2nd Annual Web Audio Conference - Preliminary Announcement
April 4-6, 2016
Georgia Institute of Technology
Atlanta, Georgia USA
http://webaudio.gatech.edu <http://webaudio.gatech.edu/>
The 2nd Web Audio Conference (WAC) will be held April 4-6, 2016 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. WAC is an international conference dedicated to web audio technologies and applications. The conference welcomes web developers, music technologists, computer musicians, application designers, researchers, and …
[View More]people involved in web standards. The conference addresses research, development, design, and standards concerned with emerging audio-related web technologies such as Web Audio API, Web RTC, WebSockets and Javascript. It is open to industry engineers, R&D scientists, academic researchers, artists, and students. The first Web Audio Conference <http://wac.ircam.fr/> was held in January 2015 at IRCAM <http://ircam.fr/> and Mozilla <http://www.mozilla.org/> in Paris, France.
The Internet has become much more than a simple storage and delivery network for audio files, as modern web browsers on desktop and mobile devices bring new user experiences and interaction opportunities. New and emerging web technologies and standards now allow applications to create and manipulate sound in real-time at near-native speeds, enabling the creation of a new generation of web-based applications that mimic the capabilities of desktop software while leveraging unique opportunities afforded by the web in areas such as social collaboration, user experience, cloud computing, and portability. The Web Audio Conference focuses on innovative work by artists, researchers, and engineers in industry and academia, highlighting new standards, tools, APIs, and practices as well as innovative web audio applications for musical performance, education, research, collaboration, and production.
Contributions to the second edition of the Web Audio Conference are encouraged in the following areas:
Web Audio API, Web MIDI, Web RTC, and other existing or emerging web standards for audio and music
Development tools, practices, and strategies of web audio applications
Innovative audio and music based web applications
Client-side audio processing (real-time or non real-time)
Audio data and metadata formats and network delivery
Server-side audio processing and client access
Client-side audio engine and audio rendering
Frameworks for audio synthesis, processing, and transformation
Web-based audio visualization and/or sonification
Multimedia integration
Web-based live coding environments for music
Web standards and use of standards within audio based web projects
Hardware and tangible interfaces in web applications
Codecs and standards for remote audio transmission
Any other innovative work related to web audio that does not fall into the above categories
We welcome submissions in the following tracks: paper, poster, demo, performance, and artwork. All submissions will be double-blind peer reviewed. The conference proceedings, which will include both papers (for papers and posters) and abstracts (for demos, performances, and artworks), will be published online and in SmartTech, Georgia Tech’s archival open-access repository.
Papers: Authors are invited to submit 4-6 page papers. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference as an oral presentation.
Posters: Authors are invited to submit posters with an accompanying 2-4 page paper. Accepted posters will be presented at the conference as a poster presentation. We encourage authors to submit their work simultaneously to both the poster and demo track
Demos: Authors are invited to submit demos. Accepted demos will be presented at the conference in a hands-on demo session. We encourage authors to submit their work simultaneously to both the poster and demo track. Demo submissions should include a title, a one-paragraph abstract and a complete list of technical requirements (including anything expected to be provided by the conference organizers).
Performances: We invite proposals for performances making creative use of web-based audio applications. Performances can include elements such as audience device participation, web-based interfaces, WebMIDI, WebSockets, and/or other imaginative approaches to web technology. Submissions must include a title, a one-paragraph abstract of the performance, a link to video documentation of the work, a complete list of technical requirements (including anything expected to be provided by conference organizers), and names and one-paragraph biographies of all musicians involved in the performance.
Artworks: We invite proposals for sonic web artworks and interactive applications which make significant use of web audio standards such as Web Audio API or WebMIDI in conjunction with other technologies such as HTML5 graphics, WebGL, and/or interactivity. Works must be suitable for presentation on a computer kiosk with headphones. They will be featured at the conference venue throughout the conference and on the conference web site. Submissions must include a title, one-paragraph abstract of the work, a link to access the work, and names and one-paragraph biographies of the author(s).

hi all,
we have incorporated a small change to the rules when people get
(semi-)automatically unsubscribed from the various pd-lists:
we have started to unsubscribe everybody of whom we are aware of that
they mark Pd-list mails as SPAM.
background:
the various Pd-lists have a lot of subscribers. this means that the
mailinglist servers have a relatively high sending frequency.
some subscribers come and stay. others find more interersting stuff to do.
people who are not very interested in the …
[View More]current ramblings on the
Pd-lists have a few options:
- ignore (and/or delete) mails received from the Pd-list.
- set their delivery options to "no" (so they are technically still
subscribed to the mailinglist, but won't receive any emails)
- unsubscribe from the mailinglist.
some people have also found a 4th way:
- mark emails from the Pd-lists as "SPAM", so they are automatically
filtered by their provider.
now the last option imposes a bit of a problem on the usefulness of
the entire Pd-list, since marking these legitimate emails¹ as SPAM has
consequences such as:
- (distributed) spam filter algorithms learn that Pd-lists' emails are
(likely to be) spam.
- the mailservers used for distributing the mailinglist get a
reputation as "sending SPAM" and end up on various blacklists (so
these mailservers can no longer distribute legit emails).
both consequences mean that delivery of mailinglist emails does not
only stop for the original user (who assumedly wants to get rid of
Pd-lists' mails) but also for other people using the same provider
and/or whose providers use the same anti-spam systems.
we are optimistically assuming that most of these "other" people
subscribed to the mailinglists do want to receive these emails. thus,
marking (legit) Pd-list emails as SPAM actively harms the
communication channels of these "other" people.
in order to keep everybody happy, we have decided to unsubscribe
everybody who tags Pd-list emails as SPAM (as reported by the
SPAM-reporting monitoring services some of the major hosters provide²).
while this keeps harm (hopefully) low, it cannot completely undo all
negative consequences.
therefore i would like to ask you to never tag legit emails as SPAM.
if you are no longer interested in emails from the Pd-lists, please
*unsubscribe yourself*.
Every email from the mailinglist contains the information to do that,
both in the headers and the body of the email.
thank you for your understanding,
happy patching.

¹ admittedly there has been the occasional "real" SPAM on the
mailinglist, though i cannot remember more than probably a dozen
(compared to more than 100k emails in total).
² obviously we cannot unsubscribe people who tag their emails as SPAM
and of which we no nothing.
