Computer Music Composition

I've been looking into computer assisted music composition lately for my school project. While searching for literature I came across GenJam, an interactive jazz improvisation software which uses genetic algorithms to produce musical phrases.

I was wondering If anyone has done some work on computer generated music and could suggest term papers, books or other reading material I should look into.
