“…UBIWISE consists of two simulators; UbiSim, which generates 3D virtual space, and WISE, which displays how devices are running through 2D visual graphics. In addition, the research team in Trinity College has proposed the simulator called TATUS [6]. TATUS can simulate a ubiquitous application in a 3D virtual space.…”

“…However, these existing simulators focus only on visible or audible physical phenomena. On the other hand, TATUS [6] simulates the effect of human behavior with respect to variation of packet loss ratio in a wireless LAN depending on how frequently human users cross the line-of-sight between devices. However, other invisible physical quantities are not simulated interactively with devices and human users.…”

Abstract. In this paper, we propose a simulator for facilitating reliable and inexpensive development of ubiquitous applications where each application software controls a lot of information appliances based on the state of external environment, user's contexts and preferences. The proposed simulator realistically reproduces behavior of application software on virtual devices in a virtual 3D space. For this purpose, the simulator provides functions to facilitate deployment of virtual devices in a 3D space, simulates communication among the devices from MAC level to application level, and reproduces the change of physical quantities (e.g., temperature) caused by devices (e.g., air conditioners). Also, we keep software portability between virtual devices and real devices. As the most prominent function of the simulator, we provide a systematic and visual testing method for testing whether a given application software satisfies specified requirements.

“…The implementation of a virtual test bed is used for evaluating human interaction with ubiquitous computing environments. This evaluation takes place in a virtual simulator [9]. In this case the simulator provides a means of collecting rich location and personal information in a controlled environment before deploying to a live site.…”

Abstract-When deploying collaborative applications such as Instant Messaging in ubiquitous computing environments significant enhancements can be afforded by offering additional context information, such as location information. However, such environments exert key challenges such as increased diversity of ownership and ad hoc, intermittent network connectivity that suits more decentralized computing architectures. This paper examines how a migration to a more decentralized collaborative architecture can be achieved together with a decentralization of the management of collaborative activities.

This paper presents the development of a game‐based virtual laboratory environment for gear train design. This virtual laboratory environment goes beyond static demonstrations or conventional computer simulations and provides the students with the flexibility to perform various experiments related to the fundamental law of gearing and the concepts of planetary gear motion. In this virtual laboratory environment, the students, the instructor and the teaching assistant are represented by and interact as virtual characters (avatars). The scripted scenario for the laboratory exercise was first piloted in a junior‐level course for mechanical engineering majors. Assessment tools such as pre‐ and post‐experiment tests are an integral part of the laboratory environment and form the basis for providing different levels of support to the students at every step of the laboratory exercises. Furthermore, the laboratory environment can be equipped with functionality for monitoring the students' progress and learning outcomes, thus enabling skill‐based assessment.© 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
