                    CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
                          ICAD '97:
                         The Fourth
         International Conference on Auditory Display
                    Palo Alto, California
                  Dates: November 2-5, 1997
                 http://www.santafe.edu/~icad

                        Sponsored by:
              Xerox Palo Alto Research Center

Continuing the work of the successful ICAD '92, '94, and '96 meetings,
ICAD '97 will be held on November 2-5, 1997 in Palo Alto, California,
USA.  ICAD is a forum for presenting research on the use of sound to
display data, monitor systems, and provide enhanced user interfaces for
computers and virtual reality systems.  It is unique in its singular
focus on auditory displays, and the array of perception, technology,
design and  application areas that these encompass.  Like its
predecessors, ICAD '97 will be a single-track conference.  Attendance
is open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements.

POSTERS AND DEMONSTRATIONS

ICAD '97 will include an informal reception hosted by Interval Research
where explorative concepts as well as techniques and tools for
auditory display may be presented in either a poster or demonstration
format.

        WE STILL HAVE SPACE FOR MORE DEMOS AND POSTERS!!!

Poster and demo submissions will be evaluated on the basis of their
innovation, relevance, scientific contribution, and potential logistic
constraints. Commercial products are eligible, but sales and marketing
activities are not appropriate. The submission should consist of a
cover letter indicating the primary author's name, affiliation,
address, phone number, and e-mail address, and three copies of a
description of your demonstration or poster (2 pages maximum) sent to
the following address by September 19, 1997:

        International Community for Auditory Display

ICAD '97, is a program of the International Community for Auditory
Display. ICAD is a not-for-profit corporation created to support
research, education and community formation in the emerging field of
auditory display. The primary projects of ICAD are the conferences, the
listserve (icad-request@santafe.edu) and the ICAD Web site
(http://www.santafe.edu/~icad). Since auditory display researchers come
from a wide variety of disciplinary, professional, and geographical
backgrounds, ICAD seeks, above all, to facilitate communication across
boundaries. A membership organization founded in 1996, ICAD welcomes
participation in its programs and governance. For more information
about ICAD please contact Gregory Kramer at kramer@listen.com.

           Xerox Palo Alto Research Center

The Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) performs
pioneering research that covers a broad spectrum of research
fields ranging from electronic materials and device research
through computer-based systems and software, to research
into work practices and technologies in use. The center's
mission is to pursue those technologies that relate to
Xerox's current and emerging businesses.

Located in the Stanford University Industrial Park in the
heart of Silicon Valley, PARC was charged upon its founding
in 1970 to be the "architect of the information age." Since
then it has delivered into use such significant pieces of
the current information infrastructure as laser printers,
graphical user interfaces, object-oriented programming
languages, and Ethernet local area networks. PARC has
contributed to user interfaces, electronic components,
embedded software and architectures for each new line of
Xerox copiers, printers and systems reprographics products.
