    MiRA - mixed reality agents

    No full text
    In recent years, an increasing number of Mixed Reality (MR) applications have been developed using agent technology—both for the underlying software and as an interface metaphor. However, no unifying field or theory currently exists that can act as a common frame of reference for these varied works. As a result, much duplication of research is evidenced in the literature. This paper seeks to fill this important gap by outlining ‘‘for the first time’’ a formal field of research that has hitherto gone unacknowledged, namely the field of Mixed Reality Agents (MiRAs), which are defined as agents embodied in a Mixed Reality environment. Based on this definition, a taxonomy is offered that classifies MiRAs along three axes: agency, based on the weak and strong notions outlined by Wooldridge and Jennings (1995); corporeal presence, which describes the degree of virtual or physical representation (body) of a MiRA; and interactive capacity, which characterises its ability to sense and act on the virtual and physical environment. Furthermore, this paper offers the first comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art of MiRA research and places each project within the proposed taxonomy. Finally, common trends and future directions for MiRA research are discussed. By defining Mixed Reality Agents as a formal field, establishing a common taxonomy, and retrospectively placing existing MiRA projects within it, future researchers can effectively position their research within this landscape, thereby avoiding duplication and fostering reuse and interoperability.Science Foundation Irelandau,ti,ke,SB-09/09/201

    El presente Trabajo de Titulación se centra en el diseño arquitectónico de un centro de integración cultural en la ciudad de Mira. Este proyecto se ha desarrollado tras un exhaustivo análisis de diversas problemáticas identificadas en el entorno, con el objetivo de contribuir significativamente a mejorar las áreas públicas, la imagen urbana y la revitalización de áreas que, debido a su falta de uso o abandono, impactan negativamente en la ciudad. La ciudad de Mira se distingue por su rica herencia cultural, que ha perdurado a lo largo de los años gracias a una valiosa tradición transmitida de generación en generación. Sin embargo, a pesar de esta profunda conexión cultural, carece de espacios y equipamientos destinados a promover la difusión y conservación de esta riqueza patrimonial. Esta carencia representa una limitación para la población local, que ha demostrado su capacidad de adaptación en formas informales. A pesar de ello, estas adaptaciones no han logrado impedir el declive de tradiciones, costumbres y expresiones únicas de la sociedad y la ciudad. En este contexto, este trabajo busca llenar un vacío importante al proponer el diseño de un centro de integración cultural. Este espacio no solo será un punto de reunión y expresión para la cuidad, sino que también funcionará como un catalizador para la preservación y promoción de la rica herencia cultural de Mira. A través de un diseño arquitectónico bien concebido y funcional, se aspira a revitalizar la ciudad y sus espacios públicos, otorgando a la población un lugar donde la cultura pueda florecer, evolucionar y ser apreciada en su totalidad.This thesis focuses on the architectural design of a cultural integration center in the city of Mira. This project has been developed after a thorough analysis of various problems identified in the environment, with the aim of contributing significantly to improve public areas, urban image and the revitalization of areas that, due to lack of use or abandonment, have a negative impact on the city. The city of Mira is distinguished by its rich cultural heritage, which has endured over the years thanks to a valuable tradition passed down from generation to generation. However, despite this deep cultural connection, it lacks spaces and facilities to promote the dissemination and conservation of this rich heritage. This lack represents a limitation for the local population, which has demonstrated its ability to adapt in informal ways. Despite this, these adaptations have not managed to prevent the decline of traditions, customs and unique expressions of society and the city. In this context, this work seeks to fill an important gap by proposing the design of a cultural integration center. This space will not only be a point of gathering and expression for the city, but will also function as a catalyst for the preservation and promotion of Mira's rich cultural heritage. Through a well-conceived and functional architectural design, it aims to revitalize the city and its public spaces, giving the population a place where culture can flourish, evolve and be fully appreciated

    A Bayesian High-Frequency Estimator of the Multivariate Covariance of Noisy and Asynchronous Returns

    No full text
    A multivariate positive definite estimator of the integrated covariance matrix of noisy and asynchronously observed asset returns is proposed. We adopt a Bayesian Dynamic Linear Model where microstructure noise is interpreted as measurement error, and asynchronous trading as missing observations in an otherwise synchronous series. Missing observations are treated as any other parameter, as typical in a Bayesian framework. An augmented Gibbs algorithm is used since all full conditionals are available and its convergence and robustness are discussed. A realistic simulation study compares our estimator with existing alternatives, under different liquidity and microstructure noise conditions. The results suggest that our estimator is superior in terms of RMSE particularly under severe conditions, such as portfolios of assets with heterogeneous liquidity and high level of microstructure noise. The application to the empirical dataset of ten tick-by-tick stock price series confirms the simulation results
