the Member Society meetings. These proceedingsform an important part of the literature of the field.Some of the larger conferences in acoustics areventures by for-profit organizations, but none havesurvived in the field of noise control engineering.There are a number of specialized courses and seminarsoffered by commercial organizations on noiseand noise-related topics, but no major conferences(more than 100 attendees) other than those organizedby not-for-profit organizations.The international conferences in acoustics andnoise control are organized by four organizations atthe present time:• International Commission on Acoustics (ICA)• International Institute of Noise Control Engineering(I-INCE)• International Organization AgainstNoise (AICB)• International Commission on Biological Effectsof Noise (ICBEN)The congresses organized by the ICBEN and AICBhave been mentioned earlier in this article. ICA hasbeen organizing International Congresses on Acousticsevery third year since 1953 (see Table 1). InternationalINCE has been organizing INTER-NOISETable 5.

The ACTIVE 95 Proceedings are AvailableACTIVE 95, the 1995 International Symposium on Active Control of Sound andVibration, was held in Newport Beach, California, USA on 1995 July 06-08. Morethan 325 engineers and others interested in active control of sound and vibrationattended thethree-day meeting. TheSymposium featured six plenary session papersthat, together with 121 invited and contributed papers, appear in a 1400-pageProceedings. ACflVE 95 was a follow-on to the two meetings on Active Controlof Sound and Vibration held in Blacksburg, Virginia in 1991 and 1993, and aSymposium onActive Control of Sound andVibration heldinTokyo, Japanin 1991.Six plenary sessions were held during the Symposium, each devoted to a specialarea of active control. The lead plenary speaker was Professor Christopher R.Fuller, thefounder of themeetings held at theVirginia Polytechnic Institute andStateUniversity in Blacksburg Virginia. His topic was "Active control of coupled wavepropagation and associated power in fluid-filled elastic long pipes." He presentedthe results of a study on the active control of total powerflow in fluid-filled elasticpipes by the use of structurally mounted actuators. Professor Mikio Toyhama ofKogakuin University in Tokyo, Japan was the second plenary speaker. In hispresentation. titled "Room transfer functions and sound field control," he reviewedthe nature of transfer functions in a reverberant space, and described the process ofinverse filtering and its use in the control of sound fields. The third plenary lecture on active control of road noise insideautomobiles by Professor Robert J. Bernhard of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, USA. Professor HareoHamada of the Tokyo Denki University in Tokyo, Japan presented the fourth plenary lecture. His topic was "Geneticalgorithms usedfor active control of sound - search and identification of noise sources." KamW.Ng,of theOffice of NavalResearch inWashington, DC,USApresented thefifth plenary lecture. He spoke on "Applications of active control," andgavemany examples of control in vehicles andapplications of interest to theU.S. Navy. The final plenary speakerwas ProfessorMendel Kleiner of theChalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. Hispresentation. titled "Review of activesystems in room acoustics and elecroacoustics," covered signal processing techniques for altering the sound field in rooms.In addition to these presentations, nineteen technical sessions devoted to active control were held during the Symposium.The hard-eover proceedings book contains the papers presented at the Symposium, and eachpaper averages morethan 10pagesin length. These full-length papersmake a valuable contribution to thestate of the technology in active controlof sound andvibration.
