Abstract :
Several approaches for scalable interest management (IM) within real-time distributed virtual environments (DVEs) have been proposed based upon some division of the data-space in to disjoint volumes or cells. Any such approach, however, must implement some mechanism for propagating the query and update messages around the distributed system. The efficiency of this process can greatly effect the scalability of such systems. In this paper we evaluate an adaptive approach to this problem.
