(Apologies for cross-postings) ICAD 2019 — Call for Submission of Papers, Extended Abstracts, Workshops, and Tutorials 25th International Conference on Auditory Display Northumbria University, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK 23–27 June, 2019 https://icad2019.icad.org https://twitter.com/ICAD2019 Theme/Special Focus of ICAD 2019 is "Digital Living: Sonification for Everyday Life". Digital technology and artificial intelligence are becoming embedded in the objects all around us, from consumer products to the built environment. Everyday life happens where People, Technology, and Place intersect. Our activities and movements are increasingly sensed, digitised and tracked. Of course, the data generated by modern life is a hugely important resource not just for companies who use it for commercial purposes, but it can also be harnessed for the benefit of the individuals it concerns. Sonification research that has hit the news headlines in recent times has often been related to big science done at large publicly funded labs with little impact on the day-to-day lives of people. At ICAD 2019 we want to explore how auditory display technologies and techniques may be used to enhance our everyday lives. From giving people access to what’s going on inside their own bodies, to the human concerns of living in a modern networked and technological city, the range of opportunities for auditory display is wide. PAPERS AND EXTENDED ABSTRACTS The ICAD 2019 committee is seeking papers and extended abstracts that will contribute to knowledge of how sonification can support everyday life. For details on topics of interest, proposal format, submission instructions, and additional conference information please visit https://icad2019.icad.org/call-for-participation HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY DESIGN CHALLENGE ON AUDITORY UX DESIGN FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES AND FUTURE MOBILITY In addition to the general papers call, the organizing committee is pleased to announce a special call for papers, videos and demonstrations of prototypes for the Hyundai Motor Company-sponsored design challenge on "Auditory User eXperience Design for Autonomous Vehicles and Future Mobility". Submissions to this special category could cover: - Auditory applications for infotainment for autonomous vehicles - Auditory interactions between connected vehicles - Auditory situation awareness in autonomous vehicles - Auditory interactions between autonomous vehicles and pedestrians - Auditory user interfaces for blind drivers in autonomous vehicles - Auditory displays for hand-over/take-over request in semi-autonomous vehicles - Sonification for emotion regulation/meditation of drivers in autonomous vehicles - Sonic interaction to build the feeling of trust as well as safety - Sonification for the use cases of electric/hybrid vehicles (e.g., charging, low battery, etc.) - Driver (or occupant) & vehicle agent dialogue design - Driving as playing instruments (driving sonification) - In-vehicle application of spatial (or 3D) sounds for new experiences WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS ICAD workshops and tutorials provide in-depth opportunities for conference attendees to discuss and explore important aspects of the field of auditory display with like-minded researchers and practitioners. Sessions can range from applications and programming methodologies to interdisciplinary research skills, emerging research areas, and challenge problems, to sonification/compositional Maker sessions. Space, facilities, technical support, and the number of workshop and tutorial sessions that can be accepted are limited, so early submission of proposals is encouraged. Workshop and tutorial organizers are expected to collaborate with the conference committee, issue calls for participation, gather and review contributed materials (if appropriate), and decide upon the final programme for their session. IMPORTANT DATES: - Friday 15th March 2019 — Deadline for submission of full papers and the HMC design challenge - Friday 29th March 2019 — Workshop/Tutorial proposals due  - Friday 26 April 2019 — Notification of decisions - Friday 3 May 2019 — Extended abstract submission (some full paper submissions may be recommended for the extended abstract category) Papers Chair: Tony Stockman icad2019papers(a)icad.org Workshop/Tutorial Chair: Derek Brock icad2019workshops(a)icad.org Conference Chairs: Paul Vickers and Matti Gröhn icad2019chairs(a)icad.org ABOUT ICAD First held in 1992, ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary conference with relevance to researchers, practitioners, artists, and graduate students working with sound to convey and explore information. The conference is unique in its specific focus on auditory displays and the range of interdisciplinary issues related to their use. Like its predecessors, ICAD 2019 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements. -- Paul Vickers Co-chair of ICAD 2019: https://icad2019.icad.org This message is intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential and/or legally privileged information.

