Dear all,
we would like to announce the following:
::::::::::::::::: FIRST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION :::::::::::::::::
ICAD 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS, POSTERS, WORKSHOPS, DEMONSTRATIONS, SONIFICATIONS,
AND COMPOSITIONS
The 16th International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD)
Washington, D.C, USA
June 9-15, 2010
(Conference website forthcoming; visit www.icad.org for updates)
ICAD 2010—the 16th International Conference on Auditory Display—will
be held in Washington, DC at The George Washington University from
June 9 to 15, 2010. Pre-conference workshops and ICAD’s 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’s theme, “Sonic Discourse—Expression through
Sound,” 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’s 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.

::::::::::::::::: THEME: Sonic Discourse—Expression through
Sound :::::::::::::::::
This year’s theme, “Sonic Discourse—Expression through Sound’’ 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’s concert and sonification
submissions and inspire new perspectives for interactive, real-time
performances. The George Washington University’s Jack Morton
Auditorium will serve as the meeting and concert venue for this year’s
conference, and contributors will have access to a 12.2 loudspeaker
array and auralization software. Composers and practitioners
contemplating the submission of compositions and/or sonifications are
encouraged to contact the Demonstrations/Compositions Chair or Concert
Co-chairs to discuss their proposals and ideas as soon as possible.

and should be accompanied by any relevant sound files. An
international panel will review submissions. 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. Tutorials/Workshops will
run for approximately 2-3 hours, Panels will run for 1 hour. Proposals
for sessions in this category 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 aspects of the process of developing an auditory
display—difficulties encountered, problems solved, guidelines, etc.
