Abstract :
We propose a novel cyberinfrastructure for an emerging class of Internet-based real-time online interactive applications (ROIA). The most challenging representative of this application class are massively multi-player online games. We present the results of the European project Edutain@Grid on the development of efficient cyberinfrastructure and scalable applications. We report experimental results demonstrating the performance and scalability of our approach.
