A SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE FOR INTELLIGENT VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS APPLIED TO EDUCATION

A Software Architecture for Intelligent Virtual Environments Applied to Education

This paper describes the software architecture that has been designed as a model for the application of Intelligent Virtual Environments to training activities. CORBA has been used as the middleware to integrate a graphical and interactive environment developed in OpenGL and Visual C++, with a cooperative multi-agent system developed on top of the JADE

A Software Architecture for Intelligent Synthesis Environments

1 0-7803-6599-2/01/$10.00 © 2001 IEEE Abstract—NASA’s Intelligent Synthesis Environment (ISE) program is a grand attempt to develop a system to transform the way complex artifacts are engineered. This paper discusses a “middleware” architecture for enabling the development of ISE. Desirable elements of such an Intelligent Synthesis Architecture (ISA) include remote invocation; plug-and-play app...

Wireless Collaborative Virtual Environments Applied to Language Education

This chapter provides an overview of second language learning and an approach on how wireless collaborative virtual reality can contribute to resolving important pedagogical challenges. Second language learning provides an exceptional opportunity to employ mobility and multimedia in the context of justin-time-learning in formal learning situations, or ubiquitous and lifelong learning in more in...

NPSNET: A Network Software Architecture For Large Scale Virtual Environments

This paper explores the issues involved in designing and developing network softrarare architectures for large-scale virtual environments. We present our ideas in the context of NPSNET-IV, the first 3-D virtual environment that incorDorates both the IEEE 1278 distributed interactive simulation (DlS) application protocol and the lP multicast network protocol for multiplayer simulation over the l...
