This poster presents a design for an interactive city generation system for use in real-time applications. Our approach is to apply procedural techniques to allow the generation of a city and to enable features such as dynamic gaming environments and on-line distribution. An interactive application

and interactively modify georeferenced 3D data by letting the user walk around at the construction site and visualizing models of the existing subsurface infrastructure right in place. The results of the experiments show a real-time capable, flexible and adaptive yet robust tracking system.

, and computational simulation. Some of these applications operate in a collaborative mode, requiring data to be stored and delivered in a timely manner. This class of applications must adhere to stringent real-time constraints and Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements. A QoS management approach is therefore required

Abstract—The increasing usage of smart embedded devices in business blurs the line between the virtual and real worlds. This creates new opportunities to build applications that better integrate real-time state of the physical world, and hence, provides enterprise services that are highly dynamic

are just a few issues that the providers are trying to tackle and integrate within the new products and services that they offer. In this chapter, we make an overview of the approaches that aim to APIs for real-time computing. In the first part of this chapter, several Real-Time Application Interfaces
