Digitising Boardgames: Issues and Tensions

In this paper, we discuss the different ways in which modern European boardgames (“Eurogames”) are converted for digital play. We review digitised versions of three popular tabletop boardgames: Puerto Rico, Agricola and Ascension. Using these examples, we demonstrate the tension between the interaction metaphor of the original analogue medium and the metaphor of a digital game. We describe the ...

Digitising Cultural Complexity: Representing Rich Cultural Data in a Big Data environment

One of the major terminological forces driving ICT integration in research today is that of "big data." While the phrase sounds inclusive and integrative, "big data" approaches are highly selective, excluding input that cannot be effectively structured, represented, or digitised. Data of this complex sort is precisely the kind that human activity produces, but the technological imperative to en...

Digitising VHF FM sound broadcasting with

This paper summarizes and discusses findings on compatibility of the forthcoming DRM mode E into classical VHF FM sound broadcasting. The results are based on theoretical considerations, lab measurements, field trials and radio network planning exercises. In addition, the status of the ongoing work towards a comprehensive DRM mode E coverage study including first results hereof are given.
