DESIGN AGENTS IN VIRTUAL WORLDS A User-centred Virtual Architecture Agent
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a User-centred Virtual Architecture (UcVA) Agent, a kind of rational agent capable of representing a person in virtual worlds and designing virtual worlds based on current needs. The two major structural aspects of this agent are Avatar Agent and Design Agent. The UcVA agent in this paper is presented from various perspectives: structure, process, and use scenarios. A proposed application of these agent models and an analysis of User-centred Virtual Architecture designed by this agent illustrates and evaluates this approach to designing virtual architecture.

A Grammar for the Dynamic Design of Virtual Architecture Using Rational Agents
Virtual Architecture is a virtual place that uses the metaphor of architecture and provides an online environment for various human activities. While Virtual Architecture inherits many of the characteristics of physical architecture, it is possible to reconsider the virtual in terms of flexibility and autonomy. This paper presents a User-centred Virtual Architecture (UcVA) Agent, a kind of rati...
متن کاملIntroducing Intelligent Agents into Massively Multi-User Persistent Worlds
In this work we propose an architecture and methodology to add virtual agents to Massively MultiUser Persistent Worlds. It is based on a restricted class of Multi-Agent Systems that meets the requirements of the problem and simplify the implementation process. To demonstrate the application of our methodology we add a set of virtual agents to a 3D chat. The agents survey the users to obtain dat...
متن کاملAn Agent Approach to Data Sharing in Virtual Worlds and CAD
This paper describes an agent approach to sharing and synchronising building model data among CAD and virtual world systems. Virtual worlds facilitate a level of communication and collaboration not readily available in conventional CAD systems. The integration of virtual worlds and CAD systems using a common data model can make a significant impact on synchronous collaboration and real time mul...
متن کاملDesign Agents in 3D Virtual Worlds
Design agents are rational agents that monitor and modify elements of a designed environment. Special characteristics of design agents include the ability to reason about patterns and concepts, and the ability to act autonomously in modifying or changing the design to achieve their own goals. 3D Virtual Worlds are multi-user distributed systems that provide a designed environment and a closed w...
متن کاملAn Agent Approach to Supporting Collaborative Design in 3D Virtual Worlds
3D Virtual worlds facilitate a level of communication and collaboration not readily available in conventional CAD systems. The integration of virtual worlds and CAD systems using a common data model can make a significant impact on synchronous collaboration and real time multi-user multi-disciplinary modification of building data. By using agents, the integration of 3D virtual worlds and CAD sy...
