International Community for Auditory Display

NB: I'll CC this to Greg Kramer and Bruce Walker with the suggestion  
that a discussion group be organised at ICAD 2009, which I'll try to  
get to, or thereafter.
Let me know what you think!

Hi Florian,
I didn't manage to get to ICAD 08 and have just been catching up on  
the papers.
I was interested to read your paper on SonifYer as many of the  
thoughts expressed in it are at the basis of my own work on SoniPy:
See my ICAD 2007 paper which I hope you can get something from, +  the  
beginnings of a public domain approach at http://sonipy.sourceforge.net/

Perhaps there's a use in getting a group together to push the sw  
specific agenda along.
It's a big project and the ICAD community will probably take some time  
to get on board as I think most want solutions rather than strategies.
That is natural, those of us doing development work know how time-
consuming it is, so perhaps we (all) could come up with some mutually  
compatible development strategies, or at least share experiences about  
resources. I'm currently writing up a new technique for audification  
of high-freq. securities market data and, like seismology, (¿real-
time?) data handling is a major issue. I'm thinking specifically of  
flat-file vs SQL vs b-tree  approaches and the role, if any, of  
metatagging. But more broadly, there's concepts, software, platforms :-)

On another matter, I've enjoyed your papers on Auditory Seismology. I  
tried to download your thesis from the URL listed in your 2002 ICAD  
paper:
http://dochost.rz.huberlin.de/listen/dissertationen/geophysik-
liste.html without  success. Is there an alternative URL?

All the best for 2009,

David
