A Philosophical Wish List for Research in Music Information Retrieval

Within a framework provided by the traditional trio consisting of metaphysics, epistemology and ethics, a first stab is made at a wish list for MIR-research from a philosophical point of view. Since the tools of MIR are equipped to study language and its use from a purely sonic standpoint, MIR research could result in another revealing revolution within the linguistic turn in philosophy.

“Avoidable rework” is effort spent fixing difficulties with the software that could have been avoided or discovered earlier and less expensively. This definition implies that there is such thing as “unavoidable rework”. Reducing “avoidable rework” is a major source of software productivity improvement and most effort savings from improving software processes, architectures and risk management a...

COTS-Based Systems Top 10 List

I n the January 2001 issue of Computer (pp. 135-137), we published the Software Defect Reduction Top 10 List—one of two foci pursued by the National Science Foundation-sponsored Center for Empirically Based Software Engineering (CeBASE). COTS-based systems (CBS) provide the other CeBASE focus. For our intent, COTS software has the following characteristics: The buyer has no access to the source...

R ecently, a National Science Foundation grant enabled us to establish the Center for Empirically Based Software Engineering. CeBASE seeks to transform software engineering as much as possible from a fad-based practice to an engineering-based practice through derivation, organization, and dissemination of empirical data on software development and evolution phenomenology. The phrase “as much as...
