INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AUDITORY DISPLAY 2018

10 - 15 JUNE, 2018

MICHIGAN TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

ICAD 2018 Sonification as ADSR

Art | Design | Science | Research

Auditory researchers are familiar with “ADSR” (Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release), which are basic components of sound. In ICAD 2018, we want to (1) not only go back to the basics but also (2) explore and integrate various potentials of auditory displays and sonification as “ADSR” (Art-Design-Science-Research). Under this conference theme, we will value and embrace all types of submissions, including papers, extended abstracts, multimedia (videos/audios), concert pieces, demos and installations.

Hosted by Michigan Technological University’s Cognitive and Learning Sciences, Computer Science, College of Sciences and Arts and the Institute of Computing and Cybersystems’ Center for Human-Centered Computing.
