Networked virtual environments (NVEs) are virtual worlds where users communicate and
interact with others and the virtual world by exchanging messages via a network connection …

Over the past decades we have witnessed an enormous development in multiplayer games.
They have evolved from the initial state with two players on the same computer to the current …

In Networked Virtual Environments (NVE), Interest Management (IM) is a key part of the
system that determines which of a participant's actions have to be communicated to which …

ABSTRACT A major performance challenge in developing a massively multi-user virtual
world is network scalability. This is because the network over which entities communicate …

Interest Management (IM) aims at eliminating irrelevant state updates transmitted in
Networked Virtual Environment (NVE). The traditional IM mechanisms can be classified into …

Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments (MMVEs) require a seamless and consistent
execution. To provide this, the MMVE must include a sophisticated consistency …

An Interest Management (IM) mechanism eliminates irrelevant status updates transmitted in
Networked Virtual Environments (NVE). However, IM itself involves both computation and …

In this paper we present an implementation of an interest management scheme using
standard message oriented middleware (MOM) technologies to provide scalable message …

A fundamental task in peer-to-peer-based Massively Multiuser Virtual Environments is
providing all peers with a consistent view of the environment. To do so, state changes must …

A fundamental problem for the development of peer‐to‐peer (P2P) distributed virtual
environments, like massively multiplayer on‐line games, is the definition of an overlay …
