چکیده

Many virtual world applications today represent the cutting edge in real-time 3D interactive graphics. These applications must model many complex, often changing, graphical objects. These graphical objects must be modeled both visually and behaviorly. An application independent method for describing graphical objects is essential for rapid prototyping and development. This paper presents a simple, flexible and extensible graphics description language, NPSGDL, used in virtual world development at the Naval Postgraduate School.

Declarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey

One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...

NPSOFF: An object description language for supporting virtual world construction

The development of interesting virtual world systems requires the modeling of many different, usually complex, graphical objects. How these objects are represented in the system plays a major part in determining the capabilities of the system. We present an efficient, flexible and extensible object description language used in virtual world system development at the Naval Postgraduate School.

Availability evaluation of Software architecture of object oriented Style using coloured Petri nets

Software architecture is one of the most fundamental products in the process of software development in the areas of behavioral or non- behavioral features like availability or transformability change. There are different ways to evaluate software architecture one of which is the creation of application model. An executable model of software architecture is an official description of architectu...

3D molecular graphics on the World Wide Web.

The Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) is a new tool for the information transfer on the World Wide Web (WWW). We present a short description and some applications in the field of molecular graphics of this new, object oriented language. It is shown that the usage of VRML is a very efficient and powerful method for the transport of molecular models over the net.

High Level 3d Object Selection for the Unicon Language

Most computer graphics applications depend heavily on user input. Within many games and virtual environments, for example, user input is essential to create and/or direct actions within a virtual world. Much of this input comes through direct interaction with the virtual world’s content, usually using a mouse. Most programming languages' graphics libraries provide low level APIs for 3D object s...
