Abstract
Distributed interactive media such as networked multiplayer
computer games offer users the opportunity to interact and
share experiences within a virtual environment. More often
than not, these interactions are required to be performed in
real-time, a constraint which poses problems given the
underlying network capabilities used to transmit information.
In these real-time distributed systems, the amount of
information that needs to be shared between participants in
order to maintain complete game-state fidelity is too large.
As a result, trade-offs must be made over what information
requirements are necessary to maintain a level of consistency
that will provide adequate quality of interaction for the users.
One possible solution to this problem is the use of statistical
modeling techniques that attempt to capture the individual
behaviour of system users. These models can then be used to
predict the likely future behaviour for the users, thus
reducing the shared information requirements. In this paper
we present some preliminary analysis of the behaviour of
users within a distributed interactive application, with a goal
towards future work of attempting to develop and incorporate
statistical models of user behaviour for the purpose described
above.
