--- AES 145th Convention, 2018 New York, NY, USA Dates: 2018 Oct 17–20 Location: Javits Center, New York
Papers chairs: Areti Andreopoulou and Braxton Boren Topics
Proposals describing work in any area of audio engineering and its related arts and sciences will be considered for inclusion in convention sessions. A detailed list of proposed topics <http://www.aes.org/events/145/authors/cfp/#Topics> is given below.
*Categories* Authors may submit proposals in four categories:
*Submitting a Proposal* Category 1 and 2 proposals are to be submitted electronically to the AES 145th proposal submission site atwww.aes.org/145th_authorsby 2018 May 31.
For the complete-manuscript peer-reviewed convention papers (category 1), authors are asked to submit papers of 4–10 pages to the submission site. These complete-manuscript papers will be reviewed by at least two experts in the field, and authors will be notified of acceptance by 2018 July 5. Final manuscript with revisions requested by the reviewers have to be submitted before 2018 July 26. If rejected as a convention paper (Cat. 1), the proposal may still be accepted for categories 2 or 3.
For abstract-precis-reviewed proposals (Cat. 2), a title, 60-to 120-word abstract, and 500- to 750-word précis of the proposed paper must be submitted by 2018 May 31. Authors will be notified of acceptance by 2018 June 28, and the authors must submit their final manuscripts (4 to 10 pages) before 2018 July 26. If rejected from this category, the proposal may be still be accepted as an engineering brief (Cat. 3). Papers exceeding 10 pages run the risk of rejection without review. If such a paper is accepted the author will be charged a fee of $25 for every page over 10.
For engineering briefs (Cat. 3), authors must supply a short synopsis to http://www.aes.org/145th_ebriefsby 2018 August 1 to indicate their desire to present an engineering brief, followed later by an electronic manuscript. Topics for the engineering briefs can be very wide-ranging. Relaxed reviewing of submissions will consider mainly whether they are of interest to AES convention attendees and are not overly commercial. PDF manuscripts of 1–5 pages following the prescribed template must be submitted by 2018 August 30. Schedule
The submission sites will be available by early March.
