A Language and Virtual Machine for Concurrent Object-Oriented Programming

This thesis proposes to develop a pure object-oriented prototype-based programming language and an accompanying virtual machine. The developed language and infrastructure will be designed to operate on multicore and multiple-CPU architectures without requiring programmers to deal explicitly with concurrency primitives.

An Extensible Tool for Automated Music Generation

In this dissertation I aim to develop an extensible toolkit for automated music generation. Work will expand upon currently implemented results, which were part of a study in spring 2010, and will also include new development. In particular, I aim to work on implementing an intelligent melodic generator, allow for more fine-grained control of input parameters, and possibly apply genetic algorithms to parts of the existing framework.
