Dear all,
(With apologies for cross posting, please distribute!)
This is a reminder that the call for participation for ICAD15 is currently open.

Call for Papers, Posters, Extended Abstracts, Music, Installations, and Workshops - ICAD
2015
ICAD in Space: Interactive Spatial Sonification
The 21st International Conference on Auditory Display
July 6 - 7 Workshops and Student Think Tank
July 8 - 10 Conference
University of Music and Performing Arts and Technical University of Graz, Austria.
The conference is organised by the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM). IEM
is one of the
leading institutions in the field of audio engineering and computer music. As part of the
University of
Music and Performing Arts Graz, IEM is a multidisciplinary institution, whose general
mission is to bridge
the gap between science and the arts. As a unique characteristic, IEM focuses on
sonification as part of
its research in computer music. IEM facilities include laboratories and performance spaces
such as CUBE,
which are equipped with spatial audio and motion tracking systems. Since 2014, IEM hosts
the Sonic
Interaction Design (SID) lab, in which interactive sound systems are designed and
evaluated.
ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary conference with relevance to researchers,
practitioners, artists, and
graduate students working with sound to convey and explore information. The conference is
unique in
its specific focus on auditory displays and the range of interdisciplinary issues related
to their use. Like
its predecessors, ICAD15 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no
membership or affiliation
requirements. In addition to ICAD's core interests, we would like to take the
opportunity of the
conference being held at IEM to highlight this yearʼs theme ICAD in Space:
Sonification, Sonic Interaction
Design, and Spatial Audio.

Accepted papers will be included in the published proceedings and made publicly available
in the
Georgia Tech SMARTech system (http:// smartech.gatech.edu/). 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.

::::::::::::::::: 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 and Gerhard Eckel

::::::::::::::::: WORKSHOPS ::::::::::::::::
ICAD workshops and tutorials provide in-depth opportunities for conference attendees to
discuss and
explore important topics in the field of auditory display with like-minded researchers and
practitioners.
Please submit concepts for hands-on workshops or discussion platforms, possibly allowing
participants
to contribute, but no paper sessions on their own. Focus areas can range from
applications and
programming methodologies to interdisciplinary research skills, emerging concepts, and
challenge
problems.
Space, facilities, technical support, and the number of sessions that can be accepted are
limited, so early
submission of proposals is encouraged. Workshop and tutorial organizers are expected to
collaborate
with the conference committee, issue calls for participation, gather and review
contributed materials (if
appropriate), and decide upon the final program for their session.
Workshop Co-Chairs
Franz Zotter and Derek Brock

::::::::::::::::: SONIFICATION CONTEST ::::::::::::::::
The call for the Sonification Contest will be released in early 2015.
::::::::::::::::: STUDENT THINK TANK ::::::::::::::::
The call for the Student Think Tank will be released in early 2015.
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.
