Ongoing Projects on Serious Games

This number of the EAI Transactions on Serious Games is dedicated to a set of ongoing research and development projects in this area. The selected articles represent very well the diversity of approaches, contexts and objectives that foster and render highly dynamic this area of study. In Europe, several funding programmes like the 7 th Framework Programme, the Lifelong Learning Programme and t...

A Method to Measure Stiffness During Human Movements Human movements are generally stable due to the spring-like property of muscles. However, movements can become unstable when the limbs interact with the environment, e.g., when one lifts a weight overhead, or carves. The stiffness measured at the endpoint of the limb is indicative of this stability. I have developed a method to measure stiffn...

My research interests concerns both theory and applications. The major research areas are currently in the elds of control and system identiication, and signal processing. The objective of this project is to study the problem of blind deconvolu-tion/equalization of a pulse amplitude modulated signal propagated over an unknown channel and perturbed by additive noise. Traditionally, a matched lte...

Serious Games

This special issue highlights some of the best of emerging research in using video games for serious purposes. Although “serious games” is a new term, such games have been around for many years in the form of training simulators for vehicle control, such as flight simulators, and other types of simulation technologies. Through game constructs, we can simulate realistic situations to provide val...
