Abstract

This article describes a method called MAVD, which allows to develop dynamic virtual environments where intelligent agents can intervene. Virtual environments are real or imagined three-dimensional space, generated by computer, with which the user can interact. Dynamic three-dimensional environments, allow to create virtual environments that are generated automatically according to changes in the objects that make up the scenes of virtual environments. Are indeed distributed systems, where users share a state and whose primary purpose is to provide users with the illusion that all are seeing the same things and interacting with each other in real time. In pursuing this study, we analyzed the existing methods for the creation and generation of static virtual environments, and different paradigms for implementing agents, in order to propose a new method for their development. This method arises from the integration of concepts from the areas of Software Engineering, Virtual Environments, Artificial Intelligence and Distributed Systems.
