Hi everyone,
We're happy to announce that the submission deadline of LAC 2025 has
been extended to March 31, 2025!
We're looking forward to seeing you in Lyon in June!
*Overview*
After a few "quiet" post-covid years, Linux Audio Conference is
returning in 2025 (https://jimlac25.inria.fr/lac/)! It will take place
in Lyon (France) on June 26-28, 2025 under the hospices of Inria, INSA
Lyon, and GRAME-CNCM. It will be preceded by the "Journées de
l'Informatique Musicale (JIM)" which will also happen in Lyon (June
23-25, 2025). LAC 2025 welcomes scientific, technical, and artistic
contributions. It is free and as open as possible. In that regard, we
slightly adapted the call below to encourage submissions by people
outside of the academic community. While it is possible to submit
academic papers (that will be peer-reviewed and published in the LAC
2025 proceedings), open presentations, not necessarily connected to a
paper, can be proposed as well.
*Important Dates
*- March 31, 2025 (March 24, 2025): Paper and Music submission deadline
- April 18, 2025: Review deadline

*Call for Papers / Presentations / Demos / Workshops*
LAC 2025 invites submissions of papers, presentations, and workshops
addressing all areas of audio processing based on Linux and open source
software.
All submissions and presentations are in English.
Submissions can focus on technical, artistic, and/or scientific issues
and target developers and/or users.
This includes (but is not limited to) the following categories:
- Audio and Music Languages
- Audio and AI
- Audio Hardware Support
- Audio Plugins
- Drivers, System and Sound Architecture
- Education and E-Learning
- Games
- Interactive Art
- Interface Design
- Live Coding
- Live Performance
- Media Art
- MIDI, OSC...
- Mobile Audio
- Music Composition
- Music Production
- Networked Audio
- Physical Computing
- Projects Realized using Linux Audio
- Realtime Kernel and Linux Distributions
- Signal Processing and Sound Synthesis
- Sound Spatialization
- Standards and Protocols
- Video
- Etc.
*Full Papers*
Full papers must be written and presented in English. The length of
papers is 4 to 8 pages, with up to 5 keywords, including an abstract of
up to 200 words. The abstract will be published on the conference
website once the paper has been accepted. Full papers will be available
on the website during the conference, and after in the proceedings
(which will be published with an ISBN number).
All papers are peer reviewed by a committee of experts from different
disciplines. Reviewers may suggest improvements to the author(s),
require changes in order to accept the submission, or reject it.
Full papers will be presented during the conference as in-person oral
presentations.
*Presentations Without an Associated Paper
*LAC 2025 welcomes oral presentations not associated to a peer-reviewed
paper published in the conference proceedings. Such presentations are
selected by the scientific committee, based on a abstract up to 500
words, with up to 5 keywords. No full paper is required in this
category. The abstract will be available on the website during and after
the conference.
Presentations in this category have the same format as full paper
presentations and will hence be presented during the conference as
in-person oral presentations.
*Demos
*Demos are informal project (e.g., plug-in, software, interface, idea,
etc.) presentations that will be carried out between the papers
presentation sessions.
*Workshops
*Workshop presentations (max duration of 2h) should be 1-4 pages, with
up to 5 keywords, including an abstract of up to 150 words to be
published on the conference website. Make sure that your proposal
indicates if participants are expected to have a specific level, if
there are prerequisites, if you'd like to limit the number of
participants, if you have specific technical requirements, etc
*Call for Music
*
We invite submissions of electronic, electroacoustic and mixed music as
well as interactive art installations with an emphasis on open source
software. A jury will select the compositions and performances to be
included in the LAC 2025 conference program according to artistic merit
and technical feasibility. Applicants should expect to perform their
work themselves and have all resources needed to perform the piece if
selected (e.g., instruments, props, other performers, etc.).
*Concert Venues*
The LAC 2025 musical program will consist of three concerts, two of
which will take place at Le Théâtre Astrée
(https://theatre-astree.univ-lyon1.fr/qui-sommes-nous/), a concert hall
equipped with an 8.4 sound system. For this venue, we are particularly
interested in electronic / computer music pieces that will leverage the
multichannel set up. The third concert will take place at Le Sucre
(https://le-sucre.eu/le-lieu/), an event that will host live coding sets
and other performances devised for a night club setting with stereo
diffusion.
