Chen, Jiming; Ju, Shiguang; Bei, Jia; Pan, Jingui An interest management approach for distributed virtual environments. (Chinese. English summary) Zbl 1164.68304 J. Jiangsu Univ., Nat. Sci. 28, No. 2, 168-171 (2007). Summary: In order to reduce the total communication traffic in distributed virtual environments, a new scalable interest management approach is presented. Based on the publish/subscribe pattern filtering mechanism, the new approach, which adopts the expression-based interest representation mode and the concepts of degree of interest, can control the accuracy and frequency during the process of sending and receiving information. Experimental results derived from the AMNET system show that this approach can efficiently reduce the network load and improve the scalability of the distributed virtual environment through the control of details of the communication.
