Subject: ICAD 2004 in Sydney: Preliminary Call for Papers From: shinn <shinn(at)CNS.BU.EDU> Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2003 17:42:54 -0400--Apple-Mail-10-406028566 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed 10TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AUDITORY DISPLAY Manly Pacific Hotel, Sydney, Australia 6-10 July, 2004 www.icad.org ::::::::::::::::: PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS ::::::::::::::::: The International Conference on Auditory Display is the premiere forum for new research on the use of sound to display data, monitor systems, and provide enhanced user interfaces for computers and virtual reality systems. It is unique in its singular focus on auditory displays, and the array of perception, technology, design and application areas that these encompass. ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary conference with relevance to university, industry and graduate students working in areas that include psychology, psychoacoustics, media, design, music, sound design, human computer interaction, accessibility, audio technology, information and communications technology, computer games, engineering analysis, medicine and a plethora of other application domains. ICAD 2004 will be held in Sydney, Australia in July 2004. Previous ICADS have been held at the Santa Fe Institute, Xerox PARC, Glasgow University, Georgia Tech, Helsinki University of Technology, ATR Labs in Japan, and Boston University. Like its predecessors, ICAD 2004 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements. ::::::::::::::::: KEY DATES ::::::::::::::::: 6 February 2004 Conference Submission Deadline (details = forthcoming) 6 April 2004 Paper Acceptance Notification / Concert = Submission=20 Deadline 6 May 2004 Concert Acceptance Notification 6 May 2004 Final Submissions Deadline 6-10 July 2004 ICAD 2004 ::::::::::::::::: THEME : Diffusion ::::::::::::::::: Diffusion is the spontaneous intermingling of the particles of two or more substances due to random thermal motion. It also refers to the spread of practices, skills, and innovations from one community to another. We have chosen the theme of Diffusion to celebrate the 10th ICAD because, from the very first, ICAD has brought together such a diverse range of expertise and people. We will celebrate the event through the first ever Concert of Sonifications at the world famous Sydney Opera House. The concert will be open to the public and will spread the concept of auditory display to a wide audience. The concert will also stir the intermingling of music composition and auditory display techniques to produce a new aesthetic of form and function in sounds. The diffusion will continue through a one-day festival of workshops, tutorials, panels and posters open to people who may not be able to attend the full academic conference. Finally there will be a program of special Australian speakers to diffuse knowledge from tens of thousands years of human use of sounds downunder into the international community. ::::::::::::::::: TOPICS ::::::::::::::::: The topics for ICAD include but are not limited to: * Aesthetics * Accessibility * Applications * Design theory and methods * Evaluation and usability * Human Factors * Mappings from data to sound * Philosophy and culture * Psychology, Cognition, Perception and Psychoacoustics * Technologies and tools ::::::::::::::::: PAPERS ::::::::::::::::: Papers are oral presentations of substantial contribution to the field. Submissions should be up to 8 pages including images and references. Submissions will be subject to blind review by an international panel. One of the authors must present the paper at the conference for it to appear in the proceedings. ::::::::::::::::: POSTERS ::::::::::::::::: Posters are a forum for discussion of work-in-progress. Submissions should be up to 4 pages including images and references. Submissions will be reviewed by an international panel. Posters will be presented on a single A0 size sheet during the poster session. One of the authors must present the poster at the conference for it to appear in the proceedings. ::::::::::::::::: WORKSHOPS / TUTORIALS / PANELS ::::::::::::::::: Workshops/Tutorials/Panels are an opportunity to share experiences with an international community of experts. They will be held on the Festival day and will be open to a broader audience who may not be attending the full academic conference. Tutorials/Workshops will run for 2-3 hours, Panels will run for 1 hour. Proposals should be up to 4 pages including title, description, and brief biographies of the presenters. Suggested topics include software and hardware tools and systems, design and analysis of empirical experiments, psychological and perceptual issues, design methods, practical accounts of the process of developing an auditory display - difficulties encountered, problems solved, guidelines, etc. Proposals will be selected by an international panel. Workshops/Tutorials/Panels that are presented at the conference will appear in the proceedings. ::::::::::::::::: CONCERT ::::::::::::::::: The Concert will be held at the Sydney Opera House in the heart of Sydney, and will be promoted to the general public. The goal of the Concert is to excite the imagination of a general audience and to develop the crossover between music composition and auditory displays. Concert pieces that sonify a common data-set will be selected by an international panel. There will be a separate Concert Call with details of the data-set, the sound format, and the sound system. ::::::::::::::::: ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ::::::::::::::::: Organising Chair: Stephen Barrass, CSIRO, Australia Administration Chair: Margaret Hurley, CSIRO, Australia Festival Chair: Janet Anderson, University of Queensland,=20 Australia Papers Chair: Paul Vickers, Northumbria University, UK Proceedings Chair: Kate Stevens, University of Western Sydney,=20 Australia Program Chair: Henry Gardner, Australian National University,=20= Australia Publicity Chair: Barbara Shinn-Cunningham, Boston University,=20= USA Social Chair: Keith Nesbitt, Charles Sturt University,=20 Australia Sponsorship Chair: Simon Carlile, University of Sydney, Australia Steering Chair: Matti Gr=C3=B6hn, CSC, Finland Students Chair: Matt Adcock, CSIRO, Australia Technical Chair: Christian M=D1=9Fller-Tomfelde, CSIRO, Australia Treasury Chair: David Cook, CSIRO Australia Web Chair: Iain Mott, University of Melbourne, Australia ------------------------------------------------------------ Prof. Barbara Shinn-Cunningham Depts. of Cognitive and Neural Systems and Biomedical Engineering Boston University 677 Beacon St. Boston, MA 02215 office: 617-353-5764 lab: 617-353-8693 fax: 617-353-7755 web: http://www.cns.bu.edu/~shinn= --Apple-Mail-10-406028566 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/enriched; charset=UTF-8 10TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AUDITORY DISPLAY Manly Pacific Hotel, Sydney, Australia 6-10 July, 2004 = <underline><color><param>1998,1998,FFFE</param>www.icad.org</color></under= line> ::::::::::::::::: PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS ::::::::::::::::: The International Conference on Auditory Display is the premiere forum for new research on the use of sound to display data, monitor systems, and provide enhanced user interfaces for computers and virtual reality systems.
