NOMADS（Network-Operational移动的Applied Digital System）是一个基于网络客户端-服务器的音乐和多媒体表演系统。NOMADS允许包括观众在内的大量参与者组成分布在网络上的移动的交互式计算机集合。参与者成为与其他表演者协同互动的一部分，为多媒体表演做出贡献。该系统增强了当地的表演空间，它可以整合位于多个表演场地的观众。来自网络上数千个同时用户的单个用户输入被合成为一个单一的紧急声音和视觉结构，我们称之为社会合成。本文叙述了NOMADS的研究，概述了其技术架构，并描述了几种实现。目前的应用包括远程信息处理歌剧Auksalaq和MICE管弦乐队的表演。作者还认为，大规模的人机合奏作为一个范例的组成和性能的潜力。
NOMADS (Network-Operational Mobile Applied Digital System) is a network client–server-based system for participant interaction in music and multimedia performance contexts. NOMADS allows large groups of participants, including the audience, to form a mobile interactive computer ensemble distributed across a network. Participants become part of a synergistic interaction with other performers, contributing to the multimedia performance. The system enhances local performance spaces, and it can integrate audiences located in multiple performance venues. Individual user input from up to thousands of simultaneous users across a network is synthesised into a single emergent sound and visual structure in an approach we call socio-synthesis. This paper recounts research leading up to NOMADS, outlines its technological architecture, and describes several implementations. Current applications include the telematic opera Auksalaq, and performances by the MICE Orchestra. The authors also consider the potential of large-scale human–computer ensembles as a paradigm for composition and performance.
