A Communication Virtual Machine [PDF]
30th Annual International Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC'06), 2006 The convergence of data, voice and multimedia communication over digital networks, coupled with continuous improvement in network capacity and reliability has significantly enriched the ways we communicate. However, the stovepipe approach used to develop today?s communication applications and tools results in rigid technology, limited utility, lengthy ...

Organization of Virtual Communities [PDF]
2006 Semantics, Knowledge and Grid, Second International Conference on, 2006 Locating suitable resources within a Grid system is a computationally intensive process, with no guarantee of quality and suitability of the discovered resources. An alternative approach is to categorize resources based on the services they provide -- leading to the interaction of peers with common goals to form societies/communities.

Direct Communication versus Virtual Communication in Virtual Teams
Procedia Technology, 2014 AbstractSeveral studies suggest that computer-mediated communication can lead to decreases in group effectiveness and reduce satisfaction levels in terms of trust and comfort of its users. Supported by an experiment, where the emotional or affective aspects of communication were tested with the experimentation of two architectures, Direct Communication

From Virtual Environment to Virtual Community [PDF]
, 2001 We discuss a virtual reality theater environment and its transition to a virtual community by adding domain agents and by allowing multiple users to visit this environment. The environment has been built using VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language). We discuss how our ideas about this environment changed in time by adding more facilities to it and by

Formalizing the evolution of virtual communities [PDF]
Information Systems, 2007 Collaboration increasingly takes place in virtual communities using the Internet. These communities are socio-technical systems that tend to evolve strongly and become more complex over time. To ensure that the changes to these complex socio-technical systems are meaningful and acceptable to the community as a whole, the relevant members of the ...

Reputation Lending for Virtual Communities [PDF]
22nd International Conference on Data Engineering Workshops (ICDEW'06), 2006 Reputation management schemes have recently emerged as a mechanism for improving trust and security in peer-topeer networks. A new entrant in a network with reputation management can either be given the benefit of doubt and be treated like a trusted (or semi-trusted) peer until it misbehaves or it can be assumed to be untrusted and have to earn the ...

Virtual Community Support in Telecare [PDF]
, 2004 A few virtual community support systems, with some unsophisticated tools, appeared at the beginning of the era of Internet availability and pervasive computing. Ever since however, many such systems have emerged focusing on classified interests and motivations, and aiming to give people more possibilities to socialize and keep in touch with each other.

Emotional Communication with Virtual Humans.
, 2003 In this paper, we present our approach to modelling perceptive 3D virtual characters with emotion and personality. The characters are powered by a dialogue system that consists of a large set of basic interactions between the user and the computer. These interactions are encoded in finite state machines.
