The speed of global change keeps increasing bringing up dramatic turn over of species assemblages. This can lead to modified ecosystem functions such as changes in pollination rates or seed dispersion. These functions require close monitoring. Monitoring methods based on human observation require a lot of workforce and are usually limited in their spatiotemporal and species coverage. Progress in computing power and data storage fostered the emergence of novel autonomous sampling methods (e.g. metabarcoding, remote sensing, camera traps or acoustic monitoring). The use of acoustic monitoring appears as a convenient solution for an autonomous and automatic monitoring of species dynamics and activity in various ecosystems. In this talk, I present current and possible future possibilities of this type of monitoring to access species interactions and ecosystem functions. My aim is to understand and model the impact of global change through sound. Using data derived from acoustics is expected to improve our predictions of spatiotemporal species dynamics in various ecosystems.
Bio: I am a researcher in Ecoacoustics. My work consists in studying sounds emanating from ecosystems, communities and populations in order to understand their diversity and evolution and interpreting ecological dynamics and functioning. I strive to understand how the biotic and abiotic environment affect acoustic signaling in animals. I am particularly interested in the dynamics of acoustic communities and the effect of social interactions on acoustic signals. I am currently conducting two main lines of research: developing methods of passive acoustic monitoring in various environments (including freshwater) and understanding the role of socially mediated plasticity in rapid adaptation and reproductive isolation.
Emerging topics in audio signal processing: ecoacoustics, urban acoustics, industrial acoustics, medical acoustics
Ethology, ecology, urban geography, industrial engineering, and biomedical engineering are all disciplines that value sound as information. Long limited to speech and music signals alone, audio signal processing is finding compelling applications for instrumentation in these disciplines. In turn, it is fueled by new challenges in fundamental research. This is evidenced, among other things, by increasingly autonomous and adaptive in situ acoustic sensors; a revival of statistical and geometric methods for time-frequency; and the invention of analysis and synthesis techniques based on unsupervised or minimally supervised learning.
It is in this context that we intend to provide a progress report on work on sounds other than speech and music. These « emerging topics » include, but are not limited to, ecoacoustics, urban acoustics, industrial acoustics, and medical acoustics. The invited speakers will provide an overview of the main issues inherent in these fields while striving to be accessible to the IASIS community as a whole. Furthermore, the call for talks and posters will allow for more specific areas of ongoing research to be addressed.

Studies about the *Soundscape* started in the sixties with the work of Murray Schafer originally developed in a musical frame. Debates during 50 years converge to a chaired definition of this concept in 2014. In this presentation, I will de

Sound design is a relatively recent field of design, based on an approach that aims to consider the sound component right from the design phase of an object in order to make an intention audible; or, to put it another way, and to quote Loui
