In this paper, a software-based system for the real-time synchronization of images captured
by a low-cost camera framework is presented. It is most well suited for cases where special …

Distributed interactive applications (DIAs) are networked systems that allow multiple
participants at different locations to interact with each other. Wide spreads of client locations …

Distributed Interactive Applications (DIAs) are networked systems that allow multiple

This paper deals with the zone mapping problem in large-scale distributed virtual
environments (DVEs), eg, massively multi-player online games, distributed military …

In large-scale distributed virtual environments (DVEs), the NP-hard zone mapping problem
concerns how to assign distinct zones of the virtual world to a number of distributed servers …

Interactivity is a primary performance measure for distributed interactive applications (DIAs)
that enable participants at different locations to interact with each other in real time. Wide …

Quality of user experience in Distributed Interactive Applications (DIAs) highly depends on
the network latencies during the system execution. In DIAs, each user is assigned to a server …

The purpose of the research presented in this dissertation is to explore the use of a
distributed multi-agent system in a general purpose crowd simulation model. Crowd …

Interactivity is a key consideration in large-scale distributed virtual environments (DVEs),
such as massively multi-player online games. Due to the Internet dynamics as well as the …

Massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) may use peer-to-peer, client-server, or
mirrored-server environments. Since there exist multiple server options in mirrored server …
