Abstract
As a current development of Peer-to-Peer applications, Networked Virtual Marketplace Environments (NVME) aim to provide large-scale virtual worlds, in which trading goods and services for real money is possible. Due to the distributed nature of the underlying system, special algorithms are needed to provide a consistent (over-)view of the whole virtual world. In this article, we therefore present an approach to build, maintain and query scalable dynamic maps as part of the P2Life NVME.
