Alex Pytel	Title : Scaling in Distributed Interactive Simulations of Virtual Abstract: A main objective of many distributed interactive simulations is to support scalability in terms of the number of participating agents while maintaining an acceptable level of interactive performance. There are two candidates for improving the scalability properties: multicasting and using the agents' spatial locality of interest. A comparison of several architectures that implement the two techniques, as well as several conventional distributed simulation applications, demonstrates that spatial locality of interest is an extremely effective paradigm, while multicasting is not as promising.
