Personal and Ubiquitous Computing - Call for Papers: What you hear is what you see? Perspectives on Modalities in Sound and Music Interaction.

CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS

The AudioMostly conference series is interested in Sonic Interaction Design and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in general. The conference provides a space to reflect on the role of sound and music in our lives and how to understand, develop and design systems which relate to sound and music with a particular interest in this from a broad HCI perspective. The special theme of this year’s conference What you hear is what you see? Perspectives on modalities in sound and music interaction called particularly for submissions exploring and questioning the potentials and limits of cross-modal perception and interaction in the context of multimodal information design including sonification and visualization as well as artistic conceptualizations, touching aspects, such as attention, expectation, and memory.

This theme issue of Personal and Ubiquitous Computing is based on extended papers from the AudioMostly 2022: What you hear is what you see? Perspectives on modalities in sound and music interaction (https://audiomostly.com/2022/call/cfp/ (this opens in a new tab)). In order to broaden the scope of topics and bring together the highly related communities, we decided to extend and re-open this call for authors of accepted papers at the International Conference on Auditory Display 2023 ( https://icad2023.icad.org/ (this opens in a new tab) ). Thus, authors of accepted submissions at AudioMostly 2022 and ICAD 2023 are invited to significantly extend their work for this wide-ranging theme issue which will reflect the range and diversity of the research featured at the conference. We expect that papers will be significantly extended with at least 30% for long paper and 50% for short papers new material from accepted conference papers resulting in a word count between 9.000 and 12.000. It should be clearly stated in your submission that it builds upon formerly published content. A maximum of two submissions per contributing author will be permitted.

 Researchers working in areas covered by Audio Mostly  (https://audiomostly.com/2022/call/cfc/ (this opens in a new tab)) and ICAD 2023 ( https://icad2023.icad.org/cfp/website (this opens in a new tab) ) who were unable to feature in the event should also contact the editors if they have an interest in publishing in this theme issue. Please visit both conferences' websites for an overview of topics we would like to cover. Submissions should be original and not be under consideration in other journal publication venues. All papers will be peer reviewed.

Topics of Interest
The topics of interest for this SI include, but are not limited to:

  • music
  • sound
  • interaction
  • audio
