46th Conference

AES 46th International Conference
Dates: June 14-16, 2012
Location: Denver, CO, USA
Chair: Jeff M. Smith

The AES 46th International Conference is dedicated to exploring advances in the field of Audio Forensics by providing a platform for research related to the forensic application of speech/signal processing, acoustical analyses, audio authentication, and the examination of methodologies and best practices. A special focus will be made on the practice of audio forensics as a whole of its parts: the recording, recovery, analysis, and interpretation of audio evidence.

Tutorials and workshops will compliment the conference papers sessions by providing panel presentations and lectures led by experts in the field. These events will provide in-depth yet practical discussions related to forensic audio analysis while demonstrating the application of science in real world scenarios. Authors are also encouraged to submit proposals for workshops and tutorials.

The Committee also invites vendors with products related to the forensic analysis of audio to participate in the 46th Conference Exhibition which will include tabletop demonstration as well as organized presentations during conference proceedings.
