Abstract

We have previously introduced a cloud-based model for Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) operation, which allows small and medium enterprises to join the MMOG market through near-zero initial infrastructure investment. In this work we propose an architectural extension to this MMOG operational model designed to increase and guarantee the MMOG session availability through fault tolerance mechanisms.
