Network and Runtime Monitoring in the edutain@grid SOA
Alexander Ploß (Universität Münster)

This talk will present the edutain@grid project and its relation to network
measurement. 

Developing today's multiplayer online real-time games which support high numbers
of users is a challenging task. The edutain@grid project provides a novel system
for developing and running Real-Time Online Interactive Applications (ROIA) like
fast-paced online computer games or interactive e-learning and training
scenarios.

This talk will focus on the mechanisms the edutain@grid system utilizes to
monitor running ROIA sessions, especially the collection and propagation of
network characteristics.
