A framework to dynamically manage distributed virtual environments

From LRDE

Abstract

In this paper, we present the project urbi, a framework to dynamically manage distributed virtual environments (DVEs). This framework relies on a dedicated scripting languagegoal, which is typed, object-oriented and dynamically bound. goal is interpreted by the application hosted by each machine and is designed to handle efficiently both network communications and interactivity. Finally, we have made an unusual design decision: our project is based on a functional programming language, ocaml.
