We are pleased to invite you to the 5th IEEE International Symposium on
the Internet of Sounds (IEEE IS^2  2024). The Internet of Sounds is an
emerging research field at the intersection of the Sound and Music
Computing and the Internet of Things domains.

The symposium will be hosted at the International Audio Laboratories
Erlangen <https://www.audiolabs-erlangen.de/>, Germany, a joint
institution of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg
(FAU) and Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS.

The aim is to bring together academics and industry to investigate and
advance the development of Internet of Sounds technologies by using
novel tools and processes. The event will consist of presentations,
keynotes, panels, poster presentations, demonstrations, tutorials, music
performances, and installations.

*Satellite Events***

The program will include two satellite events:

 * The 1st IEEE International Workshop on the Musical Metaverse
   <https://internetofsounds2024.ieee-is2.org/workshop/ieee-iwmm-workshop>

*Call for Internet of Sounds Performances and Installations***

We invite submissions that showcase the internet of sounds in
performance and sound installations. Proposed works should have a clear
connection to the conference and may relate to a technical paper or demo
submission. We particularly invite pieces that last 5-12 minutes,
however, shorter and longer performance proposals will be considered.

*Performances and Installations Submission***

A proposal (compiled in a single pdf) should include:

 * One-page project description
 * One-page description of technical requirements
 * Short program notes
 * Artist bio(s)
 * URL to any performance/installation audio or
   audio-visual documentation (if available).  The documentation link
   should use streaming-only services, e.g., SoundCloud, Vimeo, YouTube.

Please keep in mind the following when preparing performance and
installation submissions:

 * Space requirements: Indicate whether the work would be more suitable
   for a university environment (hallways, staircases, indoor and
   outdoor plazas), club, traditional concert stage, gallery, public
   space, or other venue. For questions regarding equipment and venue
   descriptions, please contact the Music & Installations Co-chairs
 * Performer(s): List all performers that would need to be involved.
   Please note that the organizers cannot provide funding to support
   performers' travel or accommodation.
 * Feasibility: Provide evidence of the feasibility of the performance
   or installation. Include documentation and list of previous
   performances of the submitted or related work that demonstrate the
   submitter's capacity to implement the proposal.
