Abstract: Federated Virtual Environment (FVE) is designed to allow its users to collaborate within a virtual space organized into a number of virtual buildings with floors and rooms. Based on the concepts of Collaborative Virtual Workspace (CVW), FVE distinguishes itself by middleware, document sharing with version control, server extensibility support using Java-based scripting languages, and a revised client interface. Our research focused on multiple scripting language support, federated server support, server-side relational database support, a client-side administration tool, and a client-side MOO programming tool. The major contribution of this thesis is that it explores an extension of FVE functionality using verbs written in scripting languages that run on the Java Virtual Machine.
