Abstract
This paper presents the extension of a meta-model (MAM5) and a framework based on the model (JaCalIVE) for developing intelligent virtual environments. The goal of this extension is to develop augmented mirror worlds that represent a real and virtual world coupled, so that the virtual world not only reflects the real one, but also complements it. A new component called a smart resource artifact, that enables modelling and developing devices to access the real physical world, and a human in the loop agent to place a human in the system have been included in the meta-model and framework. The proposed extension of MAM5 has been tested by simulating a light control system where agents can access both virtual and real sensor/actuators through the smart resources developed. The results show that the use of real environment interactive elements (smart resource artifacts) in agent-based simulations allows to minimize the error between simulated and real system.

Summary
The emergence of new virtual technologies such as HoloLens (https://www.microsoft.com/ microsoft-hololens/en-us), in which the world is augmented using virtual objects is a first step in the creation of an augmented world. Augmented worlds were defined by Gelernter [1] as “software models of some chunk of reality, some piece of the real world going on outside your windows.”. The mirror world is based on the concept of an augmented world, but in a mirror world, elements that enable high scalability are introduced. This mirror world integrates elements such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), multi-agent systems (MAS) and mobile augmented reality. The design of this mirror world enables the creation of applications of ambient intelligence AmI, where the human may interact with virtual entities and these virtual
