Dear list members, please find below the call for papers of the 4th International Symposium on the Internet of Sounds. We are happy to announce that the program will include not only paper, poster, demo and tutorial presentations, but also two satellite events: - the 1st International Workshop on Networked Immersive Audio - the 2nd International Workshop on Multilayer Music Representation and Processing For both of them a separate call for papers will be circulated soon. The conference will be held in hybrid form. Best wishes Luca [Apologies for cross-posting, please distribute] *4th International Symposium on the Internet of Sounds* Pisa, October 26-27, 2023 https://internetofsounds.net/is2_2023/ *Call for papers and demos* We are pleased to invite the community to submit to the 4th International Symposium on the Internet of Sounds (IS2 2023).
