Concert Manager

The central point for concert organization is a concert manager where the lecturer can register scores for subsequent access from other hosts providing

• the score itself (a set of Java byte code files),
• access restrictions for each player group (based on network domains, host names, passwords).

The subsequent task of the concert manager is comparatively simple: it listens on some machine port for concert requests, lists the available scores (perhaps plus ensemble-specific information such as the instruments involved and the number of players connected), transmits the requested score, receives and checks the credential for access to the requested player group, and connects the player to the concert.

In addition, the concert manager must provide facilities for maintaining (updating and deleting) scores under protection of a score password that the lecturer defines when registering the score.
