Description This invention relates to a method and a device for the automatic or semi-automatic composition, in real time, of a multimedia sequence (more preferable predominantly audio) using a reference multimedia sequence structure that already exists or that is composed for the circumstance. Generally, it is known that many solutions for producing multimedia sequences using pre-existing multimedia materials have already been proposed. By way of example, EP 0 857 343 B1 discloses an electronic music generator including: an introduction device, one or more recording media connected to a computer, a rhythm generator, a pitch execution programme, and a sound generator. When it is manipulated by a user who wants to create and play a piece alone, the introduction device produces incoming rhythm and pitch signals. The recording media have various accompaniment tracks on which the user can, by superposing them, create and play the solo, and various rhythm blocks of which each defines for at least one note at least one instant when the note must be played. The recording medium records at least one portion of the solo created by the user during a lapse of time of a given duration, which has just elapsed. The rhythm generator receives the rhythm signals introduced by the introduction device, selects one of the rhythm blocks in the recording medium according to said signals and gives the command to play the note at the instant defined by the selected rhythm block. The pitch execution programme receives the pitch signals introduced by the introduction device and selects: the appropriate pitch according to said signals, the accompaniment track chosen by the user, and the recorded solo. The pitch execution programme then produces the appropriate pitch. The sound generator having received the instructions from the rhythm generator, the pitches from the pitch execution programme, as well as the indication of the accompaniment track chosen by the user, produces an audio signal function of the solo created by the user and from the chosen accompaniment track. Moreover, EP 1 326 228 discloses a method making it possible to interactively modify a musical composition in order to obtain a music to the tastes of a particular user. This method in particular uses the intervention of a song data structure wherein musical rules are applied to musical data that can be modified by the user. In fact, the previously-described solutions consist primarily in a denaturation of a departing musical sequence, according to a continuous process linked to a hard-coded digital music file format. The invention has for purpose a method making it possible to compose multimedia sequences in a musical space defined by the author and wherein the listener could navigate by possibly making use of interactive tools. To that effect, it proposes a method for the automatic or semi-automatic composition in real time of a multimedia sequence including a prior phase including the creation of a reference multimedia sequence structure and the breakdown of said structure into basic components that can be assimilated to tracks (P1, P2, Pn), each of these basic components being broken down into a set of basic subcomponents (or bricks (B1 1-B4 n)) which can consist of musical movements, harmonies or styles and an automatic composition phase in real time of a new multimedia sequence containing a choice of subcomponents. According to the invention, this method is characterised in that the prior phase includes the assigning to each of the subcomponents of psychoacoustic descriptors or attributes and the storage of subcomponents and descriptors or attributes that are assigned to them in databases and in that the automatic composition phase includes the generation on the basic components of a sequence of subcomponents wherein the chaining which is characterised by a maintaining or a replacing of the subcomponents, is calculated according to an algorithm that determines, for each subcomponent a selection criterion taking into account its psychoacoustic descriptors or attributes and context parameters, said composition phase repeating through looping, each sequence regenerating itself permanently by associating a subcomponent to each basic component, the listener being able to intervene in real time on the choice of subcomponents by influencing the operation of above-mentioned algorithm. This method thereby makes it possible to generate a multimedia sequence in real time as you go along (not once and for all at the beginning). This generation can continue indefinitely by looping (no natural end), the sequence regenerating itself permanently by associating subcomponents chosen algorithmically in the databases, the user being able to intervene at the level of the choice of subcomponents by influencing the operation of the algorithm. The previously-described method could possible include the association, to each of these subcomponents, of a plurality of homologous subcomponents (or homologous bricks) contained in files stored in databases and to each one of which are assigned attributes. The automatic composition phase could then include the replacement of subcomponents with homologous subcomponents and the determination for each homologous subcomponent (the same as for the basic subcomponents of the probability of this subcomponent to be chosen), taking its attributes into account. As previously mentioned, the algorithm is based on a probability calculation. It determines for each subcomponent a probability of being chosen, then performs a random choice in respect of these probabilities. The probabilities can be calculated by applying rules that are independent of the substance of the subcomponent (for example non musical rules): the rules can for example consider that the choice of a subcomponent can influence the other concomitant choices or those to come: a rule could therefore for example consist in modifying the probability of choosing a variation according to previous choices. It thus appears that a sequence, for example a musical one could have intervene, in accordance with the method according to the invention:
