2nd Annual Web Audio Conference - Preliminary Announcement
April 4-6, 2016
Georgia Institute of Technology
Atlanta, Georgia USA

The 2nd Web Audio Conference (WAC) will be held April 4-6, 2016 at Georgia Tech
in Atlanta. WAC is an international conference dedicated to web audio
technologies and applications. The conference welcomes web developers, music
technologists, computer musicians, application designers, researchers, and
people involved in web standards. The conference addresses research,
development, design, and standards concerned with emerging audio-related web
technologies such as Web Audio API, Web RTC, WebSockets and Javascript. It is
open to industry engineers, R&D scientists, academic researchers, artists, and
students. The first Web Audio Conference <http://wac.ircam.fr/> was held in
January 2015 at IRCAM <http://ircam.fr/> and Mozilla <http://www.mozilla.org/>
in Paris, France.
The Internet has become much more than a simple storage and delivery network
for audio files, as modern web browsers on desktop and mobile devices bring new
user experiences and interaction opportunities. New and emerging web
technologies and standards now allow applications to create and manipulate
sound in real-time at near-native speeds, enabling the creation of a new
generation of web-based applications that mimic the capabilities of desktop
software while leveraging unique opportunities afforded by the web in areas
such as social collaboration, user experience, cloud computing, and
portability. The Web Audio Conference focuses on innovative work by artists,
researchers, and engineers in industry and academia, highlighting new
standards, tools, APIs, and practices as well as innovative web audio
applications for musical performance, education, research, collaboration, and
production.
Contributions to the second edition of the Web Audio Conference are encouraged
in the following areas:
Web Audio API, Web MIDI, Web RTC, and other existing or emerging web standards
for audio and music
Development tools, practices, and strategies of web audio applications
Innovative audio and music based web applications
Client-side audio processing (real-time or non real-time)
Audio data and metadata formats and network delivery
Server-side audio processing and client access
Client-side audio engine and audio rendering
Frameworks for audio synthesis, processing, and transformation
Web-based audio visualization and/or sonification
Multimedia integration
Web-based live coding environments for music
Web standards and use of standards within audio based web projects
Hardware and tangible interfaces in web applications
Codecs and standards for remote audio transmission
Any other innovative work related to web audio that does not fall into the
above categories
We welcome submissions in the following tracks: paper, poster, demo,
performance, and artwork. All submissions will be double-blind peer reviewed.
The conference proceedings, which will include both papers (for papers and
posters) and abstracts (for demos, performances, and artworks), will be
published online and in SmartTech, Georgia Tech’s archival open-access
repository.
Papers: Authors are invited to submit 4-6 page papers. Accepted papers will be
presented at the conference as an oral presentation.
Posters: Authors are invited to submit posters with an accompanying 2-4 page
paper. Accepted posters will be presented at the conference as a poster
presentation. We encourage authors to submit their work simultaneously to both
the poster and demo track
Demos: Authors are invited to submit demos. Accepted demos will be presented at
the conference in a hands-on demo session. We encourage authors to submit their
work simultaneously to both the poster and demo track. Demo submissions should
include a title, a one-paragraph abstract and a complete list of technical
requirements (including anything expected to be provided by the conference
organizers).
Performances: We invite proposals for performances making creative use of
web-based audio applications. Performances can include elements such as
audience device participation, web-based interfaces, WebMIDI, WebSockets,
and/or other imaginative approaches to web technology. Submissions must include
a title, a one-paragraph abstract of the performance, a link to video
documentation of the work, a complete list of technical requirements (including
anything expected to be provided by conference organizers), and names and
one-paragraph biographies of all musicians involved in the performance.
Artworks: We invite proposals for sonic web artworks and interactive
applications which make significant use of web audio standards such as Web
Audio API or WebMIDI in conjunction with other technologies such as HTML5
graphics, WebGL, and/or interactivity. Works must be suitable for presentation
on a computer kiosk with headphones. They will be featured at the conference
venue throughout the conference and on the conference web site. Submissions
must include a title, one-paragraph abstract of the work, a link to access the
work, and names and one-paragraph biographies of the author(s).
