When blind people wish to walk through an area not fully known to them, they have to prepare themselves even more thoroughly than sighted pedestrians. We propose a new approach to...
Wide-area distributed applications are frequently limited by the performance of Internet data transfer. We argue that the principle cause of this effect is the poor interaction be...
Multi-agent simulations aim at representing the dynamics of complex systems as resulting from multiple interactions between autonomous entities including their own perception of lo...
This paper describes the use of the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) in the VIM - Visual Interface to Manufacturing system. The VIM prototype demonstrates the technical fe...

Multi Agent Based Simulation (MABS) has been used mostly in purely social contexts. However, compared to other approaches, e.g., traditional discrete event simulation, object-orien...
