TECHNICAL PROGRAM AND SPECIAL SESSIONS

Contributed papers are welcome in all branches of acoustics. The technical program will consist of lecture and poster sessions. Technical sessions will be scheduled Monday through Friday, 8-12 May 2023. Every effort will be made to schedule contributed abstracts in accordance with author and Organizing Committee preferences. Assignments will consider: a) author preference, b) program balance, and c) Technical Committee instructions. Abstracts will be rejected if they do not comply with the abstract submission guidelines and submission instructions.

HYBRID SPECIAL SESSIONS

Hybrid special sessions include invited papers that will be presented remotely along with in-person presentations.  Remote presentations will be delivered at scheduled times, either live or pre-recorded, via Zoom and projected onto the session room screen.   Remote presenters will be available to answer questions during a standard Q&A period.  In-person attendees may pose questions via a room microphone; remote attendees may pose written questions that are read aloud by the session chair or designated monitor.  All presentations in a hybrid session will be broadcast on zoom and will be accessible to remote attendees.  Registration for remote attendance is limited to the hybrid sessions. Remote registrants will receive links to access all hybrid sessions in April. This program of hybrid sessions is being organized on an experimental basis.

Providing and Responding to Constructive Reviews
Although everyone receives reviews when publishing scientific work sometimes the criticism can be difficult to accept and respond to. Providing constructive criticism can sometimes be as difficult as accepting it. This workshop is intended for writers and reviewers alike and will be held on Wednesday, 10 May, 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. It will give examples of scientific writing submissions and reviewer responses for participants to practice writing reviews and responding to them. Experienced authors, reviewers and editors, including James Lynch, Editor in Chief of ASA, will provide assistance and insight.

  • POMA has new Word and LaTeX manuscript templates and cover pages are now generated automatically at the time of publication.
  • Published papers are being both indexed in scholarly venues and highlighted on Twitter and Facebook.
  • Visit https://pubs.aip.org/asa/poma/pages/manuscript for additional information, including recent changes to the manuscript preparation/submission process.

ASA Socials

The ASA Student Council is hosting three social events during AVE. All three of these events will be held on Monday, 7 December, via Zoom.  The first event is New Student Orientation, which will take place 6:00 p.m.—6:30 p.m. (EST). The next event, the Student Meet and Greet will be held 6:30 p.m.—7:30 p.m. (EST). This event will include Acoustics Trivia in breakout rooms with prizes going to the teams who score the highest. Following trivia, there will be time for student social discussion via their teams' breakout rooms. The final student event is the Student Social, scheduled for 7:30 p.m.—8:30 p.m. (EST). The Student Social will include 1-minute student presentations as a part of the “Poster Slam” as well as an “Introduce Your Pet” event (a separate sign-up email will be sent for these events). Finally, the student social will provide time for students to introduce themselves and get to know one another via breakout rooms. Follow the student twitter throughout the meeting @ASAStudents.

Aviara Trio


The ASA Society Social and Music event
 is scheduled for Wednesday, 9 December at 6:30 p.m. (EST). This live event has two fantastic parts. For the first half hour, The Aviara Trio  will play a short concert of varied and appealing pieces. A brief question and answer segment about their music and instruments is included. For the next hour, join other conference attendees for a session of fun virtual games and for the chance to win prizes! Test your acoustics knowledge. Cheer on your favorite teams. Connect with fellow attendees. Altogether this will be a fun social event after the Plenary and before the amazing ASA Jam.

 

 

The Jam

The Jam Subcommittee planned it all out – the ASA Jam will happen Wednesday night, 8pm -midnight (EST)! There are two online platforms for ASA members to share recorded music that they have written and/or performed in an effort to facilitate virtual interaction and sharing. Any type of music is welcome for the virtual Jam, in video or audio format, from the past or present, provided that it is a work by or includes an ASA member in the recording. The material can be audio or video, but must be submitted in video format (see below). These platforms will be open for submissions and viewing by ASA members only, for an indefinite period.

 

Refer to the ASA Virtual Jam Guide containing:

•Instructions to access the sharing platforms
•FAQ about the virtual music sharing
•Resources for improving the quality of your recordings
•Instructions for formatting videos or audio to video conversion for the platforms.

Please take this opportunity to make recordings or look through your archives for things to share.  We eagerly anticipate hearing many new things that we cannot accommodate or accomplish at the in-person Jam on these new platforms.

PROCEEDINGS OF MEETINGS ON ACOUSTICS (POMA)

All authors of Acoustics Virtually Everywhere meeting papers are encouraged to submit a pdf manuscript to ASA’s
Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics 

Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics (POMA) is an editor-reviewed, open-access, online journal published by the Acoustical Society of America (ASA). Articles originate as papers presented at semiannual ASA meetings or at other cosponsored meetings. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to submit manuscripts to POMA.

Because of rapid editorial processing, POMA offers a timely venue for viewing the most current work in the broad field of acoustics. An associate editor reviews all manuscripts for clarity and correctness, and accepted manuscripts are published online as soon as possible.

Articles are published within volumes tied to ASA meetings and typically organized by primary topical area.

Things to note:

  • No publication fee is charged, but presentation of the paper at the meeting is mandatory.
  • POMA does not have a submission deadline. Authors may submit manuscripts before or after the meeting; note, however, that review will not take place until after the meeting.
  • POMA has Word and LaTeX manuscript templates and cover pages are now generated automatically at the time of publication.
  • Published papers are being both indexed in scholarly venues and highlighted on Twitter and Facebook.

Visit Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics for additional information, including recent changes to the manuscript preparation/submission process.
