Pre-conference workshops and ICAD=92s graduate student = ThinkTank (doctoral consortium) will be held on June 9 and 10, and the = conference itself will run from June 11 to 15. ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary conference with relevance to = researchers, practitioners, artists, and graduate students working in = the use of sound to convey information and ideas. The conference is = unique in its specific focus on auditory displays and the range of = interdisciplinary issues related to their use. Like its predecessors, = ICAD 2010 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no = membership or affiliation requirements. Consistent with this year=92s theme, =93Sonic Discourse=97Expression = through Sound,=94 ICAD 2010 invites the submission of new work and = developments in all areas of interest to those who work with sound as a = medium for conveying information and ideas. The conference emphasizes = the concerns shared by those who work primarily with informational and = affective aspects of sound including sonification of data and processes, = synthetic and composed sound, musical sound, natural sound, and all = issues related to interaction with sound, specifically, how it is = presented to, and apprehended by, listeners. Thus, submissions are = sought on topics that extend from basic research in auditory display, to = application domains in the arts and sciences, mobile applications, = accessibility, audio technology, information and communications = technology, computer games, engineering analysis, medicine, and more. Each year we aim to attract a wide variety of researchers and = practitioners to the ICAD community who work in fields that are = concerned with and/or related to computationally based, informational = uses of sound. Thus, in addition to ICAD's core interests, we hope to = attract submissions from composers and artists who use sonification, = acoustic synthesis, spatialization, and/or interaction techniques for = composition and performance purposes. Although we fully intend to = maintain ICAD=92s primary emphasis on the use of sound as information, = we specifically want to encourage a wider and more collaborative = dialogue between practitioners with disparate objectives in auditory = display. ICAD 2010 is being jointly organised by the International Community for = Auditory Display; VRSonic, Inc.; The George Washington University = Department of Music; the Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial = Intelligence at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory; and the University = of Maryland Institute of Advanced Computer Studies. The venue for the = conference is the Jack Morton Auditorium in the Media and Public Affairs = Building on the George Washington University campus. ::::::::::::::::: KEY DATES ::::::::::::::::: 5 February 2010 Submission Deadline for Papers, Posters, and other = Categories (additional details forthcoming)=20 2 April 2010 Acceptance Notification (Papers, etc.) 2 April 2010 Sonification / Composition Submission Deadline (additional = details forthcoming) 7 May 2010 Sonification / Composition Acceptance Notification 7 May 2010 Camera-Ready Submissions Deadline 9-15 June 2010 ICAD 2010 =20 ::::::::::::::::: THEME: Sonic Discourse=97Expression through Sound = ::::::::::::::::: =20 This year=92s theme, =93Sonic Discourse=97Expression through Sound=92=92 = is intended to underscore the perspective that effective uses of sound = for informative purposes involve collaborations between creative and = functional auditory objectives as well as between the display and the = listener. We would like to invite the global ICAD community to = accentuate this perspective in their work, and authors are especially = encouraged to consider how they can incorporate auditory display into = the presentation of their papers, for instance, by including auditory = annotations and examples of the sounds used in their efforts and/or by = sonifying their results. Just as it would be unusual for presentations = of papers on graphics not to include some visual artifacts, we are = aiming for it to be the norm that ICAD paper presentations employ sound = in addition to the voice of the speaker. Additionally, we hope this = theme will resonate in this year=92s concert and sonification = submissions and inspire new perspectives for interactive, real-time = performances. The George Washington University=92s Jack Morton = Auditorium will serve as the meeting and concert venue for this year=92s = conference, and contributors will have access to a 12.2 loudspeaker = array and auralization software.
