Abstract :
The wide expansion and increasing demand for networked virtual environments resulted in efforts for the optimization of these environments with the enhancement of advanced features, which offered extended functionality and created an improved sense of realism. However, the added functionality often creates resource overhead both in the system as well as in the network host, which results in performance reduction. This paper presents such a networked virtual environment and based on the system´s architecture tries to trace down with the time and recourse consuming parameters and proposes models on which a networked virtual environment, like the one presented, could achieve optimization of its performance.
