Complex networks and public funding: the case of the 2007-2013 Italian program
In this paper we apply techniques of complex network analysis to data sources
representing public funding programs and discuss the importance of the
considered indicators for program evaluation. Starting from the Open Data
repository of the 2007-2013 Italian Program Programma Operativo Nazionale
'Ricerca e Competitivit\`a' (PON R&C), we build a set of data models and
perform network analysis over them. We discuss the obtained experimental
results outlining interesting new perspectives that emerge from the application
of the proposed methods to the socio-economical evaluation of funded programs.Comment: 22 pages, 9 figure
Experimental Approaches to the Composition of Interactive Video Game Music
This project explores experimental approaches and strategies to the composition of interactive music for the medium of video games. Whilst music in video games has not enjoyed the technological progress that other aspects of the software have received, budgets expand and incomes from releases grow. Music is now arguably less interactive than it was in the 1990’s, and whilst graphics occupy large amounts of resources and development time, audio does not garner the same attention. This portfolio develops strategies and audio engines, creating music using the techniques of aleatoric composition, real-time remixing of existing work, and generative synthesisers.
The project created music for three ‘open-form’ games : an example of the racing genre (Kart Racing Pro); an arena-based first-person shooter (Counter-Strike : Source); and a
real-time strategy title (0 A.D.). These games represent a cross-section of ‘sandbox’- type games on the market, as well as all being examples of games with open-ended or
open-source code