The basic components (tracks) can be in an active state or in an inactive state (pause). This state is determined by prior or concomitant subcomponent choices. The choice carried out in accordance with the method according to the invention could possibly entail the subcomponent benefiting from the maximum probability (thereby a non-random choice). The rules could be characterised by a degree of importance or priority. In this case, when two rules are contradictory the one of less importance is momentarily deleted in such a way that a choice of subcomponent is always possible (at least one brick with a non-zero probability). The subcomponent (brick) choice algorithm could be generalised in order to allow for the choice of other parameters of the music: volume of a track, degree of repetition, echo coefficient, etc. Furthermore, the subcomponent choice algorithm could be generalised to content types other than music (selection of a video sequence, texts, etc.). Thanks to the previously-mentioned measures, the invention makes it possible to produce musical compositions of which the execution could give rise to a large degree of variability, and a possibility of unlimited adaptation using a single file composed according to the method of the invention. Computer technology intervenes here no longer only as a means of reproduction, but as a means of interaction with a music. This does not concern automatic music, in the sense that the musical creation phase is always central and absolutely fundamental for the quality of the music generated. However, the work of the author is substantially modified by the implementation of the invention: this involves for the author defining a music space wherein the listener will be led to navigate, possibly using interaction tools. More precisely, the method according to the invention could include the following steps:
An embodiment of the invention shall be described hereinafter, by way of example that is not restrictive, with reference to the annexed drawings wherein: In the example shown in Each track includes a succession of subcomponents or reference bricks. In this way:
To each one of the reference bricks of each track is associated a series of homologous bricks. In this way, in particular:
Of course, the invention is not limited to a determined number of tracks, reference bricks or homologous bricks. Moreover, the data relative to the tracks, reference bricks and homologous bricks is stored in files or in databases B1a, B1b, B2a, B2b, Bn1, Bn2, Bn3, Bn4. These files or databases are used by a computer system SE called hereinafter �expert system� designed in such a way as to provide the functions of a virtual mixing console and which consequently contain:
This new multimedia sequence can be memorised temporarily in a memory M1 or be played in real time at the time of its composition.
In this example, the selection via selecting device S1 of brick B2 nH2 according to the previous choice of brick B1 nH1 and its integration into track P′n is shown. The reference multimedia sequence structure, shown by tracks P′1, P′2, P′n, which has any duration, possibly unlimited, is called hereinafter �piece�. It is obtained at the end of a step of composing the piece, a file-creating step and a step for playing the files and executing the corresponding pieces. The step of composing a piece includes the definition of the following elements:
This interactive structure can be defined either:
The files contains or reference previously-mentioned composition elements and, in particular, the basic multimedia components (bricks). They are designed to be used by a computer system of the system expert type in order to carry out the abovementioned composition phase of the piece. The encoding format of the contents of each multimedia component is not hard-coded: therefore, for the audio for example, a Windows audio video file extension (registered trademark), wav (registered trademark) or the mp3 standard (registered trademark) or any format that the expert system can recognise can be used. The expert system SE consists of a software able to read the files then to execute the corresponding pieces. It is capable of interpreting the multimedia components (bricks) contained or referenced in the file. The expert system is capable of handling the interaction controls (buttons) possibly automatically, without having recourse to a user, but by offering the user in general an interaction interface. It furthermore makes it possible to switch from one piece to another. The function executed by the expert system is presented as the manipulation of a virtual mixing console having the following characteristics:
This mixing console can be configured. So, for example, for an audio track, the information that is taken into account could include the audio component to be played, the volume, the minimum playing duration for the component. For a display, the information taken into account could include, for example, a text element to be displayed, the character font used. Structurally, the expert system includes two distinct portions:
The calculations performed by the expert system are based on the following considerations and calculation rules: a) Notion of space, system and state The space is comprised of systems �S�; each system is a vector of states �E�. So, for example:
