This project is being funded by ONR and is exploring how collaborative virtual environments can be composed from existing
[ Stotts Purtilo ] It is currently using the Polylith software bus [ Purtilo ] for interconnecting the virtual environments. Polylith in an example of a generic technology for interconnecting arbitrary distributed applications. Our work will extend such technology with higher-level abstractions that make it easier to interconnect those distributed applications that support collaboration.
