Virtual Environments for Unreliable Extensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe how virtualization techniques can be used to address the problems of reliability, security, and backward compatibility in extensible systems. We specify the conditions under which this approach can be applied and present an architecture for its implementation: VEXE, or Virtual EXtension Environments. Further, we detail our experience with implementing VEXE’DD, a system for increasing the reliability of Windows device drivers based on this architecture. This study extends, and puts into context, recent work on reliable extensibility mechanisms.

متن کاملExtending VRML to Support Collaborative Virtual Environments
In this paper we will give a short overview of the areas where VRML —the Virtual Reality Modelling Language— has to be extended in order to support collaborative virtual environments on the Internet. We will present extensions which allow an adequate representation of the individual participant within the virtual world. We will show how our approach supports shared interactions and behaviours, ...