At any time, a system S is either suspended, or in a state E. In the latter case, the state E is said to be active. It is denoted as E(S). The systems interact via non symmetric �γ� and �τ� relations. S′γS: means that the state of S depends on the state of S′. Cycles of the relation γ are not allowed: S1γS2γ . . . SnγS1 is impossible. S′γS: means that the state of S depends on the �previous� state of S′. The previous state of a system S is denoted as E′(S). The τ relation can be reflexive. The γ or τ relations and the systems can be linked to states by an α relation: E α S: if E is inactive, then S is suspended E α γ: if E is inactive, then γ is suspended. A suspended relation loses all influence. When two systems S and S′ are in γ or τ relation, a probability matrix of the states of S′ to the states of S is defined. The expression a γp b is thus written to indicate that a state a of S′ contributes with a probability p to the state b of S. This contribution is also denoted as pS′γS(a,b), and even p(a,b) when there is no ambiguity possible. This contribution is a positive real number (possibly zero). A suspended system may continue to influence via a γ or τ relation: the probability matrix is extended to the �suspended� state of the source system. Note that a system having only one state and with no α relation can activate only the latter. This is an �absolutely constrained system�, since its state is always known. A constraint is defined as being the manner of forcing a system to be in a certain state. Note that a τ relation is thereby equivalent to a γ relation with constraint; S τS′ is replaced with:
Moreover, note that a constraint can be seen more generally as a γ relation between an absolutely constrained system and the system to be constrained. The matrix for this relation is thereby reduced to a vector of which all of the coefficients except one are zero. Since constraints can be contradictory, they must be ordered by assigning them an importance. For this reason, a level of importance is assigned to the γ and τ relations, as well as to the constraints. This level of importance may possibly be infinite for the γ relations. It must be finite for τ relations and for constraints; this is justified by the fact that:
b) Notion of resolution (or reduction) b1: Resolution and freely-calculateable space The reduction of a system S consists in determining the probability of each of its states, then in making a random selection that takes these probabilities into account. This selection determines the state of system S. Probability, before normalisation, of a state b of S is:
This probability is calculated on non-suspended γ or τ relations. Normalised probability of a state b of S is:
This probability exists only if the sum located in the divisor is not zero, i.e. if there exists at least one state with a non-zero probability before normalisation. The resolution of the space consists in determining the state of all of the systems in such a way that the possible relations are satisfied. A space is �freely calculateable� if there is a resolution by talking only into account relations of infinite importance. The rest of this document only covers spaces that are �freely calculateable�. b2: Resolution under constraint The resolution under constraint consists in imposing the state of some systems. The constraint always consists in posing E(S)=b. Constraints are associated with a criterion of importance, which defines a total order (this notion of importance depends on the application that uses the mixing calculation). The resolution under constraint consists in determining the state of all the systems, in such a way that all of the relations and all of the constraints are respected, including relations of finite importance. b3: Low resolution under constraint Low resolution consists in identifying a solution by possibly suppressing a few constraints or relations, by applying the following rule: when the resolution under constraint fails, all of the constraints or relations that caused the failure are determined, the constraint or relation of least importance is suppressed, and the resolution is started again. It is evident that an �freely calculateable� space can always be resolved in a low manner: in the worst of cases, it can be resolved by suppressing all of the constraints and all of the relations of finite importance. b4: Systemes and arithmetical relations Arithmetical systems are defined, which are particular systems for which the states are real numbers. Sa . . . is written. These are therefore systems for which the states are of an infinite number and in congruence with the realm of real numbers. Arithmetical relations are defined. Instead of defining gamma and tau relations between systems S1, S2, . . . , Sn and a system S, these relations are represented in the form of an arithmetical expression between the systems S1, S2, . . . , Sn and the system S. This expression is based on the present or past states of systems S1, S2, . . . , Sn and provides the active state of S. If a system is arithmetical, its state is a real number (by convention: 0 if the system is suspended). For example: S:=if (E(S1)+E′(S2))=0 then a else b S:=1+if E(S1)=a1 then 0 else 1 (where a and b are states of S, a1 a state of S1, and E′(S2) is the previous state of S2). The primitives are:
It is then said that system S is in arithmetical resolution. In the opposite case, system S is in quantum resolution. It is shown that there is inclusion of the arithmetical resolution in the quantum resolution, such that the preceding considerations on the resolution of spaces remain valid. In order to maintain the complexity of the resolution within reasonable limits, the following limitations are set:
This limitation could be transgressed in certain cases to reduced complexity and which would be tedious to implement as quantum resolution. For example: S=if E(S′)!=E′(S′) then a else b. b5: Examples of quantum resolution calculations By convention, when probability contributions are not stated, they are considered to have the value of 1.
