Promoting Research on Sound

I am promoting the organization of research on sound as a topic within computer science. Sound is already studied within a number of other disciplines as physical acoustics, signal processing, phonology, music, audiology. I believe that computer science can contribute an important new point of view, where sound is understood as a general-purpose communication channel. The new topic should stand roughly parallel to graphics as a topic within computer science.

``The Sound Manifesto'' develops my ideas on the sound topic further.

Archive of Technical Papers

I moderate a new online archive of technical papers on sound established in 2000. The archive is part of the Computing Research Repository (CoRR) supported by the Los Alamos e-Print Archive.

I created this index because I didn't see how to produce a list of all Sound papers through CoRR. Then I learned that I could use the CoRR search service and

1. select "All years" in the time-range choices at the top,
2. select "Subject-class" instead of the default "Author(s)" with the first menu button on the left,
3. specify "Sound" as the particular Subject-class,
4. hit the "Do Search" button,
