An Agent-Based Architecture for Collaborative Virtual Environments for Training
نویسندگان
چکیده
During the last years, Intelligent Virtual Environments for Training have become a quite popular application of computer science to education. These systems involve very different technologies, ranging from computer graphics to artificial intelligence. However, little attention has been paid to software engineering issues, and most of these systems are developed in an ad-hoc way that doesn't allow the reuse of their components or even an easy modification of the application. We describe an agent-based software architecture that is intended to be easily extended and modified. Also, some experiments to test the suitability of the architecture are shown. Key-Words: Agents, Software Architecture, Virtual Environment, Training

متن کاملA Scalable and Extensible Interactive Scenario Architecture for Distributed Command and Control Simulations
Interactive virtual environments are becoming increasingly popular for their utility in virtual training, distributed decision-making and collaborative environments. Some of these applications rely on a scenario that is revealed to the user as he/she interacts with synthetic objects and characters that inhabit virtual worlds. The development and authoring of interactive dynamic scenarios is oft...
متن کاملHuman-Agent Teamwork in Collaborative Virtual Environments (Doctoral Consortium)
The growing interest in using Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) increases the need to create heterogeneous teams comprised of humans and Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs). The main aim of my PhD is to study the factors that tend to improve team performance and foster collaboration between humans and IVAs in CVEs. To reach this aim, a framework, namely MACVILLE, was designed for multi-ag...
