NDLI: 3D agent-based virtual communities

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Huang, Zhisheng Visser, Cees Eliëns, Anton
Abstract	In this paper we propose an approach to 3D agent-based virtual communities in which autonomous agents are participants in VRML-based virtual worlds to enhance the interaction with users or serve as intelligent navigation assistants. In addition, an agent communication language (ACL) is designed as a high-level communication facility, in particular for the realization of shared objects in virtual communities. As a typical example of 3D agent-based virtual communities, a VRML-based multi-user soccer game has been developed and implemented in the distributed logic programming language DLP. We discuss how DLP can be used for the implementation of 3D agent-based virtual communities.
