Resource-Cost Analysis for Massively Multiplayer Online Games
22nd International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications - Workshops (aina workshops 2008), 2008In this paper, an approach for modelling and analysis of massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) is proposed. By using our models, based on Markov process and queuing theory, we can investigate the impact of various factors, such as game types, the number of players, the intensity of players or NCPs interaction, the number of regions in a game world,
