The paper addresses the purposes and design decisions produced while developing a peer-to-peer virtual world platform. The work is being done within the FP7 VirtualLife project. Th...
Longitudinal studies of human-virtual agent interaction are expensive and time consuming to conduct. We present a new concept and tool for conducting such studies—the virtual la...
In this paper we study the implementability of different classes of failure detectors in several models of partial synchrony. We show that no failure detector with perpetual accur...
Virtual teaming involving online presentations and peer reviews support the notion of collaborative student learning, whilst preparing them for the virtual work environment. Howev...
