Guest Editors' Introduction: An Introduction to Interactive Sonification
The research field of sonification, a subset of the topic of auditory display, has developed rapidly in recent decades. It brings together interests from the areas of data mining, exploratory data analysis, human-computer interfaces, and computer music. Sonification presents information by using sound (particularly nonspeech), so that the user of an auditory display obtains a deeper understanding of the data or processes under investigation by listening.

Sonic interaction design: sound, information and experience
Sonic Interaction Design (SID) is an emerging field that is positioned at the intersection of auditory display, ubiquitous computing, interaction design, and interactive arts. SID can be used to describe practice and inquiry into any of various roles that sound may play in the interaction loop between users and artifacts, services, or environments, in applications that range from the critical functionality of an alarm, to the artistic significance of a musical creation. This field is devoted to the privileged role the auditory channel can assume in exploiting the convergence of computing, communication, and interactive technologies. An over-emphasis on visual displays has constrained the development of interactive systems that are capable of making more appropriate use of the auditory modality. Today the ubiquity of computing and communication resources allows us to think about sounds in a proactive way. This workshop puts a spotlight on such issues in the context of the emerging domain of SID.

On the derivatives of second and third degree rational Bézier curves
In this note, an estimate of Floater on the derivatives of rational Bezier curves is improved when the degree of the curve is 2 or 3.

A new insight into the Gn continuity of polynomial surfaces
Abstract A theorem of Degen describes the structure of G 1 and G 2 connection between two polynomial surfaces. This is based on common vector polynomials and an irreducibility condition of one of these vector functions related to the common boundary. In this paper Degen's results are reformulated, a new proof and a new interpretation is given which makes it possible to generalize the previous results to G n continuity. Surprisingly, in case of G n continuity, there is no need to add further conditions than for the G 1 G 2 cases, still exists a common G n continuous polynomial virtual patch with polynomial reparametrizations.
