“…Clients can connect to these systems through different networks, and usually through Internet. Although DVE systems are present in many different applications [33], such as civil and military distributed training [20], collaborative design [31] and e-learning [5], the most extensive example of DVE systems are commercial, massively multi-player online games (MMOG) [35,8,16,27,2].…”

“…Fast inner-server communications when both the sender and receiver are allocated in the same server, and long inter-server otherwise. Nowadays DVE systems are used in a wide variety of applications such as collaborative design ( [16]), civil and military ( [14]) distributed training simulations, distributed and interactive e-learning ( [15]) and multiplayer games ( [11]). …”

A Grid Representation for Distributed Virtual Environments

Abstract. Fast Internet connections and the widespread use of high performance graphic cards are making Distributed Virtual Environments very common nowadays. The architecture and behaviour of these systems are very similar to new grid computing applications where concepts as sharing and high scalability are extremely exploited. However, there are several key issues in these systems that should still be improved in order to design a scalable and cost-effective system. One of these key issues is the partitioning problem. This problem consists of efficiently assigning clients (3-D avatars) to the arbiters (servers) in the system. As an alternative to the adhoc heuristic proposed in the literature, this paper presents a comparison study of two evolutionary heuristics for solving the partitioning problem in DVE systems. Performance evaluation results show that heuristic methods can greatly improve the performance of the partitioning method, particularly for large DVE systems. In this way, efficiency and scalability of DVE systems can be significantly improved.
