A dynamic load balancing model for networked virtual environment systems using an efficient boundary partition management

Networked virtual environment (NVE) provides an environment that a number of entities recognizes and interacts with each other. Mainly, NVE systems use multiple servers to process requests from a large numbers of clients. But these servers can meet the excessive load situations caused by entities' behaviors on real time service. In order to cope with these situations, dynamic load balancing techniques are used to redistribute works of servers in realtime (Ta Nguyen Binh Duong and Suiping Zhou, 2003). In this paper, we propose a dynamic load balancing model that readjusts the partitions of the virtual worlds in realtime with the situation of each server manages an allocated partition and we present the simulation results for this model to illustrate its effectiveness.
