Computer Music between Applied Software Engineering and Pragmatic Tool-Building - available

The creation of computer-based music (including composition, digital lutherie, and performance) is firmly rooted in informatics and its methods. Pure Data, one established tool for music creation, for instance is billed as "visual programming language", and borrows many typical software development paradigms. Consequently, Pure Data also poses software engineering challenges. However, its artist users rarely have corresponding backgrounds, and develop their own coding practices.

Your task is to join a group of composition students who develop computer instruments and musical pieces, and reflect on informatic software engineering practices they use (implicitly or explicitly).  There are two main points of focus: (1) The implementation of computer instruments (including the pragmatic coding practice of composers), and (2) how composers structure musical time in their compositions and how they structure their creative process.

This topic is an interdisciplinary cooperation with MDW (Universität für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Wien / University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna).

Fediverse Network Monitoring - available

The 'mastodon' network with currently more than 4000 instances and 2.4Million users is widely regarded as one of the most successful alternative online social networks around today. This network is evolving rapidly and does not offer any centralized APIs for statistical analysis of "network health".

Your task is to first research the current state of "fediverse network monitoring" and then apply those insights and your ingenuity to improve the situation for the greater good - which is a thriving online social network that does not depend on surveillance capital. (smile)