Then, the system remains a certain time in state a, then switches to state b, then evolves endlessly between state b and state c, never returning to state a. b6: Low resolution algorithm under constraint For the resolution under constraint, a set of constraints (S,b,n) is provided: system S is constrained in state b with importance n. The algorithm is as follows:
In case of failure, we therefore look to the last system that caused the failure (the last one that failed, lacking a candidate state). Then we move back up along the tree of alpha, gamma and tau relations which lead to this system, the list of constraints and relations of finite importance that led to this failure is determined. The constraint or relation of least important is then suppressed, and resolution is started again. Since the space if freely calculateable, there is always a solution, by removing all of the constraints and all of the relations of finite importance in the worst of cases. Of course, the previously-mentioned concepts and rules must be adapted to the specificity of the functions executed by the expert system. So, initially, it is suitable first of all to define a list (possibly empty) of initial constraints, which will be applied during the first evaluation. A certain number of systems will be defined as �masters�, being understood that any system is associated to at least one master system (possibly itself). Master systems decide the time of the next resolution for their slave systems. Each state of a master system defines a �basic duration�. When the state of a master system is activated, a new resolution must take place after the basic duration. This resolution will be partial:
Generally, it can be considered that a �master� system is so for the entire space, which avoids partial resolution. Moreover, it is suitable to define the �mixing console� which is a list of typical tracks. Each track is associated to one or more systems S of the space of mixing calculation. For example, for an audio track:
For a style track:
In practice, the tracks are associated to:
When a tracks changes state, a minimum desired duration is determined, using the attributes. Once the mixing console is defined, the constraints to be applied to each track are defined. During the resolution performed by the expert system:
For each constraint, a level of importance is defined, by using constants or values of arithmetical systems. Of course, the audio tracks that depend on a same master system will have to be synchronised. So, when an audio brick is selected on a track, playing of it begins at the exact moment of the resolution that led to its selection. This playing is not carried out in the form of a loop, even if the brick is to be repeated, so, during the next resolution:
As previously mentioned, the expert system makes use of a file designed to bring together in a structured manner the following elements:
This file consists of an xml description file, containing four types of tags: component, system, constraint, framework,
These tags can have the following two attributes:
The attributes are either:
The component tag describes a component of the mixing console having a main attribute:
It generally has the attribute:
The �general� component makes it possible to define general attributes of the file (main tempo, main volume, etc.). Such a component does not normally include a select attribute. When it has one of the following attributes, this means that the component will maintain the current value for a certain time.
