Acoustics 2012 - Acoustics 2012 Congress

Papers related to the technical topics listed below are particularly welcome for presentation at the Acoustics 2012 Congress. For each topic, structured sessions will be organised. However, technical papers in all areas of acoustics not directly matching to structured session topics can also be submitted to be included in General sessions.

Abstracts and Full Paper can be submitted through Abstract/Paper Submission Page. Remember that the online opening of the Abstract Submission is October 24, 2011, the deadline of Abstract Submission is November 25, 2011 and the deadline of Full Paper Submission is February 29, 2012.

All registrants for Acoustics 2012 congress, except the accompanying persons, will receive two printed booklets containing all abstracts, a final technical program, and a DVD-Rom that will include all Acoustics 2012 papers and posters.
