Extendable Simulation Framework for Virtual World Environment Based on the DEVS Formalism

Abstract

A virtual world is an interactive virtual environment in which users interact with each other with computers, and can be used as a platform for virtual training activities. In order to enhance the trainee’s immersive experience, domain-specific simulation models are required for virtual world services. For this reason, we propose an extendable simulation framework for the virtual world. The simulation framework is composed of Core Simulation Framework and Virtual Level Architecture. By utilizing the Core Simulation Framework and the Virtual Level Architecture, the content creator of the virtual world can create extendable simulations for domain-specific content.
