In this paper, we present Studierstube ES, a framework for the development of handheld
Augmented Reality. The applications run self-contained on handheld computers and …

The scalability of large-scale networked virtual environments (NVEs) such as today's
massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) faces inherent limits imposed by client-server …

Modern massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) allow hundreds of thousands of
players to interact with a large, dynamic virtual world. Implementing a scalable MMOG …

Developing distributed multiplayer games for ad-hoc networks is challenging. Consistency
of the replicated shared state is hard to ensure at a low cost. Current consistency models …

Game development is different from traditional software engineering in that there are no real
functional requirements and the customers buy and use the software only because it is …

This paper presents Mammoth, a massively multiplayer game research framework designed
for experimentation in an academic setting. Mammoth provides a modular architecture …

We propose an iterative scheme of spatio-temporal local color transformation of background
and graph-cut segmentation for silhouette extraction. Given an initial background …

Middleware! It was somewhere, and now it is definitely everywhere. Over the past four
decades, the term middleware has been tossed around, picked up, and investigated …

The anonymity of the darknet makes it attractive to secure communication lines from
censorship. The analysis, monitoring, and categorization of Internet network traffic are …

In this paper, we present a dynamic area of interest management for massively multiplayer
online games (MMOG). Instead of mapping the virtual space to the area of interest (AOI), we …
