The workshop will be hosted at the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science of University of Trento.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together academics and industry to investigate and advance the development of Internet of Sounds technologies by using cutting-edge tools and processes. The event will consist of presentations from academics and keynotes, poster presentations, demonstrations, as well as tutorials.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  • Wireless acoustic sensor networks
  • Detection and classification of sounds in acoustic sensor networks
  • Visualization and Sonification of acoustic sensor networks
  • Ecoacoustics
  • Privacy and security in acoustic sensor networks 
  • Smart Musical Instruments
  • Musical haptics for the Internet of Musical Things
  • Participatory live music performances
