Abstract

The emerging class of Real-time Online Interactive Applications (ROIA) include massively-multiplayer online games and e-learning applications. They pose completely new challenges for application developers, including very high level of user interactivity with real-time QoS requirements on distributed performance and scalability. We describe a service-oriented interface that comprises: (1) the Real-Time Framework (RTF) supports a high-level application development process which frees the software developer from the low-level details of distributed computation and communication; (2) the Hoster Management Interface (HMI) supports the transparent resource management for a running application, in particular the creation, controlling and monitoring of ROIA instances. We present our efficient implementation of the interface and describe its use for two particular distributed application scenarios.
