[LAA] LAC 2025: Linux Audio Conference 2025 (Lyon, France, June 28-28, 2025) -- Call for Contributions

[sorry for cross-posting, please distribute widely]

Hi folks,

After a few "quiet" post-covid years, Linux Audio Conference is 
returning in 2025 (https://jimlac25.inria.fr/lac/)! It will take place 
in Lyon (France) on June 26-28, 2025 under the hospices of Inria, INSA 
Lyon, and GRAME-CNCM. It will be preceded by the "Journées de 
l'Informatique Musicale (JIM)" which will also happen in Lyon (June 
23-25, 2025). LAC 2025 welcomes scientific, technical, and artistic 
contributions. It is free and as open as possible. In that regard, we 
slightly adapted the call below to encourage submissions by people 
outside of the academic community. While it is possible to submit 
academic papers (that will be peer-reviewed and published in the LAC 
2025 proceedings), open presentations, not necessarily connected to a 
paper, can be proposed as well.

We look forward to seeing you in Lyon in June!

*Call for Papers / Presentations / Demos / Workshops*

LAC 2025 invites submissions of papers, presentations, and workshops 
addressing all areas of audio processing based on Linux and open source 
software.

All submissions and presentations are in English.

Submissions can focus on technical, artistic, and/or scientific issues 
and target developers and/or users.

- Audio and Music Languages
- Audio and AI

- Audio Plugins
- Drivers, System and Sound Architecture
- Education and E-Learning
- Games
- Interactive Art

*Full Papers*

Full papers must be written and presented in English. The length of 
papers is 4 to 8 pages, with up to 5 keywords, including an abstract of 
up to 200 words. The abstract will be published on the conference 
website once the paper has been accepted. Full papers will be available 
on the website during the conference, and after in the proceedings 
(which will be published with an ISBN number).

All papers are peer reviewed by a committee of experts from different 
disciplines. Reviewers may suggest improvements to the author(s), 
require changes in order to accept the submission, or reject it.

Full papers will be presented during the conference as in-person oral 
presentations.

*Presentations Without an Associated Paper

*LAC 2025 welcomes oral presentations not associated to a peer-reviewed 
paper published in the conference proceedings. Such presentations are 
selected by the scientific committee, based on a abstract up to 500 
words, with up to 5 keywords. No full paper is required in this 
category. The abstract will be available on the website during and after 
the conference.

Presentations in this category have the same format as full paper 
presentations and will hence be presented during the conference as 
in-person oral presentations.

*Demos

*Demos are informal project (e.g., plug-in, software, interface, idea, 
etc.) presentations that will be carried out between the papers 
presentation sessions.

*Workshops

*Workshop presentations (max duration of 2h) should be 1-4 pages, with 
up to 5 keywords, including an abstract of up to 150 words to be 
published on the conference website. Make sure that your proposal 
indicates if participants are expected to have a specific level, if 
there are prerequisites, if you'd like to limit the number of 
participants, if you have specific technical requirements, etc

*Call for Music
*
We invite submissions of electronic, electroacoustic and mixed music as 
well as interactive art installations with an emphasis on open source 
software. A jury will select the compositions and performances to be 
included in the LAC 2025 conference program according to artistic merit 
and technical feasibility. Applicants should expect to perform their 
work themselves and have all resources needed to perform the piece if 
selected (e.g., instruments, props, other performers, etc.).

*Concert Venues*

The LAC 2025 musical program will consist of three concerts, two of 
which will take place at Le Théâtre Astrée 
(https://theatre-astree.univ-lyon1.fr/qui-sommes-nous/), a concert hall 
equipped with an 8.4 sound system. For this venue, we are particularly 
interested in electronic / computer music pieces that will leverage the 
multichannel set up. The third concert will take place at Le Sucre 
(https://le-sucre.eu/le-lieu/), an event that will host live coding sets 
and other performances devised for a night club setting with stereo 
diffusion.
