Networked virtual environments (NVEs) are computergenerated virtual worlds where users interact by exchanging messages via network connections. Each NVE user often pays attention ...
Basically, instrumental conditioning is learning through consequences: Behavior that produces positive results (high “instrumental response”) is reinforced, and that which pro...
In multi-user networked virtual environments such as Second Life, 3D streaming techniques have been used to progressively download and render 3D objects and terrain, so that a ful...
We consider the problem of indexing high-dimensional data for answering (approximate) similarity-search queries. Similarity indexes prove to be important in a wide variety of sett...
This paper describes a novel approach for obtaining semantic interoperability among data sources in a bottom-up, semiautomatic manner without relying on pre-existing, global seman...
