Summary: | The Internet of Musical Things is an emerging field of research that intersects the Internet of Things, human-computer interaction, ubiquitous music, artificial intelligence, gaming, virtual reality and participatory art through device multiplicity. This paper introduces a paradigm whereby data points and variable parameters can be strategically mapped or bound using aliases, data types and scoping as an alternative to flat address-structured mapping. The ability to send and/or access complex data types as complete entities rather than lists of parameters promotes data abstraction and encapsulation, allowing greater flexibility through modular architecture as underlying data structures can change during the lifestyle or evolution of a computer based composition. Additionally, the facility to define data accessibility, and the ability to reuse human readable names based on a variable's scope is a common feature of most programming languages. This paradigm has been extended in that scoping a variable can be dynamically bound or addressed to specific objects, class types, devices or globally on an entire network. We will describe the evolution of this paradigm through its development via various project requirements. |
