چکیده

In this paper we describe a novel platform for virtual worlds called Global Lab. Through example applications, we demonstrate the capabilities of this platform for ubiquitous simulation and experimentation for sensor-based systems. Furthermore, with multimedia information representation and support for bi-directional communication real and virtual devices are connected in the example of a participatory ecosystem scenario. The Global Lab contains multimodal presentation and interaction techniques which enhance universal communication. The overall motivation is to provide a framework with strong support for collaboration in virtual worlds for research purposes.

Potential for “ Reverse Distributed Computing ” Experiments in Second Life : real - time

In this paper, a methodology called “reverse distributed computing” will be introduced. Second Life provides a means to conduct experimental research in a way that reduces barriers related to physical space and conceptual understanding. An emerging example of this is the author's own Second Life location (the Media-based Computation and Natural Systems Lab). This is comparable to distributed co...

Agent-based Simulation of Pedestrian Evacuation in Virtual Geographic Environment

Agent-based model has found great interest in simulation of pedestrian evacuation since it better represent the intelligent and self-organized behavior patterns of pedestrians. However, model validation and the user’s cognitive perspective have always been the two challenges in agent-based simulation. Therefore, this paper presents an approach to implement agent-based simulation of pedestrian e...
