Abstract

Virtual environments (VEs) such as Massively Multiplayer Online Games have grown in popularity over recent years. However, existing architectures have yet been able to support over one million concurrent users in a single world. A key challenge involved is to allow entities in a VE to discover other relevant entities in constant time regardless of entity distributions. A scalable spatial publish / subscribe (SPS) service, where entities can specify a subscription area and receive messages published by other entities to an area, may be a flexible and fundamental primitive. We describe Voronoi Self-organizing Overlay (VSO), which extends a Voronoi-based Overlay Network (VON) to support SPS operations in constant time and performs automatic load balancing. New classes of million-scale VEs may thus be built.
