However, the introduction of Large Scale Virtual Environments brings along a series of problems that are mainly related to the serious increment of the transmitted information. Neither the traditional architectures, algorithms originally designed for the NVEs, nor the improvement of the network seem sufficient to support this new kind of applications. A solution to this problem seems to be the adoption of the GRID. In this paper we present an approach, which describes the way that a Desktop Networked Virtual Environment could be efficiently supported and maintained under a GRID infrastructure.1 aBouras, Christos1 aGiannaka, Eleftheria  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/grid-framework-suitable-infrastructure-supporting-large-scale-desktop-networked-virtual
