Please disseminate widely - Apologies for cross-posting the COST IC0601 Action on Sonic Interaction Design (SID) presents Special Issue of the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies SONIC INTERACTION DESIGN A SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMAN-COMPUTER STUDIES (IJHCS) Guest Editors: Davide Rocchesso (IUAV University, Italy) Stefania Serafin (Aalborg University Copenhagen, Denmark) Sonic Interaction design (SID) is an emerging field that is positioned at the intersection of auditory display, ubiquitous computing, interaction design and interactive arts. This field is devoted to the privileged role the auditory channel can assume in exploiting the convergence of computing, communication and interactive technologies. This special issue aims to present a set of high-quality, high- impact, original research results in sonic interaction design and related areas. Papers illustrating new research directions or a broad research agenda for sonic interaction design are welcome. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: -Design methods for sonic interaction -Product sound design -Interactive sonification -Auditory display -Sonic interaction for mobile devices -Responsive sonic environments -Perceptual and cognitive studies of sonic interaction -Emotion and aesthetics in sonic interaction -Evaluation of sonic interactions Articles must be based on original research, although extended versions of conference papers may be acceptable if they contain at least 50% new material. It is expected that the special issue will contain some articles extended from papers of the 2008 CHI Workshop on Sonic Interaction Design (http://www.cost- sid.org/wiki/CHIworkshop), but other original articles are also encouraged. Complete articles should be submitted by the deadline of September 20, 2008 (EES will be open as of 15 August). Papers will be subject to the full IJHCS review process, with decisions expected by December 20, 2008. Timeline: May 2008, Call for papers 20 September 2008, 1st submission deadline 20 December 2008, Notification of 1st review 20 February 2009, 2nd submission 20 May 2009, Final notification 20 June 2009, Final revision due Target Publication date: October 2009 Submission Instruction: Manuscripts should not exceed 8000 words. Papers should be prepared according to the IJHCS Guide for authors, and should be submitted online. The IJHCS Guide for authors and online submission are available at http:// ees.elsevier.com/ijhcs/ .
