Subject: International Conference on Auditory Display
International Conference on Auditory Display Advanced Programme
CALL FOR ATTENDANCE and ADVANCED PROGRAMME
ICAD'98
The Fifth
International Conference on Auditory Display
University of Glasgow, UK
November 1-4, 1998
Sponsored by:
Microsoft
and
Department of Computing Science, University of Glasgow
http://www.santafe.edu/~icad/ or http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/icad98/
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 have been 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.
ICAD'98 will be chaired by Dr Stephen Brewster from the University of Glasgow
and Dr Alistair Edwards from the University of York.
CONFERENCE PROGRAMME
We are really happy to announce that the Keynote speakers for ICAD will be
Prof Albert Bregman from McGill University, Canada and Dr Bill Gaver from the
Royal College of Art, London.
* Perceptual organization and auditory displays by Albert Bregman
------------------------------------------------------------------
Laboratory research over the last quarter century has revealed many
organizational principles used by the auditory system in its perception of
distinct sounds in complex acoustic environments. The purpose of these
principles is to separate the components of sounds coming from different
environmental sources and integrate those coming from the same source. These
same principles are applicable to artificial environments, such as the
auditory display of data or the monitoring of the states of complex systems
such as computers. I will go over some of these principles, illustrating them
with sounds, and will try to show how they can be employed to help the
listener make use of auditory displays more effectively.
* The SonicFinder - What Was I Thinking? by Bill Gaver
------------------------------------------------------
The SonicFinder was the first example of an interface using auditory icons,
and arguably still the best. But it was certainly a creature of its time. In
this talk, I want to discuss the functional, representational, aesthetic,
cultural, and political assumptions that it embodies, contrast these with my
current perceptions, and suggest new ways to think about auditory interfaces
that are more suitable to the current time.
We also have a full programme of papers, posters and demonstrations. For full
details of accepted papers see the end of this message or the ICAD websites.
We will also be having a talk from Dr Stephen Arnold, the President of the
International Computer Music Association.
TUTORIALS and WORKSHOPS
The 1st November will be a tutorial day. We have four great half-day
tutorials lined up. "Sounds of Action and Sounds of Silence" by Mikael
Fernstrom, "Sonic Framing: Relating Aural Perception to Visual Experience" by
Eric Somers, "User-Centred Design Principles and their Application in the
Effective Design of Auditory Displays" by Bruce Walker and "Psychophysics and
Technology of Virtual Acoustic Displays" by Elizabeth Wenzel. Tutorials cost
25 each (free to students!). Full details are on the web pages.
REGISTRATION
Full registration details can be found on the ICAD web sites. An early
registration discount is available until 21st September so book soon! Before
21st September registration is 80 for students, 200 for academics and 250 for
comercial attendees. After 21st September prices in all categories rise by
50. You must also book your hotel. Full details of hotels and payment
instructions can be found on the Websites.
SOCIAL PROGRAMME
As part of the social programme for ICAD we will be visiting the Glengoyne
whisky distillery to see (and taste!) whisky being made. There will also be a
reception by the Lord Provost of Glasgow in the City Chambers and a full
conference dinner.
