[Opensim-users] client-side NPC cluster load balancing Java

[Ovi Chris Rouly]

Folks,

May I humbly offer to my OS-user colleagues who run scalable-sized groups of autonomous and adaptive client-side agents (NPC 'bots and Virtual Agents), some Java source code that may help balance the computational load (of those NPCs) across a private compute cluster?

And, while this is premature, may I also offer the accompanying paper describing the inner workings of the code, the purpose of the algorithm in its historical context, and my personal use of the code as:
