Scaling OpenSimulator : An Examination of Possible Architectures for an Internet­Scale Virtual Environment Network

This   dissertation   describes   an   analysis   of   possible   architectures   for   an   Internet­scale   virtual
environment   network.     These   are   treated   as   evolutions   of   an   existing   virtual   environment
architecture   embodied   in   an   open­source   project   called   OpenSimulator.     Distributed   computing
concepts and Z schemas are used to examine both the existing OpenSimulator architecture and the
alternative configurations.
