We describe a VRML browser-and-server system that we developed to support
the LivingWorlds specification for multi-user environments. Since the browser
supports VRML version 2.0 with quality-of-service (QoS) control, the LivingWorlds
module was implemented by using the VRML 2.0 Java application interfaces.
We discuss the concept of designing systems with QoS control, and the problems
encountered and solutions reached in actually implementing a LivingWorlds
client-server system.
