An Efficient Load Balancing Mechanism in Distributed Virtual Environments

Su Min Jang, and Jae Soo Yoo

Abstract :

A distributed virtual environment (DVE) allows multiple geographically distributed objects to interact concurrently in a shared virtual space. Most DVE applications use a non-replicated server architecture, which dynamically partitions a virtual space. An important issue in this system is effective scalability as the number of users increases. However, it is hard to provide suitable load balancing because of the unpredictable movements of users and hot-spot locations. Therefore, we propose a mechanism for sharing roles and separating service regions. The proposed mechanism reduces unnecessary partitions of short duration and supports efficient load balancing.

Key word :

Distributed virtual environments, load balancing, partitioning algorithm, scalability issue.
