Other ships may also appear on the screen, each powered by its own simulation eng<strong>in</strong>e and by its own crew<br />

(<strong>in</strong>terest group) with its own collection of roles. Scripts may also <strong>in</strong>terfere with the operation of these ships and<br />

watch the behavior of their crews. Because of the nature of the Java framework, other simulation eng<strong>in</strong>es will<br />

automatically jo<strong>in</strong> the simulation if they are present. The whole exercise need not be set up <strong>in</strong> advance, but can<br />

grow and adapt on the fly. These new simulation eng<strong>in</strong>es might be served from the same server, or served from<br />

different servers so that the total learn<strong>in</strong>g experience may be distributed dynamically among many computers<br />

as comput<strong>in</strong>g loads require.<br />

Other Instructional Uses<br />

The Java Framework is useful for many other purposes other than simulations. For example, a medical<br />

<strong>in</strong><strong>format</strong>ics version is under development. The follow<strong>in</strong>g diagram illustrates its use <strong>in</strong> a medical<br />

<strong>in</strong><strong>format</strong>ics/conferenc<strong>in</strong>g mode. Two doctors are review<strong>in</strong>g the same x-ray. Small video views of the<br />

participants are <strong>in</strong> the top right hand corner. In<strong>format</strong>ion from a variety of database sources is displayed on<br />

each screen.<br />
