Christopher Ariza · University of Michigan Library Repository · 2005
Towards developing methods of software comparison and analysis, this article proposes a definition of a computer aided algorithmic composition (CAAC) system and offers seven system descriptors: scale, process-time, idiom-affinity, extensibility, event production, sound source, and user environment.The public internet resource algorithmic.net is introduced, providing a lexicon of systems and research in computer aided algorithmic composition.
