Contributions

We will now briefly summarize the main contribution of this Thesis.

• An explicit relation between the OO paradigm, system engineering, and graphical Models of Computation.
• A general object-oriented metamodel for digital signal processing (DSPOOM) that combines the benefits of object-orientation and graphical models of computation.
• The CLAM framework as a particularization of the previous metamodel in the audio and music domain.
• An extension of the basic DSPOOM metamodel for including the concept of content processing and translate the benefits of object-orientation also to this domain and giving place to the Object-Oriented Content Transmission Metamodel.
• An object-oriented model of music as an instance of the DSPOOM metamodel in which we deal with symbolic data and the MetriX language as its implementation.
