Abstract
Collaborative Virtual Environments, like almost all distributed systems, are complex and encompass a broad range of interrelated concerns. In this chapter we focus on the network and communication requirements of CVEs in relation to several aspects of their design, implementation and use. We cannot cover the relationships between these various aspects comprehensively in this chapter; rather we will give a framework and a number of key illustrations which will equip the reader with a general understanding of the issues and the typical patterns of influence which are embodied in CVEs.
