The UK and Ireland Chapter of IFESS was formed in 2009 to promote the research, application, and understanding of electrical stimulation.

Research into functional electrical stimulation has reached an exciting stage in its development. For example, our understanding of the way in which the central nervous system responds to peripheral stimulation has developed with new imaging and other technologies. There have also been significant technical advances in FES technologies for both clinical and sporting applications. In the clinical arena, the recent publication by NICE of guidelines supporting the use of FES for drop foot reflects the growing strength of the evidence base.

Who is the conference for?

This conference will provide an opportunity for researchers and other interested parties to meet and share the latest research on FES. The first day of the conference will have a clinical focus and we particularly encourage clinicians who use FES to attend.

Papers to be presented may include the latest work in the following areas:

* Upper and lower extremity FES
* Therapeutic electrical stimulation
* Neuromodulation
* Human-Computer-Interfaces
* FES for respiration/blood pressure control
* FES for bladder/bowel/sexual function
* Control strategies
* Physiological effects of electrical stimulation on muscle and nerve
* Sensory neuroprostheses (hearing, vision)
* FES Sports
* Clinical implementation of FES devices
* Stimulation of denevated muscle
* User involvement in FES research

Deadlines
2nd announcement and first call for abstracts: 14th September 2009
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 30th November 2009

The ACCU Conference has more benefits to offer than any rival event, and all for less!

At the ACCU conference you will hear about the new C++ standard; software patterns; agile software development; Java, Python, Erlang, and other languages; software architecture and design; and much more!

The ACCU conference provides opportunities not just to hear the latest thinking from leading industry figures but engage in debate and discussion with some of the most renown experts in the field.

Keynote speakers at ACCU 2010:
* Jeff Sutherland, co-inventor of Scrum
* James Bach, well known tester and author of "Lessons Learned in Software Testing"
* Dan North, Agile coach, software developer and the inventor of Behaviour Driven Development
* Russel Winder, consultant, author, and expert in parallel and distributed systems.

Who should attend?

* Software developers
* Software project managers
* Anyone looking to implement Agile software development in their organization
* Anyone interested in introducing new technologies in their organization

One of the key things that makes the the ACCU conference stand out with respect to other events is the community. There is a particular atmosphere that you don't find elsewhere, and an openness both within the sessions and outside them. You are generally more likely to end up talking to complete strangers and learning from them than any other conference. The ACCU programme is great, but the spaces between the sessions are just as great.

If you try it once, you'll want to come back again and again!

A key feature of the conversation is the presence of public, private and academic sector leaders sharing in this strategic information exchange.

Rather than have the usual podium presentations, a group of five (5) regional business leaders will be invited on stage and be seated in comfortable armchairs and will interact in a free flow format with the participants in a conversation and interaction style. A moderator will also be present on stage and in the audience to control flow and timing.

Each session lasting no more than 30 minutes will deal with a specific topic. In a series of interviews each presenter will start by giving a five-minute account of their own personal experience and lessons learnt over the years on the particular subject matter. This is then followed by moderated question and answer in a conversion interaction style.

The Story will be a celebration of everything that is wonderful, inspiring and awesome about stories, in whatever medium possible. We’re hoping to have stories that are written, spoken, played, described, enacted, whispered, projected, orchestrated, performed, printed – whatever form stories come in, we hope to have them here.

The Story is not about theories of stories, or making money from stories, but about the sheer visceral pleasure of telling a story. Whether it is in a game, a movie, a book, or a pub, we’ve all heard or told or been part of stories that have made us gasp, cry or just laugh.

There have never been so many stories, never so many ways to tell them. The Story will be a celebration of just a small sample of them.

"Bigger than Words, Wider than Pictures": Noise, Affect, Politics Organising Committee: Dr Michael Goddard, Dr Benjamin Halligan and Professor David Sanjek

Noise Annoys. Is it not a banal fact of modern, urban existence that one person's preferred sonic environment is another's irritating, unwelcome noise - whether in the high-rise apartment, on public transport or the street, or almost anywhere else?

The contingent soundscape of jack-hammers and pneumatic drills, mobile phone chatter, car sirens and alarms, sound leakage from nightclubs and bars and - moving into the suburbs - lawn-mowers and amateur renovation projects, neighbouring kids and dogs, represents a near-constant aural assault.

As a pollutant, noise can legally attain noxious levels; it is both potentially biologically harmful and psychologically detrimental. But what exactly is noise and what conditions these relative thresholds in which sound crosses over into noise? Or are these more organised and polite sonic phenomena merely varieties of noise that have been tamed and civilised, and yet still contain kernels of the chaotic, anomalous disturbance of primordial noise?

As a radical free agent, how is noise channelled, neutralised or enhanced in emergent cityscapes? As a consumable, how is noise - or lack of noise - commodified?

Such questions are particularly applicable to contemporary forms of music which, based as they are on a variety of noise-making technical machines, necessarily exist in the interface between chaotic, unpredictable noise and the organised and blended sounds of music and speech.

Does modern noise seek to lead us to new, post-secular inscapes (as with psychedelia and shoegazer), or defy the lulling noisescapes of processed background muzak with punitive blasts of disorientating, disorderly noise? And why the cult of noise - in term of both volume and dissonance - in which low cultural practices (metal, moshing) meet those of the avant-garde (atonalism, transcendentalism)?

This conference seeks to address the contemporary phenomenon of noise in all its dimensions: cultural, political, territorial, philosophical, physiological, subversive and military, and as anomalous to sound, speech, musicality and information. Possible topics include but are not limited to:

Psychedelic and Neo-Psychedelic Musics
Punk and Post-Punk Musics
Experimental Musics from Avant-Classical to Digital Noise / Raw Data Industrial Musics and Cultures
Krautrock and German Noise
Shoegazer, Nu-Gaze and Post-Rock
Noise as Cultural Anomaly
Noise, Chaos and Order
Noise and architectural planning
Noise and digital compression
Noise Scenes from No Wave to Japan-Noise
Noise and electronic music pioneers (Delia Derbyshire, Varèse, Stockhausen) Noise and Territory
Sonic Warfare
Noise and Urban Environments / "Noise pollution"
Noise and Subjectivation
Sonic Ecologies
"White Noise"
Noise and Political Subversion
Noise and hearing impairment / deafness
Psychic / silent noise
Noise and mixing, particularly in nightclub environments
Noise in Cinema, Video and Sound Art
Noise, Appropriation and Recombination
Noise and Affect

The conference will be organised by the Centre for Communication, Cultural & Media Studies at the University of Salford in co-operation with Islington Mill, Salford and will take place from the 1-3rd of July and will include both an academic conference and noise gigs featuring amongst other groups, The Telescopes and Factory Star and other special guests tbc.

Confirmed keynote speakers include rock historian Clinton Heylin, author of From the Velvets to the Voidoids and numerous other works on (post)punk and popular music, Stephen Lawrie of The Telescopes, and Paul Hegarty, author of the recent Noise/Music. In addition to conventional papers, noise, sound and video art proposals are also welcome.

To participate in the conference please send a 400 word abstract and biographical note to Michael Goddard, m.n.goddard@salford.ac.uk and Benjamin Halligan, b.halligan@salford.ac.uk by 28 February 2010.
