Papers & Short Papers

Papers are oral presentations of substantial contribution to the field. Full paper submissions should be up to 8 pages including images and references; Short Paper submissions should be up to 4 pages including images and references. Submissions will be subject to blind review by an international panel. One of the authors must present the paper at the conference for it to appear in the proceedings. Full Papers and Short Papers will have 20 and 10 minutes respectively for presenting.

Authors are strongly encouraged to consider how they can incorporate auditory display into the presentation of their papers, for instance by including examples of the sounds used in their work and/or by sonifying their results. Just as it would be unusual for presentations of papers on graphics not to include visual artefacts, we are aiming for it to be the norm that ICAD paper presentations employ sound in addition to the voice of the speaker.

Posters & Demonstrations

Posters

Posters are a forum for discussion of work-in-progress and/or significant or important results that do not warrant a full paper. Submissions should be up to 4 pages including images and references. Submissions will be reviewed by an international panel. Posters will be presented on a single A0 size sheet during the poster session. One of the authors must present the poster at the conference for it to appear in the proceedings.

We strongly encourage everyone who is presenting a poster to consider also giving a practical demonstration of their work. In your poster submission you should provide brief details of the demonstration that you will give. Descriptions of demonstrations should include details of the equipment and space you will use. We will assume that you will provide your own equipment to perform the demonstration, though if you believe we may be able to assist in providing standard equipment to help with this please give details in your submission.

Demonstrations

In addition to demonstrations of work presented in papers and posters, we are seeking to encourage submissions of demonstrations and performances of work that doesn't fit into the usual categories of submissions. If you are a developer of sound installations, or use sound in other innovative ways as the primary medium for giving performances, we encourage you to submit details of a demonstration of your work under this category to the conference. Submitted descriptions of demonstrations should explain the nature of your demonstration, and provide details of the equipment and space you will use. We will assume that you will provide your own equipment to perform the demonstration, though if you believe we may be able to assist in providing standard equipment to help with this please give details about that in your submission.
