We are pleased to invite you to the 5th International Symposium on the
Internet of Sounds (IS2 2024). The Internet of Sounds is an emerging
research field at the intersection of the Sound and Music Computing and
the Internet of Things domains.
The symposium will be hosted at the International Audio Laboratories
Erlangen, Germany, a joint institution of the Friedrich-Alexander
Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and Fraunhofer Institute for
Integrated Circuits IIS.

The aim is to bring together academics and industry to investigate and
advance the development of Internet of Sounds technologies by using
novel tools and processes. The event will consist of presentations,
keynotes, panels, poster presentations, demonstrations, tutorials, music
performances, and installations.

*Call for Internet of Sounds Performances and Installations*

We invite submissions that showcase the internet of sounds in
performance and sound installations. Proposed works should have a clear
connection to the conference and may relate to a technical paper or demo
submission. We particularly invite pieces that last 5-12 minutes,
however, shorter and longer performance proposals will be considered.

*Performances and Installations Submission*

A proposal (compiled in a single pdf) should include:

– One-page project description
– One-page description of technical requirements
– Short program notes
– Artist bio(s)
– URL to any performance/installation audio or audio-visual
documentation (if available).  The documentation link should use
streaming-only services, e.g., SoundCloud, Vimeo, YouTube.

Please keep in mind the following when preparing performance and
installation submissions:

– Space requirements: Indicate whether the work would be more suitable
for a university environment (hallways, staircases, indoor and outdoor
plazas), club, traditional concert stage, gallery, public space, or
other venue. For questions regarding equipment and venue descriptions,
please contact the Music & Installations Co-chairs
– Performer(s): List all performers that would need to be involved.
Please note that the organizers cannot provide funding to support
performers’ travel or accommodation.
– Feasibility: Provide evidence of the feasibility of the performance or
installation. Include documentation and list of previous performances of
the submitted or related work that demonstrate the submitter’s capacity
to implement the proposal.
