A prototype environment is presented for blow molded automotive parts design.
The prototype environment integrated a number of distributed data sources and applications to support several processes typically conducted within municipal sewer and water departments.
In previous work, we proposed the prototype environment SNet for the representation and dynamic simulation of agent-based designs for inter-organizational networks.
In the context of our implemented prototype environment, the iRoom interactive workspace, we describe the principles that led us to this design choice, the modifications we made to the basic tuplespace model to improve its suitability for ubiquitous computing, our day-to-day experience over the past year and a half putting these principles into practice, and some avenues for future research.
This prototype environment aims to extend the idea of a musical instrument into a new musical/audio system, incorporating traditional musical concepts side by side with actual music concepts, in order to progress one step further in the music/sound composing and performing approaches.
With this prototype environment, a new education system may emerge promoting an efficient and advanced learning.
It presents the ArchReco prototype environment and presented the results from a user based evaluation that was performed.
We have used Quanser rapid prototype environment QUARC [26] that has been used for running several real-time experiments such as double inverted pendulum control, unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles, and mobile robots [27].
The argument of such initiatives is that designers need prototyping environments to experiment with new ideas, to make proof of concepts, and to test such prototypes under controllable but real conditions.
OGC Testbed initiatives are fast-paced, multi-stakeholder collaborative efforts to define, design, develop, and test candidate interface and encoding specifications; to experiment with new architectural approaches and patterns; to develop guides on spatio-temporal information technologies; and to serve as rapid prototyping environments for general geospatial IT challenges.
