Audio Display Software - Discussion-starting emails - transcript
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

I think this discussion can
I think this discussion can largely continue on the established icad.org forums. Since there seems to be a several parts to this topic, perhaps it deserves its own section. Something like "Sonification Software".
I'd like to continue this discussion, but it would be more comfortable for me to have it in an environment such as a forum, where I'm not entering everyone's inbox each time. Anyone can start threads of discussion on a forum, rather than the multi-part replies required in maintaining these ideas via email. The forum threads will indicate what is important to the ICAD software community and the content shows what sort of issues are important in those ideas. After some sort of time span we can build a draft document and discuss it on the forums. Around April we could have a whitepaper and schedule ready for ICAD.
If Chris creates the forum, I can manage it. I can also provide overall summaries of the topics discussed, giving the SIG material to create documents in preparation of the conference.
