An Object Driven Partitioning Approach for Distributed Virtual Environments

Distributed virtual environments tend to become a de facto solution for large-scale networked virtual environments. One of the key issues and problems that need to be handled in the design of a scalable and effective distributed virtual environment system is the partitioning problem, which refers to the efficient assignment of the system´s workload to the available resources of the system. This paper presents an object driven partitioning approach based on the partitioning algorithm of Lui & Chan, who proposed a three step technique for balancing the workload among the servers of the Distributed Virtual Environment.
