The types of submissions solicited for ICAD15 include: ::::::::::::::::: PAPERS AND POSTERS::::::::::::::::: Paper and poster submissions will be 4-8 pages in length, including all figures and references. Typical paper contributions are between 6 - 8 pages, and typical poster contributions are 4 - 5 pages long. Full papers should describe work that offers a substantial contribution to the field of auditory display. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to give an oral presentation of their work, and at least one author must present the work at the conference for the paper to appear in the proceedings. Poster submissions should describe both finished work and work in late stages of progress. Work that is complete enough that meaningful conclusions can be drawn at the time of submission are encouraged. Authors of accepted submissions will be invited to participate in a poster and/or demonstration session, and at least one author must present the work at the conference for the paper to appear in the published proceedings. When weighing the decision to submit to poster and demonstration sessions, we encourage authors to consider their work in relation to the potential positive benefits (both to authors and their audiences) afforded by the personal interactions that occur in this type of session. Authors of selected full papers will be invited to submit an extended version (up to 12 pages) of their papers for publication in a Special Issue of the Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces (JMUI): Auditory Display. (http:// www.springer.com/computer/hci/journal/12193) ::::::::::::::::: EXTENDED ABSTRACTS ::::::::::::::::: Extended abstracts include, but are not limited to late-breaking results, works in early stages of progress, novel methodologies, unique or controversial theoretical positions, and discussions of unsuccessful research or null findings. Submissions for extended abstracts require a proceedings paper of up to 2 pages in length. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to give a short presentation of their work, and at least one author must present the work at the conference for the abstract to appear in the published proceedings. The deadline of the extended abstracts is later to allow very recent contributions in the field. Papers Co-Chairs Visda Goudarzi and Areti Andreopoulou papers.icad15(a)iem.at ::::::::::::::::: MUSIC AND INSTALLATIONS::::::::::::::::: We invite submissions of music and sound installations. Sonification should be a constitutive element of the proposed works. Priority will be given to works employing space and interaction as additional dimensions to an artistic data exploration. We therefore especially encourage the submission of multichannel electroacoustic or acousmatic pieces and interactive sound installations. The works will be reviewed by an international panel of sound and sonification experts. Preference will be given to submissions that are technically feasible and have a clear documentation of the setup. At least one of the authors who wish to have their works presented at ICAD15 must register and attend to the conference. As we would like to extend the presentation of these works beyond the time limits of the conference, authors of accepted works are encouraged to present their work also online using the Research Catalogue (http://www.researchcatalogue.net), an international database for artistic research. The conference page will provide a portal to these presentations. Music Co-Chairs Johannes Zmölnig, Ypatios Grigoriadis, and Gerhard Eckel music.icad15(a)iem.at We will provide child care during the conference and workshops. If you travel with a kid/ kids please drop us an email ahead of time.

by anders.vinjar＠bek.no

New builds available at: https://forge.ircam.fr/p/OM/downloads/ OpenMusic homepage: http://repmus.ircam.fr/openmusic/home Main news: - new package scripts for RPM and DEB, to take care of necessary (32-bit) dependencies for OM. (OM is still 32-bit only from lack of access to 64-bit lw-compiler.) - the music-fonts OM uses (omfonts) get installed as part of the main package, ie. the extra package is no longer needed - a non-standard dependency: libsdif.so ("SDIF: Sound Description Interchange Format" - http://sdif.sourceforge.net/) - is provided as RPM- and DEB-packages at the download site Other news: - PortMidi handles midi i/o, using the same code on all 3 supported platforms (Linux, OSX, Windows) - fluidsynth is no longer part of the OM-application, instead users are expected to connect to their preferred MIDI-synth to play back MIDI from OM - various new features and bug-fixes Packages are checked on Fedora 20+21, and Ubuntu 14.04.1. Thanks for all bug-reports. -anders

Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio. Website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor/files - source tarball: http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.5.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 13.2): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.5-15.rncbc.suse132.sr… - binary packages (openSUSE 13.2): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.5-15.rncbc.suse132.i5… http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.5-15.rncbc.suse132.x8… - quick start guide & user manual (see also: the wiki): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.x-user-manual.pdf - wiki (help really wanted!): http://sourceforge.net/p/qtractor/wiki/ Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: Qtractor is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - Connections lines now drawn with anti-aliasing; connections splitter handles width is now reduced; the MIDI connections splitter pane sizes are now saved and restored properly. - Extended multi-selection is now featured on the track-list (main left-pane), primarily allowing for group mute/solo (and monitor) switching. - Track-list (left pane) header column widths are now saved and made persistent across application power cycle (double-click reverts to the old original default). - Minor fixes on the MIDI clip event list editor, also making sure the current event is visible on the piano-roll view. - As long to prevent asynchronous mistakes to JACK transport state changes, an internal slack-delay is now introduced after self-initiated transport commands (eg. start/stop). - The MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) was missing to clear or reset the current selection when no shift/ctrl keyboard modifier is in effect. - VST-shell sub-plugins are now supported (as suggested by abique aka. Alexandre Bique, thanks). - MIDI clip record/overdubbing is now possible (Clip/Record on the main menu or File/Record from the MIDI clip editor. - Make sure some audio sample file encodings (eg. old Ogg Vorbis) does not head-start on audio peak generation.
