Design of the Server Cluster to Support Avatar Migration
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we identified an important issue when supporting a large scale networked virtual environment(NVE) with a server cluster. This issue is similar to the process migration issue on the parallel computing study and we refer it as the avatar migration problem. That is, when an avatar of an NVE is moving from one region managed by a server to another region managed by a different server, the client site may perceive abrupt screen change due to the different contents managed by these two servers. This paper proposes equations to solve this problem and elaborates the proposed avatar migration mechanism with state diagrams. The implementing architecture is also given in this paper. Our experiments that successfully show the efficiency of the proposed mechanism are given at the last.

Design of the Server Cluster for the Scalable Networked Virtual Environment
This paper presents an architecture to design a server cluster for the scalable networked virtual environment. One of the key techniques to design such a scalable networked virtual environment is to partition the virtual world across multiple servers. However, the problem of the avatar migration from one server into another is the key issue of this approach. This paper proposes a mechanism to s...
متن کاملInvestigation on Reliability Estimation of Loosely Coupled Software as a Service Execution Using Clustered and Non-Clustered Web Server
Evaluating the reliability of loosely coupled Software as a Service through the paradigm of a cluster-based and non-cluster-based web server is considered to be an important attribute for the service delivery and execution. We proposed a novel method for measuring the reliability of Software as a Service execution through load testing. The fault count of the model against the stresses of users ...
