The Third
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AUDITORY DISPLAY
Palo Alto, California
November 4-6, 1996
Co-sponsored by
Santa Fe Institute
and
Xerox PARC
Continuing the work of the successful ICAD '92 and '94 meetings, ICAD '96 will be held November 4-6, 1996, in Palo Alto, California, USA. ICAD is a forum for presenting research on the use of sound to display data, monitor systems, and provide enhanced user interfaces for computers and virtual reality systems. It is unique in its singular focus on auditory displays and the array of perception, technology, and application areas that these encompass. Like its predecessors, ICAD '96 will be a single-track conference. Attendance is open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements.
REGISTRATION
Conference registration fees include all sessions, special events, and conference proceedings. The fee for corporate and academic participants is $300 ($325 after September 15). The fee for students and postdoctoral fellows is $150 ($175 after September 15). The conference fee includes breakfast and lunch for three days in addition to the conference dinner and other special events. Cancellations received by October 15 will receive full refunds. There will be a $25 processing fee for cancellations received after that date.

The conference rate is $129(single)/$139(double) plus tax per night.
To make reservations, call (800) 874-3516 and request the ICAD (International
Conference on Auditory Display) rate.
The hotel does not provide shuttle service to/from regional airports. They
suggest arranging transport on the Santa Clara Airporter. The fare from
San Francisco International Airport is $17 one-way. You can call the shuttle
service at (415) 771-7710 to arrange transport in advance, or simply call
the shuttle upon arriving at the airport.
Students interested in less expensive accommodations may want to stay at
the nearby Mermaid Inn for $64 (assuming double occupancy) a night. The
hotel information is:
Mermaid Inn
727 El Camino Real
Menlo Park, CA 94025
(415) 323-9481
It is possible to fly into San Jose airport as Palo Alto is about equidistant
from SF and SJ airports. SJ is also somewhat more convenient as it's smaller.
However, in general the cheapest airfares probably go through San Francisco.
NOTE: Since the conference takes place over U.S. Election Day, U.S. participants will want to obtain absentee ballots.

The Santa Fe Institute
The focus of the Santa Fe Institute is research on complex systems.
This work encompasses an extraordinary range of topics normally studied
in seemingly disparate fields. Natural systems displaying complex adaptive
behavior range upwards from DNA through cells and evolutionary systems
to human societies. The dynamics of complex systems are difficult to comprehend
and even more difficult to communicate. Data visualization--and more recently
data sonification--are emerging as crucial tools for the comprehension
and communication of complex systems data.
Xerox Palo Alto Research Center
The Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) performs pioneering research
that covers a broad spectrum of research fields ranging from electronic
materials and device research through computer-based systems and software,
to research into work practices and technologies in use. The center's mission
is to pursue those technologies that relate to Xerox's current and emerging
businesses.
Located in the Stanford University Industrial Park in the heart of Silicon
Valley, PARC was charged upon its founding in 1970 to be the "architect
of the information age." Since then it has delivered into use such
significant pieces of the current information infrastructure as laser printers,
graphical user interfaces, object-oriented programming languages, and Ethernet
local area networks. PARC has contributed to user interfaces, electronic
components, embedded software and architectures for each new line of Xerox
copiers, printers, and systems reprographics products.
