Gaming Technology in Cultural Heritage Systems

This paper describes the design and implementation of an interactive walk-through of a reconstructed German stronghold, the Dillenburg. The application is currently in use at the local museum. Applying technologies and algorithms primarily used for the development of realistic 3D computer games, we present a system that can be categorized as a Serious Gaming environment, a term that has recentl...

One’s own emotions may influence others’ behavior in a given social interaction. If one believes this, s/he has an incentive to game emotions—to strategically conceal a current emotion or display a non-experienced emotion—in an attempt to influence her/his counterpart.

Serious Gaming for Water Systems Planning and Management

Water systems planning and management share the same roots with gaming, as they rely on concepts in systems analysis, operations research and decision sciences. This paper focuses on Serious Games (those used for purposes other than mere entertainment), with applications in the area of water systems planning and management. A survey of published work on gaming is carried out with particular att...

Prevention of Off-Task Gaming Behavior in Intelligent Tutoring Systems

Building a mapping between items and their related knowledge components, while difficult and time consuming, is central to the task of developing affective intelligent tutoring systems. Improving performance on this task by creating a semi-automatic skill encoding system would facilitate the development of such systems. The goal of this project is to explore techniques involved in text classifi...
