Description

CUIDAD is an European Working Group coordinated by IRCAM in order to gather all institutions, industrials and users interested in the content processing of music.

The growing emergence of network services and of Internet users has pushed content access and among them music applications. Low bandwith and information overload now call for the development of smarter data representation schemes precisely based on contents. The objective of the CUIDAD working group is to precise and meet industrial and user needs by helping technologies in content processing of music to be developped not only for on-line applications.
