This meeting report gives an overview of the DAFx 2019 conference held in September 2019 at Birmingham City University, Birmingham, UK. The conference had the same theme as this special issue: digital audio effects. In total, 51 papers were presented at DAFx 2019 either in oral or in poster sessions. The conference had 157 delegates, almost half from industry and the rest from universities around the world. As the number of submissions and participants remains sufficiently high, it is planned that the DAFx conference series will be continued every autumn.

In 2016, for the first time, the Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) and the Society for the Advancement of the Science of Digital Games (SASDG) partnered and decided to jointly host an unprecedented gathering of game-related researchers. The result was the largest ever academic conference on games research: the 1st JOINT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF DIGRA AND FDG.

The 2017 Digital Games Research Association International Conference (DiGRA 2017) was held in Melbourne, 3-6 July 2017. Swinburne University of Technology, RMIT University and The University of Melbourne joined together to host the conference.The DiGRA International Conference series offers a venue for research from all disciplines to present and discuss games-related research. Founded in 2003, DiGRA is the premiere non-profit international association for academics and professionals who research both digital and analogue games and associated phenomena. Since its beginnings, it has encouraged high-quality research on games, and promotes collaboration and dissemination of work by its members.

This special issue of the Transactions of the Digital Games Research Association Journal represent approaches by contemporary Australian scholars in the study of digital games. They responded to the provocation ‘What is Game Studies in Australia?’ the topic of the inaugural conference of the Digital Games Research Association Australia (DiGRAA). This event, held on 17th of June 2014, was a meeting of academic researchers, critics, designers, developers, and artists focused on developing a discussion of what game studies ‘is’ in Australia. The conference focused special attentiveness both to diversity and any particular regional issues that delegates chose to address. These articles illustrate the breadth and variety of approaches which were discussed.

One of the aims of the Transactions of the Digital Games Research Association (ToDiGRA) is to collect the best received work presented at the DiGRA conferences. This special issue collects some of the highlights from the 2015 edition of the DiGRA conference held in Lüneburg, Germany(May 14-17). The conference theme of “Diversity of play: Games – Cultures – Identities” invited submissions that reflected upon the diversityof games and gaming and this compilation features some of the bestwork on that. As usual, the invited keynote speeches are not an integral part of the Transactions. We did however publish the keynotes in a separate open access publication that you might want to read in parallel with the peer-reviewed articles in this issue. You can find the booklet with the title “Diversity of Play” (ed Mathias Fuchs) published by meson press in Lüneburg available for free download at: http://meson.press/books/diversity-of-play/

Theory and Applications of Models of Computation (TAMC) is an international conference series with an interdisciplinary character bringing together researchers working in computer science, mathematics (especially logic) and the physical sciences. This interdisciplinary approach, with an emphasis on the theory of computation in a broad sense, gives the series its special appeal within China and internationally. At a time when the pressures are increasingly towards narrowly ad hoc research, and scientific fragmentation, meetings that reassert the importance of theory, fundamental concepts and a wider perspective have an important role to play.

D B Solovev 1,2 1 Far Eastern Federal University, Vladivostok, Russia 2 Vladivostok Branch of Russian Customs Academy, Vladivostok, Russia E-mail: [email protected] The special issue Journal of Physics: Conference Series is entitled ‘International Conference on Automatics and Energy (ICAE 2021)’. Smart technologies and modern innovations in design for control and automation systems of technological processes and objects: prospects and international experience. International Conference on Automatics and Energy (ICAE 2021) is devoted to the discussion of modern achievements and promising research in the sphere of intelligent technologies in solving real, applied problems in various fields of industry and energy policies of different countries. The special issue Journal of Physics: Conference Series (International Conference on Automatics and Energy (ICAE 2021)) is published to support interdisciplinary discussion and publication of research results that generalise research in technical branches of knowledge in higher education institutions, research institutes, large industrial enterprises, research and production associations of the Russian Federation, as well as authors from other countries, and the results of research carried out on the personal initiative of the authors. The main thematic sections of the International Conference on Automatics and Energy (ICAE 2021) include: control systems and technologies for various energy facilities, industrial mechatronic systems and robotics, electric power systems and renewable energy sources, power electronics, electrical machines and electric drives, microprocessor control systems and signal processing, modelling and computer technologies, theory and practice of dynamic measurements, organisational and management solutions for energy and resource conservation. International Conference on Automatics and Energy (ICAE 2021) may be of interest to a wide range of specialists in the field of designing innovative solutions and organisational measures that increase the efficiency of the use of energy technologies in their various manifestations. The issue is also of interest to scientific and engineering personnel engaged in the development, design and calibration of automation devices and control systems for technical electrified systems and facilities, as well as information and measuring instruments for obtaining, measuring and researching information about currents in electrical complexes and systems; and for students and undergraduates studying ‘electrical power engineering and electrical engineering’, ‘automated systems’, ‘control systems in energy technologies’ and postgraduate students in the corresponding branches of study. The Organizing committee conference (ICAE 2021) would like to thank all authors for sharing their research results, insights and conclusions on prospects and challenges modern innovations in design for control and automation systems. List of Organizing Committee are available in this pdf.
