User-centric Network Service in a Multi-User Virtual Environment

Multi-User Virtual Environment (MUVE) is a popular topic attracting much research focus in the recent years. Reducing the amount of information transmitted over the network for such an environment is a crucial task for good system performance. This paper focuses on how to screen unnecessary information transmission in such a system from a user's point of view. We will try to satisfy as many users as possible with a just-enough strategy. We propose a set of network service models to assess user's satisfaction according to the user's activity and hardware capability. We have implemented a control system with these models to reduce the amount of network transmission and conducted experiments to observe the system performances under different experimental settings. Finally, we analyze the results of the experimental data and discuss them with our possible future extensions.
