[AUDITORY] [2nd CFP]: 1st International Workshop on the Internet of Sounds


========================
COVID-19 STATUS - UPDATE
========================

Despite COVID-19, we keep on collecting submissions and hope that we can hold IWIS 2020 as planned on September 7-8. We will continue to monitor the evolving situation related to the coronavirus disease outbreak and impact on global travel. We wish to reassure that should a physical workshop be unsafe or should people have travel limitations imposed by national and international authorities, the remote presentations/recordings will be possible. We are also discussing the possibility for a (mainly) virtual workshop on the original dates. We will give you an update as soon as we know more.

Call for papers and demos

 

Acknowledging the ever rising importance of the Internet of Things in our environment, we believe that the time has come to bring together researchers that are considering, or may consider, IoT components to pursue research in the processing of Sound and Music. The scope of potential use is quite large, and we believe that this workshop will be an excellent opportunity to discuss unforeseen research opportunities, challenges, and many other aspects relevant to this emerging research field.


We are thus pleased to invite the community to submit to the 1st International Workshop on the Internet of Sounds (IWIS 2020, https://www.fruct.org/IWIS2020). The Internet of Sounds is an emerging research field positioned at the intersection of the Internet of Things and Sound and Music Computing domains. The workshop will be hosted at the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science of University of Trento.


The aim of the workshop is to bring together academics and industry to investigate and advance the development of Internet of Sounds technologies by using cutting-edge tools and processes. The event will consist of presentations from academics and keynotes, poster presentations, demonstrations, as well as tutorials.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  • Wireless acoustic sensor networks
  • Detection and classification of sounds in acoustic sensor networks
  • Visualization and Sonification of acoustic sensor networks
  • Ecoacoustics
  • Privacy and security in acoustic sensor networks 
  • Smart Musical Instruments
  • Musical haptics for the Internet of Musical Things
  • Participatory live music performances
  • Networked music performances
  • Music education applications for the Internet of Musical Things
  • Intelligent music production in Internet of Musical Things contexts
  • Ubiquitous music
  • Web Audio for the Internet of Sounds
  • Spatial audio for the Internet of Sounds
  • Sonification for Internet of Sounds applications
  • Protocols and exchange formats for the Internet of Sounds
  • Improving accessibility and inclusiveness within the Internet of Sounds
  • Open audio databases for Deep Learning and Data Mining
  • Challenges in the management and delivery of large audio databases
  • Visualization, access and indexing of audio databases
  • Cloud-based services for musical and audio applications


We consider contributions in the form of a full paper (min 6 pages, max 12 pages), a poster paper (min 2 pages, max 5 pages), or a demo proposal (max 2 pages). Authors are welcome to submit to all three tracks. We encourage the submission of work in progress as well as more mature work.

 

The event is being run alongside the 27th IEEE FRUCT (https://fruct.org/cfp27) an interdisciplinary conference also hosted at the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science of University of Trento between 7 and 9 of September. The participants to the workshop will have access to all the sessions of the FRUCT conference.

The paper templates are available at https://fruct.org/conference27
