Organizing Committee
This 3-day conference aims to bring audio and system engineers together for the discussion of new trends in audio engineering for mobile and handheld devices. State-of-art handheld devices need high-quality sound and powerful functionality in small packages. Whereas the size of audio components has shrunk along with handheld devices, the importance of audio functionality has grown in the new generation of handheld devices. Recently, audio features and performance have become a major marketing feature of wireless handsets. On the other hand, portable music players have evolved into powerful multimedia devices with video and wireless-network capabilities.

This conference will be a timely discussion of the trends and future of the audio technologies for handheld devices. The issues to be discussed include new trends in audio coding, audio signal processing, synthetic audio, wireless delivery of audio, power-efficient audio technology, and implementation of audio subsystems for handheld devices. The 34th Conference Committee invites the submission of technical papers for presentation at the conference in 2008 in Jeju Island in Korea.
