Abstract

In this paper, we present the project URBI ET ORBI, a framework to dynamically manage distributed virtual environments (DVEs). This framework relies on a dedicated scripting language, Goal, which is typed, object-oriented and dynamically bound. Goal is interpreted by the application hosted by each machine and is designed to handle efficiently both network communications and interactivity. Finally, we have made an unusual design decision: our project is based on a functional programming language, Objective Caml.
