“…Computerized simulations are necessary to meet the growing demands of cross cultural training. The notion of selective-fidelity for simulations [7] places focus on aspects of the real situation that make a functional difference from the human user's perspective. We believe the current bottleneck for effective and widespread computer based training lies in fidelity of social conduct, or etiquette.…”

Computerized training systems may be the only viable solution to accommodate the quickly evolving learning needs, the short lead time, and the large number of students that must prepare for cross-cultural interactions. However, current systems place emphasis on language training, which is only part of the equation in effective communication. Knowledge about culturally dependent social norms directly impacts the interaction outcome. A dynamic, customizable, computationally tractable model for the code of conduct, or etiquette, can alert us of the specific communication protocols of groups of interest, and can prevent over-generalizations which can be detrimental to the end goal. We may not consciously care, or even be aware of etiquette, but it impacts our trust and affect for individuals, and ultimately shapes our subsequent actions. We have adapted a socio-linguistic model of human-human interaction for use in language and culture training. This computational model increases the social intelligence of virtual actors by allowing them to act and react to human students in ways that are more aligned with the humans they simulate. Capabilities for virtual agents to reason about and select actions not only enhances interaction fidelity, but can also result in time and cost savings in training scenario generation and maintenance.

“…437 These ideas live on in modern German law, in that author's rights adhere to the monist theory and are indeed seen not as technically property rights, but as Immaterialgüterrechte, a form of sui generis rights, but modern German doctrine is sufficiently pragmatic to recognise the exclusivity of the author's right and therefore views it as a quasi-dingliches Recht ('quasi-proprietary right'). 438 If one looks at the powers which an assignment of the economic rights in a dualist author's rights system (such as France) or an exclusive licence in a monist system (such as Germany) entails, 439 then it becomes apparent that at least from a functional perspective, these powers are functionally powers of property. Thus author's rights should be seen as property in essence.…”

can entail. It will be necessary to apply property theory (within legal, normative, systems 2) to the concept of copyright for the understanding of copyright as property. This aspect poses difficulties. Traditional property theorists want to apply their property conceptions to conventional private property, rather than intellectual property, 3 sometimes not even to any kind of intangible property, 4 and they tend to use copyright as the most significant example for their argument. Some intellectual property theorists prefer to see intellectual property rights not as property rights at all. 5 This diffuse scepticism is ultimately toothless. In fact, copyright is a particularly good case in point within the development of a more general property theory that enables a discussion of proprietary powers and their potential dangers in the concrete context of copyright protection. It is arguably even accurate to say that one understands the legal concept of dematerialised property and of 1 This property-based definition is followed up in CDPA 1988, s. 90: 'Copyright is transmissible … as personal or moveable property', and s. 96: 'In an action for infringement of copyright all such relief … is available to the plaintiff as is available in respect of the infringement of any other property right.' 2 The same approach by Penner (2000: 2). The discussion is with regard to property in law, thus the moral and political aspects of property are disregarded in the present context. For a recent discussion on the moral right to own intellectual property, see e.g. Wilson (2009: 393, 395) who rejects such a moral right. 3

“…This proposed architecture describes the components necessary to implement Selective-Fidelity Simulation, though not the implementation itself. The rest of this paper is dedicated to explaining a more specific implementation of Selective-Fidelity Simulation using concepts of High Level Architecture and its implementation, the Run-Time Infrastructure [2]. The following year and a half was then characterized by a series of 6-month specification update checkpoints that enabled the specification to mature.…”

Using the high level architecture to implement selective-fidelity

For decades, computer simulation professionals have taken numerous routes to improve the performance of their simulation systems.These measures have included, but are not limited to improved data and behavior representations, advanced development architectures, and enhanced graphics technologies. Another remarkable concept used to improve the performance and capabilities has been the use of distributed computing techniques, dubbed distributed simulation. A new and potentially high impacting expansion of distributing simulation involves tying that methodology with that of selective fidelity, a concept that allows a simulation system to modify its own level of fidelity based on what aspects of the simulation are important or interesting to a user or observer. Using multiple simulation systems tied together by a run-time infrastructure (RTI), the software implementation of the High Level Architecture (HLA), a selective fidelity federation can be implemented by changing ownership of simulation objects between federates, depending on what aspects of the simulation are important. This paper describes the theoretical and implementation details involved with building such a system. Included in this description are explanations of the concepts of fidelity and selective fidelity, a summary of HLA and the RTI, a detailed account of the architecture necessary to implement such a scheme, and a section predicting possible applications for such an idea.
