Correlation Analysis Model for Dynamic Interests Management in Collaborative Virtual Environment

Currently many traditional collaborative virtual environment (CVE) applications mainly used Grid and Locale to implement interests management. But these approaches had limitations in virtual human based social environment simulation. Aiming at such kind of applications, we proposed a new interests management model with dynamic correlation analysis in CVE. The concepts of Correlation Network and Interest Matrix were defined and a correlation analysis approach to find out the interest focus of virtual humans was presented. A prototype virtual environment system was implemented to demonstrate the effects of our approach in optimizing the visual rendering process and highlighting the collaborative perception.
