DAFx24

We are pleased to announce that the 27th International Conference on Digital Audio Effects (DAFx24) will be organised by the Institute of Sound Recording (IoSR) at the University of Surrey.

The conference will be hosted on the university campus and will feature oral presentations, poster and demo sessions, keynote addresses, and tutorials. The social program – including a welcome reception, concert and banquet – will offer opportunities for more informal interaction.

Topics

This annual conference brings together research practitioners across the globe working with digital audio processing for music and speech, sound design, sound art, acoustics and related applications. Original contributions for DAFx24 are encouraged in, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Capture and analysis

• Representation, transformation and modelling

• Transmission and resynthesis

• Effects and manipulation

• Perception, psychoacoustics and evaluation

• Spatial sound analysis, estimation, coding and synthesis

• Source separation

• Physical modelling, virtual acoustic and analogue models

• Sound synthesis, composition and sonification

• Hardware and software design

• Music Information Retrieval and Intelligent Audio Engineering

• Sound for Virtual and Augmented reality

• Applications of digital audio effects

• Multisensory presentation and digital effects

This year we especially welcome submissions addressing:

• Synthesis for AR/MR/VR and spatial audio reproduction

• Machine Learning-based methods for all topics above

Important dates full-paper submissions

• Full paper submission: 20th March 2024 23:59 (Anywhere on Earth) 27th March 2024 23:59 (Anywhere on Earth)

• Extension notice: while the deadline for new submissions will close as planned on 20th March, authors will be able to update the manuscript until 27th March 2024 23:59 (Anywhere on Earth). This is a hard deadline and will not be extended further. 

• Notification of acceptance: 8th May 2024

• Camera-ready papers due: 14th June 2024

• For borderline papers, revised (camera-ready) paper and rebuttal due: 29th May 2024

Call for Demonstrations

The Call for Demonstrations invites to submit demonstrations in topics related to the DAFx24 main track (see above) accompanied by a short paper (2-4 pages). The demonstration should be technical and not have an overly commercial angle, and will be presented at dedicated demo sessions at the conference venue.In case you need access to specialised equipment as part of your demonstration, please contact the Demonstrations Chair (a.neidhardt@surrey.ac.uk) well in advance of submission. Spatial audio demos will be able to use our 22.2 system in the ITU-R BS.1116 listening room, or selected tracking devices and Head-mounted displays. 

• Submission deadline for Demonstrations: 22nd May 2024 23:59 (AoE) (Please note that there will be no extension beyond this deadline). 

• Notification of acceptance: 14th June 2024

Submitted papers must be camera-ready and formatted according to the templates and instructions available at the DAFx24 website (please use the Demonstrations-specific template). All papers have to be submitted through the EasyChair conference management system and are subject to peer review. Acceptance may be conditional upon changes being made to the paper as directed by the reviewers. Final versions of the accepted papers will be included as part of the DAFx Proceedings alongside accepted papers of the main track.Volumes 2008 to 2023 of DAFx proceedings are now indexed in Scopus and this will apply similarly to DAFx24 proceedings. 

For demos related to papers submitted to the main track: All accepted papers of the main track will be asked to participate in a SHOW AND TELL session after the scientific presentation/poster, where they will get a chance to show live demos. Authors of a paper submitted to the main track do not need to submit a separate Demonstration paper, unless the demonstration requires explanations that go beyond what is already described in their main-track paper.  

Call for Late Breaking Results

We are inviting short papers (2-4) pages describing Late Breaking Results (LBR). LBR papers should contain original and unpublished research in any area relevant to the main track for DAFx. Sufficient work must have been completed to indicate viability of the work, but by their nature LBR papers typically outline preliminary and exciting results.

• Submission deadline for LBR: 22nd May 2024 23:59 (AoE) (Please note that there will be no extension beyond this deadline). 

• Notification of acceptance: 14th June 2024

Submitted papers must be camera-ready and formatted according to the templates and instructions available at the DAFx24 website (please use the LBR-specific template). All papers have to be submitted through the EasyChair conference management system and are subject to peer review. Acceptance may be conditional upon changes being made to the paper as directed by the reviewers. Final versions of the accepted papers will be included as part of the DAFx Proceedings alongside accepted papers of the main track. Volumes 2008 to 2023 of DAFx proceedings are now indexed in Scopus and this will apply similarly to DAFx24 proceedings.
