SOCIETY of SIMULATIONS:
SHARED REALITY
• Shared Reality:
– Shared aspects of a Member’s s models
– Does not manage how the Members operate
– Persistent information space
– The intelligence for transforming information within Shared Reality into
a form a consumer can digest and for synchronizing a consumer with
produced data is pushed from the data exchange mechanism of Shared
Reality onto the linkages (Liaisons) that connect the Members to Shared
Reality.
– Shared Reality is lightweight, in the sense that overheads increase less
than linearly as the number of Members or the amount of data being
exchanged increases.
– Decouples the producers and consumers of data
• Member’s s design is separated from the data exchange mechanism.
• Extensions to a Member’s s design do not require changes to the design of
Shared Reality.
