From Graphs to Euclidean Virtual Worlds: Visualization of 3D Electronic Institutions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose an algorithm for automatic transformation of a graph into a 3D Virtual World and its Euclidean map, using the rectangular dualization technique. The nodes of the initial graph are transformed into rooms, the connecting arcs between nodes determine which rooms have to be placed next to each other and define the positions of the doors connecting those rooms. The proposed algorithm is general enough to be used for automatic generation of 3D Virtual Worlds representation of any planar graph, however, our research is particulary focused on the automatic generation of 3D Electronic Institutions from the Performative Structure graph.

متن کامل3D Electronic Institutions - a Formal Methodology for Virtual Worlds
In this paper we analyze the characteristics of the Virtual Worlds technology and present a need for formal software methodologies for the development of Virtual Worlds. The proposed methodology, 3D Electronic Institutions separates the development into specification of constraints of the interactions of participants, design and visualization of the 3D environment and programming the basic beha...
متن کاملVIXEE an innovative communication infrastructure for virtual institutions
Virtual Institutions (VI) provide many interesting possibilities for social virtual environments, collaborative spaces and simulation environments. VIs combine Electronic Institutions and 3D Virtual Worlds. While Electronic Institutions are used to establish the regulations which structure participants interactions, Virtual Worlds are used to facilitate human participation. In this paper we pro...
متن کاملA Methodology for Developing Multiagent Systems as 3D Electronic Institutions
In this paper we propose viewing Virtual Worlds as open Multiagent Systems and propose the 3D Electronic Institutions methodology for their development. 3D Electronic Institutions are Virtual Worlds with normative regulation of interactions. More precisely, the methodology we propose here helps in separating the development of Virtual Worlds based on the concept of 3D Electronic Institutions in...
متن کاملExecution infrastructure for normative virtual environments
Virtual Institutions (VIs) have proven to be adequate to engineer applications where participants can be humans and software agents. VIs combine Electronic Institutions (EIs) and 3D Virtual Worlds (VW). In this context, Electronic Institutions are used to establish the regulations that structure interactions and support software agent participation while Virtual Worlds facilitate human particip...
