Submissions must include a title, 1-2 page description of the work, a link to access the work, and names and one-paragraph biographies of the authors.
  • Workshops: If you are interested in running a tutorial session at the conference, please contact the organizers directly at workshops@webaudioconf2021.com.

 

Note for Poster or Oral presentations: During the online submission process you will be asked to specify whether you prefer to present your paper in a lecture or poster session. Highly detailed papers are better suited to poster sessions, which permit greater interaction between author and audience.
