This SBIR project's broader and commercial impact of this project is a benefit to society, because it will help more people learn and experience music in a new and fun way. This project will share concepts from upper division and graduate mathematics graphically with the general public. By helping people through the learning curve for music writing, it opens up commercial potential for new economic interactions?allowing users to sell each other content they create. The marketplace for online music applications has grown by a factor of 10 in the last 2 years. As an example, one major music application now has 250 million users, up from 10 million users 2 years ago. This project provides an opportunity to compete in this space. This project can impact society by helping transform the internet from a market of advertisers to a more desirable market of content producers, and simultaneously advance the state of the art in distributed computing.This SBIR project addresses the following problem: to write music, students must learn to understand music notation. Music notation is based on a centuries old system which obfuscates the mathematical structures present in music, and complicates the learning process. This project advances the knowledge of the student and/or composer using 3 dimensional views and color systems to construct a higher dimensional spatial representation of music. This representation removes obfuscations, and enables user interfaces for intuitive musical expression, helping the student learn faster. The research objectives for are to complete the user interface design to enable artistic expression through the tool, to identify software architecture features for optimal system performance, to design and partition a domain and data model to enable user to user commerce across the cloud and social network, and to define appropriate interface points to external systems for full functionality. Research will consist of mathematical modeling by the principal investigator, combined with graphic design for user interfaces by a senior investigator. These results will refine and integrate with existing and new interfaces for the system, in a prototyping process. The results of the research should include a completed system specification and/or system prototype.

这个SBIR项目的更广泛的商业影响，这个项目是一个有利于社会，因为它将帮助更多的人学习和体验音乐在一个新的和有趣的方式。 这个项目将分享概念，从上师和研究生数学图形与公众。 通过帮助人们完成音乐创作的学习曲线，它为新的经济互动开辟了商业潜力？允许用户互相出售他们创建的内容。 在线音乐应用程序的市场在过去两年中增长了10倍。 例如，一个主要的音乐应用程序现在有2.5亿用户，而两年前只有1000万用户。 这个项目提供了一个在这个领域竞争的机会。 这个项目可以通过帮助将互联网从广告商的市场转变为更受欢迎的内容生产商的市场来影响社会，同时推进分布式计算的最新技术。这个SBIR项目解决了以下问题：要写音乐，学生必须学会理解乐谱。 音乐记谱法是基于一个古老的系统，它混淆了音乐中的数学结构，使学习过程变得复杂。 这个项目推进了学生和/或作曲家使用三维视图和颜色系统来构建音乐的高维空间表示的知识。 这种表示消除了混淆，并使用户界面能够直观地表达音乐，帮助学生更快地学习。 研究目标是完成用户界面设计，通过工具实现艺术表达，识别软件架构功能以优化系统性能，设计和划分域和数据模型，使用户能够通过云和社交网络进行用户商务，并定义适当的接口点到外部系统以实现全部功能。 研究将包括主要研究者的数学建模，以及高级研究者的用户界面图形设计。 这些结果将在原型设计过程中完善并与系统的现有和新接口集成。 研究结果应包括完整的系统规格和/或系统原型。
