The term performology is introduced to describe the performer's " attempted control " of an acoustical instrument or a sound device. Four examples of performance analyses are discussed, three based on repeated MIDI recordings (Yamaha Disklavier grand and upright) and the last one based on repeated anechoic flute recordings. The development of procedures and methodology for studying music perfor...

Text preprocessing plays an important role in a textto-speech (TTS) synthesis system. The correct detection and interpretation of input strings influence the overall system accuracy and contribute to the conversion of an unrestricted text into synthetic speech. This paper describes the design philosophy of a preprocessing module for a TTS system in Romanian language. The preprocessor is impleme...

More and more applications emphasize analysis huge data and depend on the data transmission. Data Grids enable the selection, sharing, and connection of a wide variety of geographically distributed computational and storage resources for content the large-scale data-intensive application needs. Data grids consist of scattered computing and storage resources located in different countries/region...

In the last decade, plenty of algorithms, benchmarks, and experimental studies have been carried out for pattern mining problems. In this paper, we focus on the special class of pattern mining problems known to be ”representable as sets”. In this setting, the main contribution of this paper is to take advantage of the common theoretical background of these problems from an implementation point ...
