Real-Time Co-composing System Using Multi-aspects

Real-time interactive mobile systems are becoming increasingly common giving users easy and instant access to vast amounts of information and creative tools. However, due to the amount of data available, direct manipulation of information and use of applications can prove quite difficult, if one does not possess the necessary background knowledge on a given subject at first. We propose a more indirect approach utilizing aspects, and using a music composition system as an example describe a method that simplifies otherwise complex processes and allows the user to carry out a number of powerful tasks using familiar terms and expressions without having to learn system-specific terminology or hard-to-comprehend jargon, while at the same time creating a sense of clarity and overview in a field that might initially seem vague and inaccessible.
