Abstract :
At the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) we, like others in the collaborative VE community, have extolled the virtues of persistent online virtual worlds for years. We previously addressed the infrastructure requirements of a large-scale, persistent online virtual world: runtime extensibility of both content and applications; scalability in world complexity and number of participants; and composability of heterogeneous content and applications. We follow those arguments with the first publication describing NPSNET-V
