The Virtuosi Project
نویسنده
چکیده
Virtuosi is a major UK project to explore how virtual environments can be used to support cooperative work across distributed real organisations. Its main aim is to develop a sound framework for constructing CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) systems that integrates our emerging understanding of natural and effective social structures with the state of the art in virtual reality, multimedia communications and distributed systems. This framework will be evaluated within two large pilot applications, one distributed across cables development and manufacturing sites in several countries and the other in the fashion industry. The project will also contribute towards new methods for analysing, deploying and evaluating such systems.

A Virtual-Machine-Based Middleware
Currently, a number of distributed software systems development tools exist, but typically they are designed either to satisfy industrial standards – industrial perspective – or to experiment new concepts – research perspective. There is a need for software development tools where programmers can both learn about distributed computing – pedagogical perspective – and build quality distributed so...
متن کاملNEUROwords Dr. Thomas Willis' famous eponym: the circle of Willis.
Thomas Willis is considered one of the greatest neuroanatomists of all time. His name is usually associated with the circle of Willis, an anastomotic circle at the base of the brain, but his work also formed the foundation of basic neuroanatomical description and nomenclature, and comparative neuroanatomy. He was born on 27 January 1621 at Great Bedwyn in Wiltshire, England, the son of a farmer...
متن کاملDistributed Garbage Collection in a Middleware for Mobile Applications
A middleware for object-oriented software systems which provides for transparent remote method invocation and transparent object mobility may require a very flexible object reference model. Distributed garbage collection algorithms, on the other hand, rely on simple object reference models, either to count object references or to traverse object references to mark unreachable objects. Thus, imp...
متن کاملPushing the limits of ATC user interface design beyond S&M interaction: the DigiStrips experience
Most designs proposed for air traffic control workstations are based on user interface designs from the early 1980s, though research in user interaction has produced innovations since then. Project Toccata federates a series of research held at CENA on new user interfaces and services for ATC. Virtuosi and DigiStrips are two prototypes developed for Toccata, which make use of touch screens and ...
متن کاملLocke on measurement.
Like many virtuosi in his day, the English philosopher John Locke maintained an active interest in metrology. Yet for Locke, this was no mere hobby: questions concerning measurement were also implicated in his ongoing philosophical project to develop an account of human understanding. This paper follows Locke's treatment of four problems of measurement from the early Drafts A and B of the Essay...
