Subject: [AUDITORY] Announcement for a special session on "Sound quality and design" during Forum Acusticum 2023 in Torino From: Patrick Susini <Patrick.Susini@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2022 16:18:38 +0100--Apple-Mail=_B4298586-43CD-4A83-A37D-D729C6FF71EF Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Dear Colleagues=20 The 10th Convention of the European Acoustics Association, Forum = Acusticum 2023, will be held in presence in Torino (Italy), from = September 11 to 15, 2023. =20 Forum Acusticum 2023 is a triennial international convention organized = by the Italian Acoustical Association on behalf of the European = Acoustics Association (EAA). The Congress will be a world leading event = in the areas of acoustics and a great opportunity for participants to = meet in person, to expand their knowledge, to share new techniques and = competences, in the wide range of acoustics nowadays addressed in the = community. =20 During the congress, 4 sessions will focus on the theme=20 Sound quality and design (A18) organized by Laura Rossi / Doriana Dal = Pal=C3=B9 / Patrick Susini.=20 We would like to cordially encourage you to submit an abstract to one of = the following 4 sessions: Session: Sound design in Arts/Movies (A18-01) =09 Organizers: Sandra Pauletto / Patrick Susini=09 This session aims to broaden the scope of applications often associated = with sound design, such as sound design for industrial products, to = applications that have historically developed in the fields of theatre, = cinema and sonic art. We would like to invite academic experts in these = fields to present the ideas that have emerged in connection with the = practices and the issues specific to these fields, or to talk about a = specific project in terms of sound creation.=20 Session: =46rom brief to evaluation in the sound design process (A18-02)=09= Session Organizers: Stefano Delle Monache / Patrick Susini This session aims to draw attention on the study of and research into = the process of designing sound. Regardless of the application field, = sound design is either presented as a process naturally or ideally = embodied in an overall design process, or as a peculiar iterative = process of sound creation and evaluation with its own rules and = dynamics. The session welcomes submissions focused on the processual = aspects of designing sound, especially from the real-world practice and = listening perspectives. Topics include but are not limited to tools and = methods in project development, sketching and prototyping, user = engagement and participatory approaches, co-design and communication = with peers and stakeholders, evaluation practices.=09 Session:Sound design/quality in industrial products (A18-03) Session Organizers: Nicolas Misdariis / Laura Rossi=09 Sound design in industrial design, or said differently product sound = design, can be seen as product design with a particular attention to = sound. Seminal works have contributed to formalize this domain as an =C2=AB= interdisciplinary approach =C2=BB involving acoustics, engineering and = psychology =E2=80=93 to mention only the main disciplines. These same = works, and others, also postulate that product sound design is mainly = motivated by aspects of comfort, functionality and ergonomics or aims to = serve hedonic values, in order to improve the global user experience, at = the end. This session aims to bring together recent research, current = applications or upcoming projects in order to collectively update our = knowledge and references in that domain still in evolution, and to open = the debate on the role of sound in industrial artefacts, and by the same = token, in our everyday life. Session: Sound for care and emotions (A18-04)=09 Session Organizers: Elif Ozcan / Doriana Dal Pal=C3=B9=09 Listening to objects, events and soundscapes is a complex experience = that requires perceptual, cognitive and emotional processes and the = result of which depends on the context of listening and sound-induced = action. In this session, we intend to focus on the themes of = =E2=80=9Cemotion=E2=80=9D and/or =E2=80=9Ccare context=E2=80=9D to = extend our understanding of daily interactions with or via sounds. By = doing so, we take a human-centered approach and aim to establish what = sound-driven design can offer to improve daily listening experiences. =20 Papers can be submitted for oral (a 20-minute time slot is allotted) or = poster presentation through the Forum Acusticum 2023 website, = https://www.fa2023.org <https://www.fa2023.org/>. =20 Submission deadline for abstracts is January 31, 2023, while papers need = to be submitted by April 30, 2023. The abstract is 200-words long and = authors can submit either a short paper from 2 to 4 pages or a long = paper of max. 8 pages. All the papers will undergo a peer review = process. =20 Thank you in advance for your kind consideration, and if you have any = questions do not hesitate to contact us.
