Abstract

A data processing system processes an interactive software application for a competition between two or more users. The system comprises user-interface machines for actuation by respective ones of the users. The machines are interconnected via a network. In order to effectively eliminate latency, a user is represented at the other users' machines as an agent whose reaction to an action of the other user is governed by a rule base stored in the system.
