GONCALVES, P. e PUTNIK, G. D.. A Virtual Communication Interface Called E-Mask. Tékhne [online]. 2008, n.9, pp.111-130. ISSN 1645-9911.
This paper presents a new agent-based Virtual Communication Interface (VCI), called E-Mask, which hides the real appearance of its interlocutors. After a contextualization of Microsoft Software Agent technology, we focus on the implementation of virtuality in the BM_Virtual Enterprise Architecture Reference Model (BM-VEARM) with human-like characters. Other applications of agent software as well as the VCI are also covered. We find that the E-Mask interface may be a dynamic reconfiguration enabler in Virtual Enterprise (VE) Networks since the communication time between end-users is shortened.
