Call for Participation
ICAD'98
The Fifth
International Conference on Auditory Display
University of Glasgow, UK
November 1-4, 1998
Sponsored by:
Microsoft
and
The Department of Computing Science, University of
Glasgow
Continuing the work of the successful series of ICAD Conferences,
ICAD'98 will be held on November 1-4,
1998 at the University of Glasgow, UK. This is the the first time the
ICAD conference will be held outside the
USA. ICAD is the premier forum for presenting research on the use of
sound to provide enhanced user interfaces,
display data, monitor systems, and for computers and virtual reality
systems. It is unique in its singular focus on
auditory displays, and the array of perception, technology, design and
application areas that these encompass. Like
its predecessors, ICAD'98 will be a single-track conference. Attendance
is open to all, with no membership or
affiliation requirements.
ICAD'98 will be chaired by Dr Stephen Brewster from the University of
Glasgow and Dr Alistair Edwards from
the University of York.
If you would like to be sent updated information about ICAD'98 please
fill-in the pre-registration form
on-line.
Submissions
Submissions are solicited in all aspects of auditory display including
(but not limited to) the following topics:
Sonification (data representation through audio)
Sound in human-computer interfaces
Auditory interfaces for people with visual disabilities
Audio on the world wide web
Sound in virtual environments
Tools and systems to support auditory display
Sound in mobile computing devices
Submissions will be accepted for papers, short papers and posters,
tutorials and workshops, and demonstrations.
An ISBN-numbered conference proceedings for ICAD'98 will be published
electronically by The British
Computer Society in association with Springer-Verlag Ltd.
The conference themes can be approached from several perspectives, and
ICAD provides a forum for open
discussion to bridge gulfs between, for example, research and design,
science and technology, perception and
acoustics. Interdisciplinary exchange is supported with a single- track
technical program. For those new to ICAD,
it would be useful to examine the book Auditory Display, (G. Kramer,
ed.), Reading MA; Addison Wesley, 1994.
Alternatively, previous proceedings of ICAD are on-line at the main ICAD
web site
This year submission will be via email. Submissions will consist of a 4
page extended abstract in the conference
proceedings format. The abstract should be tailored to the type of
project. Submissions of research efforts should
include the objective, methodology, and results. Submissions of
applications and designs should include the goals,
users, development process, and evaluation. Since audio demonstrations
are a key component of ICAD, the
abstract should include a description of the prospective audio
demonstrations to accompany the paper.
Submissions should be made by emailing a copy of the extended abstract
by June 5, 1998 to:
alistair-icad@minster.york.ac.uk
The extended abstracts (and final papers) must be in the conference
proceedings format. Please note that because
the proceedings are to be published in an electronic format and in
advance of the conference there can be NO
latitude about the layout and format. Even though the extended abstracts
will not be published they must be in the
required format - as evidence that the authors can meet the
requirements. The required style files (Latex and
Microsoft Word) can be found here. Submissions will NOT be accepted if
they are not in the standard conference
format. If you have any problems with formatting please email to the
address above.
Submissions must also include a single cover sheet which contains:
the paper title
the full names, affiliations, complete addresses, phone and FAX
numbers, and e-mail addresses of the
authors
a 100 word abstract
a list of up to five keywords
>From the submissions, the program committee will invite long (30 minutes) and short (15 minute) presentations.
If you have a preference for one of these, please indicate it on the
cover sheet.
Tutorials and Workshops
The first day of ICAD'98 will be made up of optional workshops and
tutorials. We have some great tutorials and
workshops lined up and we are keen to hear from anyone else who would
like to run one. Please email to
alistair-icad@minster.york.ac.uk as soon as possible to let us know what
you would like to do.
Posters and Demonstrations
ICAD'98 will include a session where explorative concepts, new ideas as
well as techniques and tools for auditory
display may be presented in either a poster or demonstration format.
Demonstrations can be either academic
(perhaps example systems that you have created) or industrial (perhaps a
product that will be of interest to the
ICAD community). We are particularly keen to have commercial
demonstrations relevant to ICAD.
Poster and demo submissions will be evaluated on the basis of their
innovation, relevance and potential logistic
constraints.The submission should consist of a description of your
demonstration or poster (2 pages maximum)
and a cover sheet as above. Submissions should be made by emailing by
June 5, 1998 to:
alistair-icad@minster.york.ac.uk
Social Programme
We are organising a great social programme for ICAD'98. We will be
visiting some of the beautiful Scottish
countryside and doing a tour of a whisky distillery. We will provide
more information about this nearer to the
conference on the ICAD websites.

International Community for Auditory Display
ICAD'98 is a program of the International Community for Auditory
Display. ICAD is a not-for-profit
corporation created to support research, education and community
formation in the emerging field of auditory
display. The primary projects of ICAD are the conferences, the listserve
(icad-request@santafe.edu) and the
ICAD Web site (www.santafe.edu/~icad/). Since auditory display
researchers come from a wide variety of
disciplinary, professional, and geographical backgrounds, ICAD seeks,
above all, to facilitate communication
across boundaries. A membership organization founded in 1996, ICAD
welcomes participation in its programs
and governance.
