SMC 2012 in Copenhagen

9th Sound and Music Computing Conference, 12-14 July 2012
Medialogy section,  Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology, Aalborg University Copenhagen

http://smc2012.smcnetwork.org/

The SMC Conference is the forum for international exchanges around the
core interdisciplinary topics of Sound and Music Computing,
and features workshops, lectures, posters, demos, concerts, sound installations, and
satellite events. The SMC Summer School, which takes place just before the
conference, aims at giving young researchers the opportunity to
interactively learn about core topics in this interdisciplinary field from experts,
and to build a network of international contacts.
The specific theme of SMC 2012 is “Illusions”, and
that of the SMC Summer School is “Multimodality”.

================Important dates=================
Deadline for submissions of music and sound installations: Friday, February 3, 2012
Deadline for paper submissions: Monday 2 April, 2012
Notification of music acceptances: Friday, March 16, 2012
Deadline for applications to the Summer School: Friday March 30, 2012
Notification of acceptance to Summer School: Monday April 16, 2012
Deadline for submission of final music and sound installation materials: Friday, April 27, 2012
Notification of paper acceptances: Wednesday 2 May, 2012
Deadline for submission of camera-ready papers: Monday 4 June, 2012
SMC Summer School: Sunday 8 – Wednesday morning 11 July, 2012
SMC Workshops: Wednesday afternoon 11 July, 2012
SMC 2011: Thursday 12 – Saturday 14 July, 2012
===========================================

SMC2012 will cover topics that lie at the core of the Sound and Music Computing research and creative exploration.
We broadly group these into:
- processing sound and music data
- modeling and understanding sound and music data
- interfaces for sound and music creation
-music creation and performance with established and novel hardware and software technologies

================Call for papers==================
SMC 2012 will include paper presentations as both lectures and poster/
demos. We invite submissions examining all the core areas of the Sound
and Music Computing field. Submission related to the theme “Illusions” are especially encouraged.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed according to their novelty, technical content, presentation, and
contribution to the overall balance of topics represented at the
conference. Paper submissions should have a maximum of 8 pages
including figures and references, and a length of 6 pages is strongly
encouraged. Accepted papers will be designated to be presented either
as posters/demos or as lectures. More details are available at

http://smc2012.smcnetwork.org/

===========================================

================Call for music works and sound installations==================
SMC 2012 will include four curated concerts addressing the conference topic “Illusions”. We invite submissions of original compositions created for acoustic instruments and electronics, novel instruments and interfaces, music robots, and speakers as sound objects. Submissions of sound installation are also encouraged. See curatorial statements and call specifics at: http://smc2012.smcnetwork.org.

Multimodal interaction in virtual environments

We are organizing a Copenhagen a new PhD course on multimodal interaction.

Aalborg University Copenhagen
May 10,11,12, 13 and June 6, 2011

This 4-ECTS course provides an overview of multimodal interaction techniques for virtual environments. We start with an overview of multimodal perception to explain how humans behave in virtual environments where incomplete and impoverished sensory cues are reproduced. We then present an overview of technologies for visual-haptic-audio feedback in virtual environments, together with sensing technologies based on capacitive sensing and optical motion capture. We discuss issues of integration of technologies, and we describe algorithms for recognizing input data as well as simulating feedback based on physics modelling. We then introduce evaluation techniques for multimodal environments.
The course extends for 4 ECTS, divided into 2 ECTS of lectures and 2 ECTS of mini-project.

Content:
Introduction to multimodal interaction in virtual environments: perceptual illusions, sensory substitution, and multimodal enhancement.
-Visual feedback: screen, projectors, head-mounted display
-Auditory feedback: surround sound, headphones
-Technologies for haptic feedback
-Physics based algorithms for audio-haptic feedback
-Sensing and tracking technologies (capacitive sensors, optical motion capture)
-Integration of technologies
.Evaluation of multimodal interfaces

The course is FREE but students will have to pay for their own accommodation and board.

If you wish to attend, please register BEFORE 15 NOVEMBER on the following page:

NordiCHI 2008

Next NordiCHI will take place at IKDC in Lund, 20-22 October 2008. The conference is joint venture between Lund University, Malmö Högskola and IT Univeristy of Copenhagen

Using bridges points at a variety of bridges: individual-to-individual, many-to-many, culture-to-culture, region-to-region, human-to-artifact, mankind-to-technology, artifact-to-artifact, etc. The uniting feature is the focus on the using, including not only user interaction aspects before and during the design process but also a variety of experiences of the effects of usage in every day surroundings.
