Tutorial: MUSIC Tutorial

MUSIC is an Integrated Project funded by the Information Society Technologies priority of the EU's Sixth Framework Programme (www.ist-music.eu). MUSIC provides open platform technology for the development of self-adaptive mobile applications, which includes methodology, tools and middleware technology. The MUSIC tutorial will provide an overview of the main results of the MUSIC project up to date. After a short general introduction to the project, the tutorial (that will last 4 hours) will provide basic information on MUSIC methodologies and tools and on MUSIC middleware. The tutorial will be concluded by a Demo that will show MUSIC features and capabilities.
