ABSTRACT

The chapter discusses the Spatial Grasp model and resultant Spatial Grasp Technology (SGT) by which distributed worlds can be navigated by active self-spreading scenarios written in high-level Spatial Grasp Language (SGL). It provides the main features of SGL and summarizes its structure in textual and graphical forms. It also explains how SGL scenarios evolve in distributed environments and describes distributed SGL implementation capabilities, revealing the interpreter’s internal organization and its spatial tracking and control system. The chapter then compares the described technology with the works on mobile agents and the related language Telescript.
