Student Design Competition
Student Design Competition
The 2013 Student Design Competition will be displayed and judged at the Montréal meeting. This competition is intended to encourage students in the disciplines of architecture, engineering, physics, and other curriculums that involve building design and/or acoustics to express their knowledge of architectural acoustics and noise control in the design of a facility in which acoustical considerations are of significant importance. The competition will be a poster session.
Entries may be submitted by individual students of by teams of a maximum of three students. Undergraduate and graduate students from all countries are encouraged to participate. Students must be enrolled in either the fall term of 2012 or the spring term of 2013 (or equivalent if a particular school does not operate on a spring and fall term basis) to be eligible for the competition. It is not necessary to attend the Montréal meeting to participate in the competition although attending the meeting is encouraged.
All competition entries will respond to a design scenario that will be announced by approximately 1 November 2012. Information about the design scenario and registration for the competition will be available on the website of the Newman Fund, www.newmanfund.org. Additional information may be obtained by contacting Bob Coffeen, coffeen@ku.edu. The Student Design Competition is sponsored by the ASA Technical Committee on Architectural Acoustics, with support from the Wenger Foundation, the Robert Bradford Newman Student Award Fund, and the National Council of Acoustical Consultants.
Open Meetings of Technical Committees
Technical Committees of the Acoustical Society of America will hold open meetings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings at the Palais des congrès. These are working, collegial meetings. Plans for future activities in the ASA's 13 technical fields are discussed at these meetings. All meeting participants are cordially invited to attend these meetings and to participate actively in the discussions. Times and rooms for each Committee meeting are given in the schedule.
Itinerary Planner and Mobile App
An itinerary planner is available for the ICA 2013 Montreal. Instructions for use of the Itinerary Planner can be found online. A mobile app for the meeting will also available.
Presentation Management System
ICA 2013 will make use of a presentation management system to facilitate the audio-visual operations for the technical program. In the months before the meeting, a website will be made available for authors to upload their presentations. During the ICA 2013 meeting, authors will be able to upload their presentations from their laptops (PC or Mac), CD ROM, or USB in the Audio/Visual Preview room 523ab. Authors will be able to review and to make changes to their presentation up until shortly before the start of the sessions in which their presentations are scheduled. Authors will not be able to use their personal laptops for their presentations. Use of the presentation management system eliminates the disruption caused by switching computers in the middle of a session. Similarly, authors will not be able to upload their presentations from a memory stick during their technical session. Please refer to the Guidelines for Preparing Files for Computer Projection and Use of the Presentation Management System that can be found at the ASA Meetings page.
Proceedings of ICA 2013
The Proceedings of ICA 2013 will be published as a separate volume of the online journal Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics (POMA). This is an open access journal, so that its articles are available in pdf format without charge to anyone in the world for downloading. Authors who have had their abstracts accepted for inclusion in the technical program will be invited to prepare a manuscript that will appear in POMA. Deadline for submission of manuscripts is 22 January 2013. The POMA online site for submission of papers and the format requirements will be provided in the authors’ invitation letters. Further information regarding POMA can be found at the site http://asadl.org/poma/.
