“…They have been around since 1979 (Bartle, 1990), and just in the last few years moved out of the ''game'' arena into educational and cor± porate environments for distance learning, collaborative learning, literacy support (at all grade levels, including adult), corporate meeting support, pro± fessional organizations, and even technical conferences (Bellman, 1994 ;Landauer & Bellman, 1996b ;Polichar, 1996 ;Bellman, 1997 ;Landauer & Bellman, 1998a ;Landauer & Bellman, 1998d ;Polichar, 1997).…”

“…Interact ion spaces are computer± mediated virtual places in which com± puter programs and humans meet, because the computer programs have been embodied as users of the MUD, or as agents within it (Landauer & Bellman, 1996b ;Landauer & Bellman, 1997b ;Landauer & Bellman, 1998a).…”

“…An approach is sketched out that addresses these difficulties (Laudauer & Bellman, 1998a ;Landauer & Bellman, 1998d)± migration of construction languages (Landauer & Bellman, 1996b), multiple construction languages, and model integration in single and distributed servers (Walter & Bellman, 1990). It does not solve the problem of appropriate semantics for a multi± plicitous world, but it is a very exible and powerful integration method, and something like it is necessary for combining disparate partial solutions to semantic problems.…”

T his paper is about how developers will know whether intelligent virtual environments (IVEs) are appropriate for the tasks set to them. T here are several important research questions that need to be answered before they can even begin to build IVEs for some of the more promising applications, such as entertainment, education, collaboration on research and development, military, and other training.T he main technical point is that every aspect of any IVE involves models, and the modeling needs to be addressed very directly and explicitly.T his paper is more for the developers of such systems and the potential customers, than for the users. More is written about what is important to consider as one contemplates, for example, a difficult collaborative task, than about what it will be like to live in these IVEs.T he authors believe that IVEs must be expanded to become virtual worlds (VW s), and that the modeling sophistication required for any of the serious applications described above is much more than is currently available in the VW s seen, even the ones with good graphics.Finally, the connection between Virtual Reality and CyberSpace is made, and the authors explain their expectations will be explained for the future of CyberSpace.

“…We utilize Bellman and Landauer's Wrappings architecture [25][26][27][28] to manage the system's hardware and software resources, as well as to provide data on the internal processes and procedures actually used during operation. Wrappings treats providers of computation or information as resources and requests for actions or information as posed problems.…”

In this paper, we describe the influence of Richard Bellman's work on our research. The influence is primarily felt in the attitude we take towards the research, which is that whenever the right mathematical tool for a problem that we are considering is not available, then some mathematical invention is required. We describe our research studies in software and system engineering for what we have Ž called Constructed Complex Systems we call them that to distinguish them from the mathematically more popular use of the term to refer to studies of fractals, chaos, . and other behaviors in dynamical systems , which are large systems mediated or managed by computing systems, and the Integration Science that we believe is necessary for adequately designing, building, and analyzing such systems. The two technical topic areas we describe are Wrappings, which is our knowledge-based integration infrastructure for Constructed Complex Systems, and Virtual Worlds, which provide a very interesting testbed for integrating a wide range of processes, from human activities to formal systems. In both cases, we describe some of the mathematical implications and requirements of our approach. ᮊ 2000 Academic Press
