Coordination Mechanisms for Collaborative Virtual Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to be effectively used as collaborative work tools, developers of virtual environments should invest, among other aspects, in the coordination of users’ activities. The goal of this work is to present coordination mechanisms that may be reused in different implementations of collaborative virtual environments (CVEs).

Coordination of Collaborative Activities: A Framework for the Definition of Tasks Interdependencies
The Coordination of interdependencies between tasks in collaborative environments is a very important and difJicult endeavor. The separation between tasks and interdependencies allows f o r the use of different coordination policies in the same collaborative environment by changing only the coordination mechanisms that control the interdependencies. This paper presents a framework for the defin...
متن کاملCoordination components for collaborative virtual environments
This paper deals with the behavior of virtual environments from the collaboration point-of-view, in which actors (human or virtual beings) interact and collaborate by means of interdependent tasks. In this sense, actors may realize tasks that are dependent on tasks performed by other actors, while the interdependencies between tasks (through resource management and temporal relations) delineate...
متن کاملGesture coordination in collaborative tasks through augmented haptic feedthrough
This article explores the use of haptic feedback for interpersonal communication in Collaborative Virtual Environments. The investigated approach enables the improvement of communication and coordination during closely coupled collaboration presenting several communication constraints (e.g., large and complex environments, distant collaboration, etc.). After the presentation of involved communi...
متن کاملHaptic interpersonal communication: gesture coordination for collaborative virtual assembly tasks
This article explores the use of haptic feedback for interpersonal communication in Collaborative Virtual Environments. After a detailed presentation of all involved communication mechanisms, we propose the investigation of low level communication approach through the feedthrough mechanism. This channel is used to communicate kinematic information about a partner’s gestures during closely coupl...
متن کاملManaging Network Troubles while Interacting within Collaborative Virtual Environments
We are interested in real time collaborative interactions within Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVE). This domain relies on the low latency offered by high speed networks. Participants of networked collaborative virtual environments can suffer from misunderstanding weird behavior of some objects of the virtual universe, especially when low level network troubles occur during a collaborativ...
