Presenter: Antonio Deusany de Carvalho Junior, Sc.D. candidate at IME/USP and exchange student at University of Michigan/USA

Cloud Computing is a buzzword that has got the attention of many areas. One of its attractions is the variety of services offered taking advantage of the powerful processing and data distribution. The cloud services present many benefits in case you want to use Cloud Computing but don't want to spend so much time setting up some virtual machine in order to start your projects.

In this talk we are going to present some Cloud Services, and we will discuss the many ways in which these services are useful at musical applications. The first results from this research will presented including a technical specification of the aimed results. We will present cloud services that permit users to exchange messages, and receive push notifications. These services were tested on mobile music applications transmitting million of messages though a single channel per day. The applications created with these services will be presented in detail at the end of the seminar. Everyone is invited to participate from the auditorium or remotely.