2nd CFP: The 7th International Workshop on Musical Metacreation
by Kıvanç Tatar 22 Jan '19

22 Jan '19

Apologies for the cross posting. ====================== 2nd CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ====================== ((( MUME 2019 ))) The 7th International Workshop on Musical Metacreation http://musicalmetacreation.org June 17-18, 2019, Charlotte, North Carolina MUME 2019 is to be held at the University of North Carolina Charlotte in conjunction with the 10th International Conference on Computational Creativity, ICCC 2019 (http://computationalcreativity.net/iccc2019). === Important Dates === Workshop submission deadline: February 24, 2019 Notification date: April 28, 2019 Camera-ready version: May 19, 2019 Workshop dates: June 17-18, 2019 ====================== Metacreation applies tools and techniques from artificial intelligence, artificial life, and machine learning, themselves often inspired by cognitive and natural science, for creative tasks. Musical Metacreation studies the design and use of these generative tools and theories for music making: discovery and exploration of novel musical styles and content, collaboration between human performers and creative software “partners”, and design of systems in gaming and entertainment that dynamically generate or modify music. MUME intends to bring together artists, practitioners, and researchers interested in developing systems that autonomously (or interactively) recognize, learn, represent, compose, generate, complete, accompany, or interpret music. As such, we welcome contributions to the theory or practice of generative music systems and their applications in new media, digital art, and entertainment at large. Topics =========================== We encourage paper and demo submissions on MUME-related topics, including the following: -- Models, Representation and Algorithms for MUME ---- Novel representations of musical information ---- Advances or applications of AI, machine learning, and statistical techniques for generative music ---- Advances of A-Life, evolutionary computing or agent and multi-agent based systems for generative music ---- Computational models of human musical creativity -- Systems and Applications of MUME ---- Systems for autonomous or interactive music composition ---- Systems for automatic generation of expressive musical interpretation ---- Systems for learning or modeling music style and structure ---- Systems for intelligently remixing or recombining musical material ---- Online musical systems (i.e. systems with a real-time element) ---- Adaptive and generative music in video games ---- Generative systems in sound synthesis, or automatic synthesizer design ---- Techniques and systems for supporting human musical creativity ---- Emerging musical styles and approaches to music production and performance involving the use of AI systems ---- Applications of musical metacreation for digital entertainment: sound design, soundtracks, interactive art, etc. -- Evaluation of MUME ---- Methodologies for qualitative or quantitative evaluation of MUME systems ---- Studies reporting on the evaluation of MUME ---- Socio-economical Impact of MUME ---- Philosophical implication of MUME ---- Authorship and legal implications of MUME Submission Format and Requirements ================================= Please make submissions via the EasyChair system at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mume2019 The workshop is a day and a half event that includes: -Presentations of FULL TECHNICAL PAPERS (8 pages maximum) -Presentations of POSITION PAPERS and WORK-IN-PROGRESS PAPERS (5 pages maximum) -Presentations of DEMONSTRATIONS (3 pages maximum) which present outputs of systems (working live or offline). All papers should be submitted as complete works. Demo systems should be tested and working by the time of submission, rather than be speculative. We encourage audio and video material to accompany and illustrate the papers (especially for demos). We ask that authors arrange for their web hosting of audio and video files, and give URL links to all such files within the text of the submitted paper. Submissions do not have to be anonymized, as we use single-blind reviewing. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Workshop papers will be published as MUME 2019 Proceedings and will be archived with an ISBN number. Please use the updated MuMe paper template to format your paper. Also please feel free to edit the licence entry (at the bottom left of the first page of the new template). We created a new MUME 2019 template based on AAAI template. The MUME 2019 latex and Word template is available at: http://musicalmetacreation.org/buddydrive/file/templates_mume2019/ Submission should be uploaded using MUME 2019 EasyChair portal: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mume2019 For complete details on attendance, submissions and formatting, please visit the workshop website: <http://www.musicalmetacreation.org/> http://musicalmetacreation.org Presentation and Multimedia Equipment: ========================================== We will provide a video projection system as well as a stereo audio system for use by presenters at the venue. Additional equipment required for presentations and demonstrations should be supplied by the presenters. Contact the Workshop Chair to discuss any special equipment and setup needs/concerns.
