Brief announcement: on minimum interaction time for continuous distributed interactive computing

Lu Zhang, Xueyan Tang, Bingsheng He

Abstract: In this paper, we study the interaction times of continuous distributed interactive computing in which the application states change due to not only user-initiated operations but also time passing. We formulate the Minimum Interaction Time problem as a combinatorial problem of how the clients are assigned to the servers and the simulation time settings of the servers. We also outline two approaches to approximate the problem.
