Sonification Aesthetics and Listening for Network Situational Awareness
This addresses the challenge of continuous network monitoring for administrators, but appears incremental as it builds on existing sonification concepts.
The paper tackles the problem of designing sonification systems for network administrators to maintain situational awareness, proposing that soundscape-based solutions offer ecological advantages over other designs.
This paper looks at the problem of using sonification to enable network administrators to maintaining situational awareness about their network environment. Network environments generate a lot of data and the need for continuous monitoring means that sonification systems must be designed in such a way as to maximise acceptance while minimising annoyance and listener fatigue. It will be argued that solutions based on the concept of the soundscape offer an ecological advantage over other sonification designs.
