LINCOLN WARE RIDDLE

Pure riddle

A small set of extensions to the PureData architecture and to its external API is proposed, which will facilitate the creation of audio feature detectors (pitch followers, beat trackers, onset detectors, etc.) as Pd patches. An experimental implementation is discussed, and two application examples are demonstrated.

Database Component Ware

Database modeling is still a job of an artisan. Due to this approach database schemata evolve by growth without any evolution plan. Finally, they cannot be examined, surveyed, consistently extended or analyzed. Querying and maintenance become very difficult. Distribution of database fragments becomes a performance bottleneck. Currently, databases evolve to huge databases. Their development must...

Internet ware cloud computing: Challenges

After decades of engineering development and infrastructural investment, Internet connections have become commodity product in many countries, and Internet scale “cloud computing” has started to compete with traditional software business through its technological advantages and economy of scale. Cloud computing is a promising enabling technology of Internet ware Cloud Computing is termed as the...

Lincoln Sea and Nares Strait

A winter phenomenon of ice break-up takes place in Lincoln Sea every year. A previous study based on ERS-1 SAR data has been resumed based on Radarsat data that is briefly reported here. The study of two winters, 1996-1997 and 1997-1998, is supported by wind data. It is found that the ice motion in the area often is driven by wind but also that it is seriously influenced by blocking at the entr...
