The ISon 2019 will take place in Stockholm, Sweden, on November 18th 2019, together with the first Nordic SMC conference (November 19-20). It is organized by the Sound and Music Computing group at the Division of Media Technology and Interaction Design at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
The ISon 2019 meeting is the 6th International workshop on Interactive Sonification, following the initial ISon 2004 in Bielefeld and the previous ISon 2007 in York, ISon 2010 in Stockholm, ISon 2013 in Erlangen and ISon 2016 in Bielefeld.
The meeting offers the chance to:
The main theme of ISon 2019 is Interactive Sonification Enabling Inclusion and Creativity
High quality will be assured by a peer-reviewing process, and besides an online publication we plan to also publish a special journal issue, as following the past ISon workshops (see IEEE Multimedia Special Issue on Interactive Sonification 2005, Springer Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces 2012, IEEE Multimedia 2015) and Springer Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces (to be announced soon)
Sonification and Auditory Displays are increasingly becoming an established technology for exploring data, monitoring complex processes, or assisting exploration and navigation of data spaces. Sonification addresses the auditory sense by transforming data into sound, allowing the human user to get valuable information from data by using their natural listening skills. The main differences of sound displays over visual displays are that sound can:
Auditory displays typically evolve over time since sound is inherently a temporal phenomenon. Interaction thus becomes an integral part of the process in order to select, manipulate, excite or control the display, and this has implications for the interface between humans and computers. In recent years it has become clear that there is an important need for research to address the interaction with auditory displays more explicitly.

Paper Chairs:
ISon2019 will now be held as a special session of the NordicSMC, as the organizing committees of ISon and NordicSMC have decided to affiliate the events.
NordicSMC sessions take place on the November 19--20. All workshops, keynotes and sessions are open for participants of both ISon and NordicSMC.
More details about these satellite events will be included in the workshop programme.
On the morning of 2019-11-19 we plan to offer tutorial/hands-on sessions on select topics.
One tutorial will be centered around the Bela boards. This is a hands-on introduction to how Bela can be used for realtime interactive sonification. Details to follow.
Interactive Sonification is the specialized research topic concerned with the use of sound to portray data, but where there is a person at the heart of an interactive control loop. This workshop encourages submissions for oral or poster presentations that deal with:
We invite two forms of presentation:
Note that the status of the publication is full peer-reviewed paper independent on the selected presentation form. To ensure a high quality of the contributions, all papers will go through a double-blind review selection process.
Please submit your paper in PDF format according to one of the following templates:
For each accepted paper, at least one author must register for the ISon 2019 conference prior to the author registration deadline (see important dates). Papers with no registered author on the author registration deadline will be removed from the workshop programme and will not appear in the proceedings.
The reviewing process of the full paper is double-blinded: authors and reviewers will be anonymous to each other. Therefore, when preparing your manuscript for submission, do not put actual authors names on the first page and avoid excessive or explicit references to your own work. To ensure a high quality of the contributions, the following criteria will be considered:
After the reviewing process, accepted papers will be designated (by the Programme Committee) either as posters or as lectures. All accepted papers have the same status, assignment as poster or lecture is not indicative of the relevance or potential impact but on the type of content and way to better reach the intended audience.
The peer-reviewed publications will be published on interactive-sonification.org and with DOI on Zenodo servers. Participants are invited to extend their accepted papers to submit to a special issue of an international journal.

Poster presentation of papers
Oral presentation of papers
ISon 2019 will feature a keynote by Kristina Höök (website), professor in Interaction Design at KTH, Stockholm, on the topic of somaesthetic design.
Remember that, for each paper, at least one author must be registered for the conference by November 1st 2019. If none of the authors have registered by this date, the paper will be removed from the conference proceedings.

The ISon 2019 will take place at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden.
Participants will have to arrange their own travel and accommodation. We advise you to book accommodation early. Some of the closest hotels are Clarion Collection Hotel Tapto, Scandic Park, Best Western Karlaplan, and Elite Hotel Arcadia, but there will be many other alternatives listed in hotel booking services. KTH is situated around 20 minutes walk from the city centre and is easy to reach by bus and metro.
