Managing large scale virtual environments using portals
(2004-12-17)
This article describes a technique for Large Scale Virtual Environments (LSVEs) partitioning in hexagon cells and using portal in the cell interfaces to reduce the number of messages on the network and the complexity of ...
Analysis of scalability in distributed virtual environments using the application-layer anycasting
(2014-01-01)
The development of large-scale distributed virtual environments deals with restrictions imposed by the infrastructure of communication systems. The scalability in those systems is an important issue to consider on designing ...
Applying GIS tools for analysing urban thermal environment
(2006-12-01)
A methodology for analyzing the solar access and its influence on both air temperature and thermal comfort of the urban environment was here developed by applying the potentiality of GIS tools. Urban canyons in a specific ...

(Elsevier B.V., 2014-01-01)
This paper describes a 3D virtual lab environment that was developed using OpenSim software integrated into Moodle. Virtuald software tool was used to provide pedagogical support to the lab by enabling to create online ...
A STORM* environment for building multimedia presentations
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Computer Soc, 1998-01-01)
This paper describes an environment for constructing multimedia applications which are used to present different multimedia database objects in accordance with spatiotemporal constraints and from different sources. The ...
Use of a semantically grained database system for distribution and control within design environments
(1997-12-01)
This paper presents a technique to share the data stored in an object-oriented database aimed at designing environments. This technique shares data between two related databases, called the Original and Product databases, ...
Archives information publishing new design in post-custodial regime: The National Archives Experience Digital Vaults
(2012-11-22)
The uses of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Web environments for creation, treatment and availability of information have supported the emergence of new social-cultural patterns represented by convergences ...
Behavior of the PMD coefficient of optical links under influence of mechanical and thermal effects
(2004-12-01)
This papers presents results on the variation of the PMD coefficient of optical links under influence of mechanical tests, such as tensile strength, bending and compression, and also during the application of a thermal ...
How bioinformatics enables livestock applied sciences in the genomic era
(2012-09-05)
This review paper presents the three main approaches currently used in livestock genomic sciences where the bioinfomatics plays a critical role. They are named as Genomic Selection (GS), Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) ...
