The=20 beautiful days and bright nights of Scandinavian summer,=20 on the shores of the Baltic Sea, will set the atmosphere=20 for the AES 22nd International Conference on Virtual,=20 Synthetic and Entertainment Audio. The conference will=20 be held on the picturesque campus of the Helsinki=20 University of Technology, located in the city of Espoo,=20 about 10 kilometers from Helsinki. This three-day conference will bring together researchers=20 and developers in the field of virtual and synthetic=20 audio as well as entertainment audio technologies and=20 applications. 3-D audio and virtual acoustics are an=20 active area of research, and will be a topic for several=20 interesting sessions. Sound synthesis and modeling=20 techniques will be discussed, with special emphasis on=20 physical modeling of musical instruments. Research problems=20 in audio coding, delivery and presentation as well as=20 auditory scene analysis will be presented. Furthermore,=20 perceptual issues and subjective testing will be discussed. In addition to the 8 paper sessions and 1 poster session,=20 four distinguished speakers have been invited by the=20 committee to cover up-to-date issues in the topic area of=20 the conference. Prof. Jens Blauert, a true pioneer in=20 spatial hearing research, will give a presentation on the=20 compelling topic of instrumental analysis and synthesis of=20 auditory scenes. Computational modeling and simulation of=20 acoustic spaces, which is a very active area of research=20 in acoustics, will be discussed by Prof. Peter Svensson.=20 Dr. Xavier Rodet will present the current status and=20 future challenges of research in singing voice synthesis,=20 and Dr. J=FCrgen Herre will complete the prominent invited=20 speaker lineup with a talk on an ever topical subject of=20 audio coding and its role in entertainment technology. To complement the technical program, the conference=20 committee, headed by co-chairs Nick Zacharov and Jyri=20 Huopaniemi, has put together an exciting and eventful=20 social program. A kickoff for the conference will be held=20 on Friday evening June 14 at the Nokia Research Center head=20 office in downtown Helsinki. The attendees will enjoy a=20 cruise in the Helsinki Archipelago prior to the Banquette,=20 and they will also be immersed in a traditional Finnish=20 Experience, which will surely leave no one cold!=20 We are looking forward to three days of high-quality=20 technical presentations topped off with active and fruitful=20 discussions and social events - a true technical and=20 social gathering of audio experts from all over the world.=20 We wish the audio engineering community warmly welcome to=20 the AES 22nd International Conference!
