Over the last decade research into design processes utilizing ideas and models drawn from artificial intelligence has resulted in a better understanding of design -- particularly routine design -- as a process. Indeed; most of the current research activity directly or indirectly deals only with routine design. Not surprisingly; many practicing designers state that the level of understanding represented by these models is only of mild interest because they fail to embody any ideas about creativity. This volume provides a set of chapters in the areas of modeling creativity and knowledge-based creative design that examines the potential role and form of computer-aided design which supports creativity. It aims to define the state-of-the-art of computational creativity in design as well as to identify research directions. Published at a time when the field of computational creativity in design is still immature; it should influence the directions of growth and assist the field in reaching maturity.

This book is "easy to read" because it is well-written. There is terminology that is specific to the music industry throughout the book; but the author ALWAYS defines the terms used. He also gives specific examples to explain the points he makes throughout the book. This even includes specific court cases regarding publishing rights; points of view from record companies vs. songwriters/artists and vice versa. It is a combination of generalized music business topics as well as cases and possible scenarios within the music business while providing explicit details. I would HIGHLY recommend this book and author for anyone wanting to learn the ins and outs of the legal side of the music industry; especially the publishing side. Theres SO MUCH to learn; yet this text book is a great resource for beginners and intermediate learners.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. What A Great Book -- Winogradsky Nails It.By loveIf this is not in your library; youre missing out. Steves book is a must have for anyone (including attorneys) who wants a deeper knowledge of the music publishing business. It goes into detail (via great examples and sample contract language) without your head spinning. Glad I bought this.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A terrific primer for aspiring music publishersBy Buddy RogersA terrific primer for aspiring music publishers; songwriters and related fields. The music business has grown more complex and this book will help navigate the increasingly choppy waters. A little technical and legal in spots but overall; Winogradsky did a superb job of making the complicated a lot more understandable.
