CALL FOR PAPERS, POSTERS, SONIFICATIONS, COMPOSITIONS, INSTALLATIONS,=20 WORKSHOPS, PANELS, AND DEMONSTRATIONS. Co-chairs: Dr David Worrall, Australian National University and Dr=20 Stephen Barrass, University of Canberra. Please check the conference website for updates: http://icad.org/icad2016= / ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary academic conference with relevance to=20 researchers, practitioners, musicians, and students interested in the=20 design of sounds to support tasks, improve performance, guide decisions,=20 augment awareness, and enhance experiences. It is unique in its singular=20 focus on auditory displays and the array of perception, technology, and=20 application areas that this encompasses. Like its predecessors, ICAD=20 2016 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no membership=20 or affiliation requirements. ICAD 2016=E2=80=94the 22nd International Conference on Auditory Display=E2= =80=94will be=20 held at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia, from=20 July 2 to 8, 2016. The conference venue is the ANU School of Music, in=20 the downtown centre of Canberra. Workshops and the graduate student=20 ThinkTank (doctoral consortium) will be on the weekend of July 2 and 3,=20 before the main conference. Note that ICAD is back-to-back with the conference on New Interfaces for=20 Musical Expression (NIME) which will be held in Brisbane the following=20 week, so international attendees can attend two international=20 conferences for the one trip to Australia! :::::::::::::::: THEME: SONIC INFORMATION DESIGN ::::::::::::::::: The designed world is rapidly replacing the natural world. Design has=20 been called the =E2=80=9Cthird culture=E2=80=9D and has been distinguishe= d from the=20 Sciences and Arts by Nigel Cross in terms of * =E2=80=9Cthings to know=E2=80=9D : the natural world in science, human = experience in=20 art, and the artificial world in design. * =E2=80=9Cways of knowing=E2=80=9D: rationality and objectivity in scien= ce, reflection=20 and subjectivity in art, and imagination and practicality in design. * =E2=80=9Cways of finding out=E2=80=9D : experiment and analysis in scie= nce, criticism=20 and evaluation in art, and modelling and synthesis in design. This year=E2=80=99s theme =E2=80=93 Sonic Information Design - has the as= piration that=20 artificial sounds may be designed to make the world a better place. Like=20 other design disciplines, Sonic Information Design takes a synergetic=20 user-centred view of the relationship between artefacts, those that are=20 affected by them, and the social contexts in which they occur. A Design=20 orientation pays particular attention to the phenomenology of user=20 experience =E2=80=94including physical, cognitive, emotional, and aesthet= ic=20 issues; the relationship between form, function, and content; and=20 emerging concepts such as fun, playfulness and design futures.=20 Practice-based research is considered as a generative process of=20 exploration, speculation and discovery, with outcomes that can be=20 provisional, contingent and aspirational, while aiming for richer, more=20 situated understandings that lead to the advancement of knowledge and=20 the proliferation of new realities. Sonic Information Design draws on theoretical approaches from multiple=20 disciplines to guide hypothesis testing at multiple points during an=20 iterative process=E2=80=94what Bill Gaver calls =E2=80=9Chumble theory=E2= =80=9D. Sonic=20 Information Design recognises usefulness as critical for evaluating=20 artefacts, and the perceptual alignment with data characteristics as=20 critical for effective designs. ICAD 2016 invites contributions that take a design approach, introduce=20 design theory and apply design methods to Auditory Display and Data=20 Sonification, with a view to building a conceptually robust foundation=20 for Sonic Information Design. ::::::::::::::::: TOPICS ::::::::::::::::: Topics for ICAD2016 include new and emerging themes, as well as more=20 traditional ICAD ones.
