abstract-precis-reviewed convention papers
3. Synopsis-reviewed engineering briefs
4. Workshops/tutorials/masterclasses
Category 1 and 2 proposals are to be submitted electronically to the AES 147th Papers EasyChair system by 2019 May 31.
For the complete-manuscript peer-reviewed convention papers (category 1), authors are asked to submit papers of 4–10 pages to the submission site. These complete-manuscript papers will be reviewed by at least two experts in the field, and authors will be notified of acceptance by 2019 July 5. Final manuscript with revisions requested by the reviewers have to be submitted before 2019 July 26. If rejected as a convention paper (Cat. 1), the proposal may still be accepted for categories 2 or 3.
For abstract-precis-reviewed proposals (Cat. 2), a title, 60-to 120-word abstract, and 500- to 750-word précis of the proposed paper must be submitted by 2019 May 31. Authors will be notified of acceptance by 2019 June 28, and the authors must submit their final manuscripts (4 to 10 pages) before 2019 July 26. If rejected from this category, the proposal may be still be accepted as an engineering brief (Cat. 3).
Papers exceeding 10 pages run the risk of rejection without review. If such a paper is accepted the author will be charged a fee of $25 for every page over 10.
For engineering briefs (Cat. 3), authors must supply a short synopsis to the AES 147th E-Briefs EasyChair system by 2019 August 1 to indicate their desire to present an engineering brief, followed later by an electronic manuscript. Topics for the engineering briefs can be very wide-ranging. Relaxed reviewing of submissions will consider mainly whether they are of interest to AES convention attendees and are not overly commercial. PDF manuscripts of 1–5 pages following the prescribed template must be submitted by 2019 August 30.
Those wishing to submit proposals for sessions under the above heading should complete the submission form on the AES 147th Workshops EasyChair system. These will be considered by the convention committee for suitability, and may be chosen for one of the convention tracks, or as a stand-alone event. A guide deadline of 2019 June 1 is suggested, but this may be adjusted by the convention committee. For questions about this category of submission, contact the convention chairs.
All presenting authors (one per paper for categories 1 to 3) will be required to pay a Presenting Author Fee at the following applicable rate:
AES members (Life member/Fellow/Member/Associate categories): $470
AES student members:$130
Non AES members: $595
These amounts are below advance registration fees for the Convention and are required payment for all presenting authors. No additional registration fee will be payable, all Presenting Authors will receive a Four-day All Access Badge on payment of their Presenting Author Fee.
All convention papers will be available in the AES E-Library no earlier than 10 days before the convention starts. All individual AES members now have free access to the E-Library. Any non-member author paying the non-member price for a four day All Access badge will also be given free access to download the convention papers from the E-Library.
Presenting authors who are student members and whose convention papers (Cat. 1 or 2) are accepted will be eligible for the Student Paper Award at the 147th; peer-reviewed Cat. 1 papers are given preference by the award judges.
Presenting authors of accepted Cat. 1 papers will be eligible for the Best Peer-Reviewed Paper Award.
During the online submission process you will be asked to specify whether you prefer to present your paper in a lecture or poster session. Highly detailed papers are better suited to poster sessions, which permit greater interaction between author and audience. The convention committee reserves the right to reassign papers to any session, lecture or poster.
The submission sites will be available by early March.
