UK Autumn School - Software Carpentry for Audio and Music Researchers

The aim of this one-week Autumn School (London, UK, 1-5 November 2010) is to train PhD students and researchers in the software development skills required to build reliable research software quickly and with a minimum of effort, and so maximize the impact of their research.

The Autumn School is presented by Dr. Greg Wilson in collaboration with SoundSoftware.ac.uk: Sustainable Software for Audio and Music Research.

We are seeking nominations for a small number (up to 15) of UK-based PhD students or early career researchers to attend the Autumn School. The SoundSoftware.ac.uk project will pay for reasonable travel and accommodation costs for attendees.

Due to the level of interest we anticipate in this initial Autumn School, and to obtain a balance of attendees from several UK research groups, we are asking Research Groups to nominate potential attendees. If you are a PhD student or researcher in a UK research group, please contact your PhD supervisor, line manager, or Head of Group to ask them to nominate you.

More Information and Instructions for Nominators

Please see the main page about this event for more information about this event and the nomination process.

SoundSoftware 2014: Videos now available!

The SoundSoftware 2014 workshop, our third annual workshop on software and data in audio and music research, was just as enjoyable as the previous two. Because so much research in this field ends up being expressed through software, a software workshop turns out to be all about the means by which research becomes useful and relevant to people other than the original researchers—fertile ground for interesting and thought-provoking talks.

The workshop videos are now available online at http://soundsoftware.ac.uk/soundsoftware2014, so if you weren't able to make it in person, catch up here!

Our third annual one-day workshop on Software and Data for Audio and Music Research takes place on the 8th of July 2014 at Queen Mary, University of London. The workshop includes talks on issues such as robust software development for audio and music research, reproducible research in general, management of research data, and open access.
