This book is a first sketch of what the overall field of performance could look like as a modern scientific field but not its stylistically differentiated practice, pedagogy, and history. Musical performance is the most complex field of music. It comprises the study of a composition’s expression in terms of...

Like all engineering activities, computer programming is both craft and science. Building a bridge or a computer program requires familiarity with the known techniques for the overall design of similar artifacts. And making intelligent choices among the available techniques and designs requires understanding of the mathematical principles...

Performance-aware Component-based Software-Development A characteristic of an engineering discipline is the ability to predict the impact of design decisions. For example, in civil engineering accurate predictions of the impact of adding an additional ?oor on a construction’s statics are available. Having a similar ability in software...
