Designing human-computer multi-agent collaboration in productive multi-player games

چکیده
This research explores productive multi-player games as a platform for human-computer agent collaboration. A multiagent perspective is taken to examine the principles of both gameplay and mechanism design for productive games. To engage human players in sustained gameplay, the game agents are designed with the flow and dramatic principles. To ensure productivity, the game mechanism is designed such that rational agents, both human and software, will follow the target strategy to reach subgame perfect equilibrium. The design principles are demonstrated and evaluated using PhotoSlap, a multi-player productive game for photo annotation.

Utilizing Generalized Learning Automata for Finding Optimal Policies in MMDPs
Multi agent Markov decision processes (MMDPs), as the generalization of Markov decision processes to the multi agent case, have long been used for modeling multi agent system and are used as a suitable framework for Multi agent Reinforcement Learning. In this paper, a generalized learning automata based algorithm for finding optimal policies in MMDP is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, MMDP ...

متن کاملRich Interaction Model for Game and Virtual Environment Design
The focus of this thesis is on perceivable interaction forms that can be utilised in multi-player computer games and Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs). Interaction forms are manifestations of user-user and user-environment interaction. These forms convey the actions of the user to others, and to oneself, during synchronous communication and interaction partially resembling face-to-face ...
متن کاملA Novel Multicast Tree Construction Algorithm for Multi-Radio Multi-Channel Wireless Mesh Networks
Many appealing multicast services such as on-demand TV, teleconference, online games and etc. can benefit from high available bandwidth in multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks. When multiple simultaneous transmissions use a similar channel to transmit data packets, network performance degrades to a large extant. Designing a good multicast tree to route data packets could enhance the...
