Many of these have been in existence = since the late 18th century, and are part of the standard research = vocabulary. The twentieth and twenty-first century have made dynamic, multi-modal = displays feasible. Visualization is essential for many applications =E2=80= =94 it draws on the strength of the eyes for assessing static qualities = such as size, color, or texture. But many applications could greatly = benefit from displays the address the ears, with their particular = sensitivity to dynamic changes and capability for following multiple = simultaneous streams.=20 Auditory information is also received faster than visual information. = Hearing sets the stage for what we see. Sound is quickly transmitted to = areas of the brain that carry out basic functions at an emotional, = survival level. The legacy of our ancestors=E2=80=99 quick =E2=80=9Cfight = or flight=E2=80=9D response is the human creature=E2=80=99s unique = appreciation of music. Because of all this, sound should be a part of learning science and = other topics. Young students being introduced to information through = sound will likely have a more holistic and engaging experience than is = possible with visual materials alone. If a generation of students were = raised to learn about science by listening as well as looking, what = implications would this have for the scientific climate twenty or thirty = years in the future? As this conference takes place 25 years after the first ICAD, it also = offers an opportunity to reflect on the progress that has been made = since that first gathering in Sante Fe in 1992. ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary academic conference with relevance to = researchers, practitioners, musicians, and students interested in the = design of sounds to support tasks, improve performance, guide decisions, = augment awareness, and enhance experiences. It is unique in its singular = focus on auditory displays and the array of perception, technology, and = application areas that this encompasses. Like its predecessors, ICAD = 2016 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no membership = or affiliation requirements. ICAD 2017, the 22nd International Conference on Auditory Display, will = be held at the University Park campus of the Pennsylvania State = University June 21 to 24, 2017. The conference venues are the Colleges = of Arts and Architecture and Information Sciences and Technology. The = graduate student ThinkTank (doctoral consortium) will be on Tuesday, = June 20, before the main conference. Note that ICAD dovetails an international acoustics conference in = Boston, which may be of interest to many ICAD attendees. Topics Topics for ICAD 2017 include new and emerging themes, as well as more = traditional ICAD ones.=20 There will be two special calls for themed paper tracks: Games Philosophy/Aesthetics In addition, themes include (but are not limited to): Sonic Information Design Stream-based Sonification and Auditory Scene Design Acoustic Sonification Small Data (personal, intimate) sonification and the quantised self Sonification, soundscape and screensound Sonification in Health and Environmental Data (soniHED) Musification - sonifications and music Sonification, personal fabrication and maker culture Sonification in the Internet of Things Auditory Data Mining and Big Data sonification 3D and Spatial Audio Aesthetics, Philosophy, and Culture of Auditory Displays Accessibility Applications Design Theory and Methods Evaluation and Usability Human Factors and Interaction Mappings from Data to Sound Psychology, Cognition, Perception, and Psychoacoustics Sonification and Exploration of Data through Sound Sound as Art Technologies and Tools There will be two special calls for themed paper tracks: Games Philosophy/Aesthetics Workshops/Tutorials ICAD workshops and tutorials provide in-depth opportunities for = conference attendees to discuss and explore important aspects of the = field of auditory display with like-minded researchers and = practitioners. Sessions can range from applications and programming = methodologies to interdisciplinary research skills, emerging research = areas, and challenge problems. --Apple-Mail=_6A71793E-273E-4468-B850-8E0013C5934F Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 <html><head><meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html = charset=3Dutf-8"></head><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; = -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" = class=3D"">[Please excuse cross postings]<div class=3D""><br = class=3D""></div><div class=3D""><div style=3D"margin: 0px; text-align: = center; font-size: 18px; font-family: Optima; color: rgb(16, 16, 16);" = class=3D""><b class=3D"">ICAD 2017</b></div><div style=3D"margin: 0px; = text-align: center; font-family: Optima; color: rgb(16, 16, 16);" = class=3D"">The 23rd International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD = 2017)</div><div style=3D"margin: 0px; text-align: center; font-family: = Optima; color: rgb(16, 16, 16);" class=3D"">The Pennsylvania State = University, University Park Campus, June 20-23, 2017</div><div = style=3D"margin: 0px; text-align: center; font-family: Optima; color: = rgb(16, 16, 16); min-height: 17px;" class=3D""><br class=3D""></div><div = style=3D"margin: 0px; text-align: center; font-family: Optima; color: = rgb(16, 16, 16);" class=3D"">CALL FOR PAPERS, POSTERS, SONIFICATIONS, = INSTALLATIONS, </div><div style=3D"margin: 0px; text-align: center; = font-family: Optima; color: rgb(16, 16, 16);" class=3D"">COMPOSITIONS, = WORKSHOPS, PANELS AND DEMONSTRATIONS</div><div style=3D"margin: 0px; = text-align: center; font-size: 12px; font-family: Georgia; color: = rgb(16, 16, 16); min-height: 14px;" class=3D""><br class=3D""></div><div = style=3D"margin: 0px; font-family: Optima; color: rgb(16, 16, 16);" = class=3D"">Co-chairs: Mark Ballora, School of Music/School of Theatre = =E2=80=A2 Jeff Rimland, College of Information Sciences and = Technology</div><div style=3D"margin: 0px; font-family: Optima; color: = rgb(16, 16, 16);" class=3D"">Paper chair: Margaret Schedel</div><div = style=3D"margin: 0px; font-family: Optima; color: rgb(16, 16, 16);" = class=3D"">Music chair: Rob Hamilton</div><div style=3D"margin: 0px; = font-family: Optima; color: rgb(16, 16, 16);" class=3D"">Worshops chair: = Derek Brock</div><div style=3D"margin: 0px; font-family: Optima; color: = rgb(16, 16, 16);" class=3D"">ThinkTank </div><div style=3D"margin: = 0px; font-family: Optima; color: rgb(16, 16, 16);" class=3D"">Please = check the conference website for updates: <a = href=3D"http://icad.org/icad2017/" = class=3D"">http://icad.org/icad2017/</a></div><div style=3D"margin: 0px; = font-family: Optima; color: rgb(16, 16, 16);" class=3D"">To submit = proposals online via EasyChair, go to <a = href=3D"https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=3Dicad17" = class=3D"">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=3Dicad17</a></div><div = style=3D"margin: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Georgia; color: = rgb(16, 16, 16); min-height: 14px;" class=3D""><br class=3D""></div><div = style=3D"margin: 0px; font-size: 18px; font-family: Optima; color: = rgb(16, 16, 16);" class=3D""><b class=3D"">Theme: Sound in = Learning</b></div><div style=3D"margin: 0px; font-family: Optima; color: = rgb(16, 16, 16);" class=3D"">Scientific literacy is typically gained = through the study of graphs and various types of visualizations.
