Summary

Stephen Travis Pope is a senior-level software engineer, analyst, designer, programming
consultant, music composer, and mentor. He works as a analysis/design/implementation
consultant applying object-oriented software technology (primarily the Smalltalk and Java
programming languages) to real-world problems. His research interests are distributed
programming, Internet content delivery, audio signal processing, and music representation
languages. 

Background

Stephen Travis Pope (b. 1955, USA), studied at Cornell University, the Vienna Music
Academy, and the "Mozarteum" in Salzburg, Austria, receiving a variety of degrees and
certificates in electrical engineering/computer science, recording engineering, and music
theory and composition. He has taught both music and computer science at the graduate
level, and has worked as a composer, software engineer, engineering manager,
consultant/mentor/trainer, editor, and performing musician. From 1988 through 1997, he
served as editor-in-chief of Computer Music Journal, published by the MIT Press. 

He is currently active as a software consultant (AKA The Nomad Group) specializing in
object-oriented software design, as a senior software engineer at Expertcity.com, Inc, and
as a senior research specialist at the Center Research in Electronic Art Technology
(CREATE) in the Department of Music at the University of California, Santa Barbara. 

He has held technical and managerial positions in software development at PCS/Cadmus
Computers GmbH in Munich, Xerox PARC, ParcPlace Systems, Inc., and
Expertcity.com, Inc. in California, and in numerous consulting and mentoring roles in
US-based and European industry (e.g., Sprint, AT&T, Teknowledge, Ariel, Meade, John
Deere, AT&T, American Express, FedEx, Boeing, and Northrop). He has undertaken
research projects at the Vienna Music Academy, the "Mozarteum," Stanford University,
the University of California, Berkeley, the Swedish Institute for Computer Science, and the
University of California, Santa Barbara. 

Stephen has over 50 publications on topics related to music theory and composition,
computer music, artificial intelligence, graphics and user interfaces, integrated programming
environments, and object-oriented programming. He has been an officer of the
International Computer Music Association, and was elected a lifetime member by the
board of directors in 1990. He has realized his musical works at computer music studios in
the USA (CCRMA/Stanford, CNMAT/Berkeley, CREATE/Santa Barbara) and Europe
(IRCAM/Paris, STEIM/Amsterdam, EMS/Stockholm, CMRS/Salzburg, IEuEM/Vienna);
his music is performed frequently and is available in recorded form from Centaur Records,
Perspectives of New Music, Touch Records, SBC Records, and on MIT Press
Monograph CD/CD-ROMs. 

Stephen lived in Europe (Austria, Germany and France) from 1977-86, and has spent
several years there since then (in Holland and Sweden).
