Confessions of a live coder
This paper describes the process involved when a live coder decides to learn a new musical programming language of another paradigm. The paper introduces the problems of running comparative experiments, or user studies, within the field of live coding. It suggests that an autoethnographic account of the process can be helpful for understanding the technological conditioning of contemporary musical tools. The author is conducting a larger research project on this theme: the part presented in this paper describes the adoption of a new musical programming environment, Impromptu, and how this affects the authorâs musical practice
The Contribution of Society to the Construction of Individual Intelligence
It is argued that society is a crucial factor in the construction of individual intelligence. In other words that it is important that intelligence is socially situated in an analogous way to the physical situation of robots. Evidence that this may be the case is taken from developmental linguistics, the social intelligence hypothesis, the complexity of society, the need for self-reflection and autism. The consequences for the development of artificial social agents is briefly considered. Finally some challenges for research into socially situated intelligence are highlighted

Software Architecture of Code Analysis Frameworks Matters: The Frama-C Example
Implementing large software, as software analyzers which aim to be used in
industrial settings, requires a well-engineered software architecture in order
to ease its daily development and its maintenance process during its lifecycle.
If the analyzer is not only a single tool, but an open extensible collaborative
framework in which external developers may develop plug-ins collaborating with
each other, such a well designed architecture even becomes more important.
In this experience report, we explain difficulties of developing and
maintaining open extensible collaborative analysis frameworks, through the
example of Frama-C, a platform dedicated to the analysis of code written in C.
We also present the new upcoming software architecture of Frama-C and how it
aims to solve some of these issues.Comment: In Proceedings F-IDE 2015, arXiv:1508.0338
How Would You Like Your Television: With or Without Borders and With or Without Culture--a New Approach to Media Regulation in the European Union
This Essay analyzes the effectiveness of television broadcasting regulations as a means to effectuate the promotion and protection of a pan-European culture, namely, television broadcasting regulations. First, in Part I, this Essay considers the broader background developments in the audio-visual sector that led to the passing of the Directive. Part II looks at the advantages and disadvantages of the most controversial aspect of the Directive, namely, the quota provisions. Part III critiques the Directive\u27s effectiveness in realizing its dual goals of both protecting and promoting a pan-European culture. Finally, Part IV compares the goals enunciated in the Federal Communications Act ( FCC Act ) with those enunciated in the Directive. Both sets of goals reflect similar concerns and interests, although the United States takes a much broader approach in realizing its goals. This Essay concludes that the Community should, like the United States, take a more expansive approach to its audio-visual policy, similar to the approach reflected in the FCC Act, in order to strengthen and effectuate a more solid and unified European broadcast regulatory scheme that both protects and promotes a European culture
