Call for Proposals: SoundSoftware 2014 Workshop on Software and Data for Audio and Music

Do you have a story to tell about the role of software or data in audio and music research?

This one-day workshop invites speakers from across the audio and music research community in academia and industry to tell their experiences of software development, maintenance, reproducible research, research data, open access, and any other related topics.

You can read the programmes from the 2012 and 2013 workshops here:

We are keen to broaden the range of presenters for the 2014 event in terms of background and field of work. If you don't see your own experiences represented in the past two years' programmes, please take that as a positive sign and make a proposal!

Deadline: Fri 30 May 2014

Workshop overview

Software and data have increasingly become an integral part of our research in the audio and music community. In the process, the way that we do research in this field is changing, with methods and software becoming increasingly complex, and reliable datasets becoming increasingly important.

The third SoundSoftware.ac.uk one-day workshop on Software and Data for Audio and Music Research will include talks and discussions on issues such as robust software development for audio and music research, reproducible research, management of research data, and open access.

While our project is concentrating on the audio and music research community, we believe many of these issues will have wider interest, and we want to link with other communities for which proper handling of research software and data are important.

The workshop will take place on Tuesday, 8 July 2014 at Queen Mary, University of London.

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.
