This is an outline schedule of talks and demonstrations for #SxSC. Anyone attending is invited to talk and demo their work.<\/p>\n

10.30am<\/p>\n

Composer Benjamin Mawson investigates ways to use space as an expressive layer in studio-produced music. Developer Enrique Tomas has built a tool using GPS to interpret a listener\u2019s position and movement in order to create a unique way of hearing music. Musical compositions can now be spread across a landscape, mapped to a territory. Music is created which can now exist in a dialogue \u2013 at times symbiotic at others contradictory \u2013 with its physical surroundings.<\/p>\n

11am<\/p>\n

Alain Renaud will be talking about distributed music. Alain\u2019s research explores high-speed networks as a medium for developing real time interactive performances in a multiplicity of spaces. Alain\u2019s background in is music production and sound engineering. He is a senior lecturer in Music and Audio Technology at Bournemouth University. His research focuses on the development of networked music performance systems with an emphasis on the creation of strategies to interact over a network musically and the notion of shared networked acoustic spaces http:\/\/alainrenaud.net<\/a><\/p>\n

11.30am<\/p>\n

Our keynote speaker will be Alan Patrick who is the co-founder of Broadsight:<\/p>\n

Broadsight focuses on market intelligence, strategy and systems development across the multi-media ecosystem. Broadsight has consulted to many of the major digital-media players in Europe and has helped start or turn around a number of startups. They have also developed innovative technology for a number of clients. Alan also writes the well regarded Broadstuff blog on technology development (www.broadstuff.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The topic of Alan\u2019s talk is \u201cTechnology Hype and Bubbles \u2013 Why do they Exist?\u201d<\/p>\n

He will deal with Creative Destruction, the role of bubbles in these cycles, and the role of hype in creating bubbles \u2013 and what you need to look for to understand where you are in the cycle. Alan will examine how this is applied to (complicates) technology prediction, going through various prediction models and laws. He has also developed the \u2018Broadstuff Bubble-o-Meter\u2019 tracking the current Social Media \u00a0bubble\u2019s evolution, which has been picked up by other technology blogs and the Guardian.<\/p>\n

12.30pm<\/p>\n

Ajay Chakravarthy and Paul Walland will demonstrate a new way of viewing digitised 3D objects from cultural heritage collections. They will talk about some of the cool applications they see for this kind of virtual model representation. Ajay is a researcher at ITI, expert in knowledge modelling using Semantic Web. He has a PhD from Sheffield in knowledge acquisition, has worked on various media projects at ITI among other things. Paul is a manager at IT Innovation responsible for media-based collaborative projects and social networking.<\/p>\n

1:00pm<\/p>\n

Adam Procter will be talking about the growing way we interact with social networks via “streams” and the emerging conversation economy.\u00a0http:\/\/www.adamprocter.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n

1.30pm<\/p>\n

Peter Bennett will talk about Chronotape which is a tangible timeline for family history research, developed as part of the PATINA project within the Bristol Interaction & Graphics group. The chronotape explores the concept of using a tangible interface to control time, effectively turning the abstract concept of time into something that can be held and controlled.<\/p>\n

2pm<\/p>\n

John Ribbins from Roll7 will be talking about “Serious Games and Fun”. He will also be demoing some new Roll7 games http:\/\/roll7.blogspot.co.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n

2.15pm<\/p>\n

The Re-reading the British Memorial project is investigating the potential for using a variety of technologies for the recording, interpreting and sharing of data about church memorials in the UK. Find out about them at: http:\/\/ourti.orgGareth and Nicole Beale will be talking about the project and demonstrating Highlight based Reflectance Transformation Imaging capture using Digital SLR cameras and RTI with an iPhone Camera.<\/p>\n

2.30pm<\/p>\n

James Miles will outline the use of Reflectance Transformation Imaging \u2013 a simple and cheap surface imaging tool \u2013 on existing three dimensional datasets in a virtual environment. He will show some worked examples, and evaluate the potential of the methodology within cultural heritage. He will focus on comparing the different datasets and will highlight the surface detail that could be overlooked through conventional means of visualisation.<\/p>\n

2.45pm<\/p>\n

The Tsinghua-Southampton exchange program was set up to serve as a platform for young researchers to exchange ideas on key issues within Web Science. The chosen project was to analyse, extract and visualise how the young perceived the world using online data. As part of the Visualisation team Christopher Hughes will be demonstrating the chosen tools that were used to represent the data, highlighting some key issues and concerns.<\/p>\n

3:00pm<\/p>\n

Martin Warne and Elliot Salisbury will be talking about their mobile audio D-Touch projects.<\/p>\n

4pm<\/p>\n

Close \u2013 Diverse musical interludes<\/p>\n

Demonstrations will also be taking place throughout the day<\/h3>\n