The component may also contain the �master� attribute which indicates that the evaluation of the mixing console must be carried out at the end of the �basic duration�. This basic duration is determined by the basic duration of the current state of the �select� attribute. For a component of the �audio� type, there will also be the following attributes:
The system tag describes a mixing calculation system as well as the relations that determine it. Its attributes are, in addition to �name� and �id�: Type=select|numerical eval=quantum|arithmetical The type has the following values:
The evaluation mode has the following values:
The subtags are:
The alpha subtag defines an alpha relation for the system. The attribute is:
The state subtag defines, only for a system of the �select� type, one of the possible states of the system. The name and the state can sometimes be interpreted as a numerical value. The attributes are, in addition to �name� and �id�:
When enable is equal to �off�, the state cannot be selected. For a state of the �audio� type, the attributes are also:
Durations or coefficients for repetition are also defined:
The relation subtag defines a gamma or tau relation for the system. The attributes are, in addition to �name� and �id�:
It accepts the following subtags:
The matrix and the vector have a field which is the continuation of the numerical values of the coefficients, separated by a space or line feed. The expr subtag defines in its field an arithmetical expression which is based on:
The constraint tag describes a mixing calculation constraint that is possibly interactive. Its attributes are, in addition to �name� and �id�:
The framework tag describes the structure model of the file. It is useful for the editing phases, by automatically producing some structure elements (primarily relations). For example, for the �song� framework:
A gamma relation is applied between the score component and each of the audio tracks. A gamma relation is applied between the style component and each of the audio tracks. A gamma relation is applied between the harmony component and each of the audio tracks. A tau relation is applied to the harmony in order to switch linearly from one to the other, and which skips the first harmony when replayed. A tau relation is applied to the original track in order to loop the elements of the original track. A tau relation is applied between the harmony track and the original track. A tau relation is applied between the original track and the harmony. A piece is defined as:
A composite format is defined making it possible to group all of these elements together in a single file. The complete file initially contains a table of subfiles:
The description file is named �index .xml�. Files referenced by the xml are first searched for in the subfile table, then on the local disc. The function of the expert system is to:
In the example shown in The first step in the method consists here in a segmenting into sequences of duration corresponding to a multiple of measures (in the musical sense). This segmenting can be carried out manually, for example using traditional music editor software or via a pedal controlled by rhythm controlling the recording of end-of-measure markers. Segmenting can also be carried out automatically, by analysing the sequence. The result of this first step of segmenting is the production of initial audio materials or initial video materials, comprised of digital files. The second step consists in applying filters to these initial audio or video materials, in order to calculate, for each initial material, one or more filtered materials, in a format corresponding to the execution programme used (for example an MP3 format�registered trademark). Each filtered material is associated to an identifier, for example the name of the file. A set of specific filtered material is thereby constructed, i.e. resulting from the filtering of the initial sequence. These filters can be comprised of:
Optionally, a �leader� (song track) is maintained on which is organised the other filtered materials in order to maintain the original structure. Moreover, �universal� filtered materials are added for which the length may exceed that of a �specific filtered material�. These are musical or video digital files, which do not depend on the initial video or musical sequence. In order to allow the listener to interact with the produced file, three series of components are prepared:
Psychoacoustic criteria are defined, for example:
Then, a set of tracks is constructed (n video tracks, m audio tracks, z text tracks, lighting, or a filter e.g.: volume applied to tracks x and y (some tracks defining effects applied to other tracks, inter-track relations), etc.). There are also tracks referred to as �control�, which have no substantial effect for the eye or ear, but which determine the parameters on which the other tracks will use as a base. For example a track will determine the harmony to be respected by the other tracks. Then a collection of subcomponents or bricks is constructed: each brick is comprised of a filtered material, to which is associated:
