We are very excited to announce the first competition for SoundSoftware.ac.uk prizes for reproducibility in audio and music research. Our goal is to promote the development and release of sustainable and reusable software and datasets alongside published research.

In a few of our recent papers and presentations we've seen that much audio and music research work is published without the accompanying software implementations. One reason is a lack of self-confidence - the fear that one's code is not good enough to share. (You can read more about this in our ICASSP 2012 paper, Towards Software Reuse in Audio and Music Research and in the Institute's post Haters Gonna Hate - why you shouldn't be ashamed of releasing your code). We believe that one way of countering this fear is to promote the idea that sharing is a worthwhile goal in itself.

The SoundSoftware project — a UK based project aiming towards software sustainability in the Audio and Music Research community — is organising a one day workshop on "Software and Data for Audio and Music Research". The aim of this workshop is to discuss issues such as robust software development for audio and music research, reproducible research, management of research data, and open access.
