After installing an OS distribution, a computer is generally not yet properly adapted to go into production at the local site. Security policies must be implemented, local services configured, and standard application settings deployed. Solutions to this problem range from unpacking a tar archive in the root directory to sophisticated tools like Cfengine [3]. This paper presents TemplateTree II...

for dissemination) This deliverables provides an overview of the third version of the WSMX implementation prototype for the DIP architecture.

This paper details the motivations, design, and realization of Sustainable, a dynamic, robotic sound installation that employs a generative algorithm for music and sound creation. The piece is comprised of seven autonomous water gong nodes that are networked together by water tubes to distribute water throughout the system. A water resource allocation algorithm guides this distribution process ...

In this paper I shall be addressing some of the more complex issues of developing the technical framework for the permanent urban sound installation GROMA, which incorporates environmental sounds from two partner cities of Cologne, Rotterdam and Liège, combined with ancient texts about urbanisation. This installation has been inaugurated in 2008 at the location of Europe’s largest underground p...

The idea for a sound installation in an art gallery began as a collaboration which aimed to integrate ideas of sound spatialization and the manipulation of spatial perception from an architectural point of view. The challenge was to apply and test concepts common both to space and sound in a way that would fit a selected location. The location chosen for this purpose was Galerie PI, located in ...

This paper describes the development, creation, and deployment of a sound installation entitled Coronium 3500 (Lucie’s Halo), commissioned by the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts. The piece, a 12-channel immersive sound installation driven by solar power, was exhibited as part of the exhibition In the Garden of Sonic Delights from June 7 to November 4, 2014, and again for similar duration...

we report engineering experiences from the critical task of relief well installation under high artesian flow conditions at the downstream toe of the karkheh earth dam, iran. due to the establishment of excessive uplift pressure at the downstream toe of the karkheh dam, installation of a series of new relief wells was considered to permanently relieve part of these pressures. the mentioned upli...

BioRhythm is an interactive bio-feedback installation controlled by the cardiovascular system. Data from a photoplethysmograph (PPG) sensor controls sonification and visualization parameters in real-time. Biological signals are obtained using the techniques of Resonance Theory in Hemodynamics and mapped to audiovisual cues via the Five Element Philosophy. The result is a new media interface uti...
