The cm working group on acoustics hasbeen meeting every other year since 1970.Of the intergovernmental organizations, twoshould be mentioned. The International CivilAviationOrganization (lCAO) with headquarters inMontreal, Canada has responsibility for aviationregulations. ICAO is very much involved with aircraftnoise. The NorthAtlanticTreaty Organization(NATO) with headquarters in Brussels, Belgium hasa Scientific Affairs Division with a Committee onthe Challenges of Modern Society (CCMS).NATO/CCMS sponsors symposia from time to timeon noise prediction, modeling and effects.Table 2.

Today, nearly a half-century after the establishmentof the ICA, acoustics is no longer recognizedas an integral sub-field of physics. Instructionin acoustics is most often given today by the engineeringdepartments of the world's universities. Theacademics concerned with theoretical and appliedmechanics consider acoustics and vibrations to bepart of their discipline. Hence, IUPAP and IUTAMare in a competitive situation. The situation is, indeed,comparable to the competition on a nationalscale that exists between the Acoustical Society ofAmerica (ASA) and the American Society of MechanicalEngineers (ASME). Both organizationshave members who are interested in acoustics andPublicationsThis section describes those publications with technicalarticles on acoustics and noise control whichconstitute the current literature of the field. Theprincipal concern is with international refereedjournals.By international is meant those journals thathave a significant circulation outside the country oforigin. There are two kinds of journals: those publishedby not-for-profit professional societies andthose published by for-profit commercial organizations.It should be pointed out that most professionalsocieties have one or more publications. Exceptwhen a professional society has a significant numberof foreign members, most of the circulation of thesociety's publications is likely to be within the countryin which its headquarters is located. For thisreason, publications of professional societies arelisted only when they are published in the Englishlanguage, and when it is known that the foreigncirculation is more than a few hundred copies.The most important journals and publications inacoustics and noise control are listed in Tables 2, 3and 4. The technical literature published outside theUSA is controlled to a far greater extent by for-profitcommercial publishers. These publishers are unlikelyto be affiliated with or to represent a not-forprofitsociety of professionals.Acoustics is a broadly inter-disciplinary subject.Technical articles appear from time to time on topicsrelated to acoustics and noise control in journals ofmechanical, electrical, and civil engineering, as wellas the journals of other fields. No attempt has beenmade here to include these occasional publicationsin the literature of acoustics and noise control.In addition to the technical articles appearing in18NoiselNews International1996 March

It should be emphasizedthat there is a sizeable literature in languages otherthan English. Of particular importance is the periodicalLdrmbekampfung in the German language.In addition to the literature appearing in periodicals,there is an enormous number of paperspublished in the proceedings of conferences. Mostof these papers are unrefereed.International ConferencesAlmost all of the Member Societies of InternationalINCE (see listing on page 2 of this magazine) sponsormeetings for their members, usually at least once ayear. The World Conference Calendar has announcementsof many of these meetings, particularlythe ones that have a significant noise content.
