Hi All,

I thought I'd mention that my PhD thesis, "Extensible Computer Music
Systems" is available online at:

http://eprints.maynoothuniversity.ie/7554/

That link may also be found through my website:

http://kunstmusik.com/2016/11/29/extensible-computer-music-systems-phd-thesis-available-online/

The first chapter covers a historical view of Csound's evolution from
the perspective of engine and language developments.  (I discussed a
bit of this at the recent Csound 30 conference.)  The second chapter
covers changes in Csound 6 (type system, arrays, function-call syntax,
runtime type identification) and Csound 7 (parser3, explicit types,
user-defined types (structs), new-style UDOs). The third chapter
covers work done for moving Csound to new platforms (Android, iOS,
Web).  Chapter 4 covers Blue and modular software development, and
chapter 5 covers two Clojure music libraries, Pink and Score.

The first three chapters and the conclusion may be of most interest to
the Csound community.  It should explain the limitations found when
trying to add things like user-defined types (i.e., how single-letters
to denote variable types don't scale easily) and how that motivated
explicit-types and new-style UDOs.  The latter two chapters cover
other areas of extensibility and software design that contribute to
the larger goals of the thesis in looking at how extensibility
contributes to music software enduring in time (and consequently our
own works).

All best!
steven

Thanks Victor!

Also, out of the interest of disclosure, Victor was my advisor for the
PhD. I am indebted to him for all the guidance!

Thanks all!

Regarding PhD Syndrome, I think I did have to take a break for a bit
from Csound work to catch up on other projects and life in general
this year. I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. :)  Once
I can get Visual Studio going I think it'll be easier for me to work
on the codebase more actively again.  Luckily Csound's code is in a
good place and doesn't depend upon one person, as evidenced by John,
Victor, Michael, and others doing so much to move Csound forward this
year.  I imagine 2017 should bring some interesting new ways to use
Csound. :)

Thanks for your dissertation!

I have downloaded it, but I haven't read it all. So far, I agree with
your ideas about extensibility and the relationship of code to music
notation.

I think that getting computer music artists and developers all on the
same page with respect to backwards compatibility, cross platform, and
at least some formal or informal standards is vital to keep the field
moving ahead in the years to come.

Best,
Mike

Many thanks for sharing the thesis, this is a large work, with many topics that are of great interest.

All the best,
