Call for papers and demos

After the success of the first three editions, we are pleased to invite the community to submit to the 4th International Symposium on the Internet of Sounds (IS² 2023). The Internet of Sounds is an emerging research field positioned at the intersection of the Internet of Things and Sound and Music Computing domains. The symposium will be hosted at the congress center “Ex Monastero delle Benedettine” in the city of Pisa, Italy.

The aim of the symposium is to bring together academics and industry to investigate and advance the development of Internet of Sounds technologies by using cutting-edge tools and processes. The event will consist of presentations from academics and keynotes, poster presentations, demonstrations, as well as tutorials.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

Wireless acoustic sensor networks
Networked music performances
Web Audio for the Internet of Sounds
Networked Musical XR
Detection and classification of sounds in acoustic sensor networks
Sound-based anomaly detection and sound-based predictive maintenance in networked settings
Visualization and Sonification of acoustic sensor networks
Ecoacoustics
Embedded Audio
Privacy and security in acoustic sensor networks
Smart Musical Instruments
Musical haptics for the Internet of Musical Things
Participatory live music performances
Music education applications for the Internet of Musical Things
Intelligent music production in Internet of Musical Things contexts
Spatial audio for the Internet of Sounds
Sonification for Internet of Sounds applications
Ubiquitous music
Protocols and exchange formats for the Internet of Sounds
Improving accessibility and inclusiveness within the Internet of Sounds
Open audio databases for Deep Learning and Data Mining
Challenges in the management and delivery of large audio databases
Visualization, access and indexing of audio databases
Cloud-based services for musical and audio applications
Semantic Audio applications for the Internet of Sounds
Sustainability and ethical aspects of the Internet of Sounds

We consider contributions in the form of a full paper (min 5 pages, max 10 pages), a poster paper (min 2 pages, max 4 pages), or a demo proposal (max 2 pages). Authors are welcome to submit to all three tracks. We encourage the submission of work in progress as well as more mature work.
