Topics

Proposals describing work in any area of audio engineering and its related arts and sciences will be considered for inclusion in convention sessions. A detailed list of proposed topics is given below.

Submitting a Proposal

Category 1 and 2 proposals are to be submitted electronically to the AES 142nd proposal submission site at www.aes.org/142nd_authors by 2017 January 9. Stop press: The proposal site will remain open through January 15, during which time authors can modify current proposals and submit new ones.

For the complete-manuscript peer-reviewed convention papers (category 1), authors are asked to submit papers of 4–10 pages to the submission site. Papers exceeding 10 pages run the risk of rejection without review. These complete-manuscript papers will be reviewed by at least two experts in the field, and authors will be notified of acceptance by 2017 February 13. Final manuscript with revisions requested by the reviewers have to be submitted before 2017 March 6. If rejected as a convention paper (Cat. 1), the proposal may still be accepted for categories 2 or 3.

Stop press: The final paper deadline has been extended to March 13.

For abstract-precis-reviewed proposals (Cat. 2), a title, 60-to 120-word abstract, and 500- to 750-word précis of the proposed paper must be submitted by 2017 January 9. Authors will be notified of acceptance by 2017 February 6, and the authors must submit their final manuscripts (4 to 10 pages) before 2017 March 6. If rejected from this category, the proposal may be still be accepted as an engineering brief (Cat. 3).

If a paper is longer than 10 pages, the author will be charged a fee of $25 for every page over 10.

For engineering briefs (Cat. 3), authors must supply a short synopsis to www.aes.org/142nd_ebriefs by 2017 March 1 to indicate their desire to present an engineering brief, followed later by an electronic manuscript. Topics for the engineering briefs can be very wide-ranging. Relaxed reviewing of submissions will consider mainly whether they are of interest to AES convention attendees and are not overly commercial. PDF manuscripts of 1–5 pages following the prescribed template must be submitted by 2017 March 27.

Registration

Presenting authors (one per paper for all 3 categories) will be required to pay the full 4-day convention registration fee (member and student member rates are lower than nonmember rates).

Publication in the E-Library

All convention papers will be available in the AES E-Library no earlier than 10 days before the convention starts. All AES members now have free access to the E-Library. Any non-member author paying the non-member price for a four day All Access badge will also be given free access to download the convention papers from the E-Library.

Awards

Presenting authors who are student members and whose convention papers (Cat. 1 or 2) are accepted will be eligible for the Student Paper Award at the 142nd; peer-reviewed Cat. 1 papers are given preference by the award judges.

Presenting authors of accepted Cat. 1 papers will be eligible for the Best Peer-Reviewed Paper Award.

Poster or Lecture

During the online submission process you will be asked to specify whether you prefer to present your paper in a lecture or poster session. Highly detailed papers are better suited to poster sessions, which permit greater interaction between author and audience. The convention committee reserves the right to reassign papers to any session, lecture or poster.

The submission sites, www.aes.org/142nd_authors (Cat. 1 and 2) and www.aes.org/142nd_ebriefs (Cat. 3), will be available by early November.
