  • Abstract
    Virtual simulation has been playing an important role in many areas including gaming, training, e-learning, and etc. At the mean time, real-time emergency response system is attracting more and more attention due to its significance to reduce the casualties and properties lost when disasters come. Indeed, a highly responsive and effective real-time response system depends on a well designed architecture, in particular, a distributed virtual simulation environment which not only can train the emergency response personnel, but also can be used as a core real-time strategy and response system. In this paper, we propose an integrative and adaptive distributed real-time simulation environment which aims at providing a more efficient and flexible virtual environment to meet the requirement of today´s high-end emergency response class of applications. Our proposed system is based in service oriented design and most advanced P2P network technique. The goal of our system is to build a robust software framework to make the real-time emergency response system more flexible and more scalable.
