Abstract
CLOSe to the edge?
Advanced objectoriented techniques in the representation of musical knowledge
Peter Desain, Henkjan Honing
The modeling of knowledge about musical expression asks for quite some
flexibility during the design process and the availability of highlevel
abstractions to represent the complex concepts and their interactions in
this domain successfully. One would expect, because of the enthusiastic
claims made in the literature on objectoriented programming, that such
an approach would be ideal for this task. This paper describes some aspects
of CLOS, an modern objectoriented language that indeed provides some
advanced construct that proved useful in the design and maintenance of a
complex system for the manipulation of expression in music. However, some
of the mechanisms should be used with care to stay far from the edge
beyond which programs become too complex to grasp.
