An adaptive control mechanism for management of networked information consistency

摘要

This paper discusses techniques for managing in- formation consistency and controlling the dy- namic shared state for a large-scale virtual envi- ronment. Depending on the system load, this ap- proach can automatically switch the dynamic shared state from one level to another to prevent performance degradation. Simulations were used to evaluate the proposed adaptive control mecha- nism, the three-level consistency approach, and the shared repository technique. Performance results show that both the proposed mechanism results three-level consistency approach can maintain low system load over a wide range of participants, but the adaptive control mechanism can adapt to the state of server load and provide a better service quality.