Interaction cursors are then defined, allowing the user to interact with the musical execution. The next step consists in defining for each track, an evaluation function which consists in weighing each brick according to constants (psychoacoustic criteria) and a context (cursor values, and history of the piece currently being executed). Optionally, for each track, internal variable modification functions are defined, for each brick (edge effect), called at the beginning and at the end of each brick. The various functions allow for basic arithmetical calculations, recourse to a random number generator, the use of complex structures and the management of edge effects. Distance function: avoids evaluating the totality of the brick combinations, and to apply the function only to bricks that are �close� to the brick for which playing has just completed. An audio/video sequence is thereby constructed of which the format corresponds to a multimedia format dedicated to the interactive music. The format makes use of the notion of �piece�. Remember that a piece is a multimedia sequence of any duration, possibly unlimited. The format according to the invention is based on multimedia subcomponents or bricks, which are mainly audio bricks, but which for some are also video, textual or others. Certain bricks can also be multimedia filters (audio, video, etc. filter) which will be applied to other bricks. The system produces a multimedia sequence by assembling and by mixing bricks as described in what precedes. The choice of the bricks to assemble and mix can be accomplished in function of the interactions of a user while the sequence is being executed. The system is comprised of several stages:
The composition of a piece is carried out by assembling, in a non-exhaustive manner:
This assembly normally gives rise to a file containing or referencing the above-mentioned items. The encoding format of the contents of each brick is not hard-coded in the specification. It can make use of a standard format, MP3 for example (registered trademark). The format contains the lists of the parameters corresponding to the psychoacoustic criteria as well as the description of the interaction cursors. Furthermore, the format includes the various evaluation functions. These functions are described in the form of a bytecode of which the characteristics are part of the specification. This bytecode has a purpose to be interpreted by a virtual machine incorporated in the execution programmes. The file is open to the addition of metadata making it possible to enrich the pieces and in particular to enrich their rendering by the execution programmes. The execution programme is software capable of reading files generated by the method according to the invention, then of executing the corresponding pieces. The execution programme is capable of interpreting the bricks contained or referenced in the file. The execution programme is capable of managing the interaction cursors, possibly automatically, without having recourse to a user, but by offering the user in general an interaction interface. Finally, the execution programme is capable of evaluating the evaluation functions and of selecting the bricks to be mixed according to the result. A piece is defined in the following manner:
During the execution of a piece, the execution programme mixes all of the tracks permanently. On each track, it chains the bricks together, one at a time. At the end of each brick, the execution programme selects the next brick that it will start at the next tempo. Selecting the next brick to play on track t is performed by determining the brick b that maximises �t (b, K, P, H, G, V). This calculation is performed on bricks bεBt, such that dt (b, b0)<λ, where b0 is the brick that has just completed. According to the number of bricks contained in the piece and the computing power of the execution programme, the value λ could be reduced dynamically. At the start of a brick, the execution programme evaluates the function st (b, K, P, H, G, V); at the end of the brick, it evaluates the function et (b, K, P, H, G, V). The function st can where applicable, by means of the edge effects, alter the playing parameters of the brick (repetition, pitch, general volume, etc.). The user interacts on interaction parameters P. The mixing operation depends on the type of bricks. Generally, tracks are not independent, the β relation defines the dependencies. For example a track chaining together sound effects (volume, echo, etc.) will be applied to the mixing on an audio track. Examples: Pure random operation The execution programme randomly chooses at any time a brick from among all of those available. d (b, b0)=0 �t (b, K, P, H, G, V)=rand The execution programme randomly chooses at any time a brick from among all of those available and performs a repetition of the brick a variable number of times, equal to 1, 2, . . . , 2n, where n is a repetition parameter of the brick.
The bricks are ordered and the execution programme systematically chooses the following brick, and loops back to the first one at the end of the sequence.
The file groups the following elements together is a structured way:
The format of the multimedia materials is free: mp3, wav, etc. The associated codec must obviously be present in the execution programme. The bytecode is a stack bytecode, allowing for basic arithmetical calculations, recourse to a random generator, the use of complex structures (lists, tuples, vectors) and the manipulation of functions. With regards to user interfaces, it should be noted that the manner in which the user interacts on the algorithm for choosing bricks has a certain variety. In a simplified alternative, the user could, for example, have a graphics interface comprised of a certain number of buttons or cursors for interaction of which the number and type depend on the work under consideration. The authors of content using the method according to the invention will be able to integrate some of these buttons or cursors into all of their works (or multimedia sequences), in such a way as to make certain types of interaction uniform, such as: calmer/neutral/more dynamic. The interaction cursors could also be driven by biometric data:
In this latter example, it is in particular known that it is possible to measure the state of stress or the state of concentration of the user. Two modes of interaction are thereby possible:

By Pat Romanski How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends:

Exposing that business layer and data to end users.
