Abstract: Fifty years of computer music research has established a wide range of techniques and tools. Implementing all of these within a single application is impractical, yet each task might require a different selection to be applied. Therefor, the sharing of structured information between distinct applications becomes a key challenge for computer music as a field. This challenge is further complicated by real-time and user-interface requirements. In response, we propose a new distributed environment for computer music.

Bio: Robert Shelton is a final year PhD student in Department of Computer Science at the University of Melbourne. His current research interests focus on problems in programming language implementation (lock-free concurrency control, incremental analysis), computer supported collaborative work (user interface, semantics, semiotics) and computer music.
