A Proposal for Standardization of Internet of Musical Things (IoMusT) Environments

Abstract

The Internet of Musical Things is an interdisciplinary area of knowledge that aims to improve the relationship between musicians, as well as between musicians and audience members, favoring concerts, studio productions, and music learning. Although emerging, this field already faces some challenges, such as lack of privacy and security, and mainly, lack of standardization and interoperability between its devices. Therefore, the present paper presents an environment design, called Sunflower, highlighting its architecture, protocols, and sound features that can contribute to solving the most recurrent problems in this area.