This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happe... Jan. 30, 2015 12:30 AM EST Reads: 3,019 |

Carufel fourth Irish sophomore to leave program
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Matt Carufel, who started three games at right guard for Notre Dame, has decided to withdraw from school after losing the starting job.
"I spoke with Matt Carufel Sunday evening and he informed me that he was going to leave the team and withdraw from the University of Notre Dame," coach Charlie Weis said. "I appreciate all Matt has done for Notre Dame and wish him nothing but the best."
The 6-foot-5, 295-pound sophomore from Forest Lake, Minn., had started three games after Dan Wenger was injured against Michigan, but lost the job to Eric Olsen last week. Carufel missed practice and was not at the Boston College game on Saturday.
Carufel is the fourth sophomore to leave the program since April. Quarterback Zach Frazer transferred to Connecticut after he was demoted to fourth string in the spring.
Quarterback Demetrius Jones, who started the season-opener against Georgia Tech, lost his starting job and left the team the week of the Michigan game Sept. 15 and transferred to Cincinnati. Konrad Reuland, listed as the third-string tight end, left the team Sept. 23.
Sophomore guard Chris Stewart left the team for several days earlier this season before returning.

Commandant Thad Allen, in a recently signed letter, announced that the United States will be the host of the 2009 World Maritime Day Parallel Event being held in New York City and around the country on October 16. The theme this year is "Climate Change: A Challenge for IMO too!" The event will be marked in New York with a delegate conference, a "Green Ship" Exhibition, Student Science Fair and a reception. At the urging of Commandant Allen, activities with marine environmental protection themes will take place in ports around the nation marking the event. "We are honored to be the hosts of the 2009 International Maritime Organization (IMO) World Maritime Day Parallel Event. The Parallel Event is an opportunity for the maritime community to come together with the public to celebrate the contributions of the maritime industry, as well as discuss and promote ways in which we can address areas important to us all" stated Admiral Allen. "We expect representation from the IMO, the international and national maritime communities, the public, the media and students from grammar schools through university." The program in New York will examine Climate Change issues from emerging technology and best practices to regulatory implications and actions. A concurrent Green Ship Exhibition will highlight products and services relating to the maritime industry, and a judged Student Science Fair will engage high school and university participation. "As the world becomes more and more concerned with the effects of global warming, the maritime community is increasingly aware of the need to address the challenges posed by our changing environment," said Admiral Allen. "The Coast Guard is working diligently with the IMO and industry partners to examine opportunities to reduce our impact on the environment. With a goal of creating a collaborative venue to discuss these issues and display current advances to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Parallel Event will focus on how the maritime community is responding to our changing environment." While the US Coast Guard is the host of the event along with the IMO, other federal agencies will also be participating, including the Department of State, the Environmental Protection Agency, and NOAA. Corporate and organization sponsors (to date) include Alaris, Blank Rome, Chamber of Shipping of America, the Coast Guard Foundation, ExxonMobile, Lockheed Martin Corporation, North American Marine Environment Protection Association (NAMEPA), New York Maritime Inc. (NYMAR), Overseas Shipholding Group, Sea Research Foundation, and the Teekay Corporation. "We invite you to participate in this signature event to help us recognize the importance of the maritime industry and showcase our contributions to the safe, secure and environmentally responsible transportation of the world's goods. We hope you will consider being part of our event and support our goal to advance environmentally responsible shipping" concluded Admiral Allen. (www.uscg.mil/worldmaritimeday)
