Background: Video gaming is an increasingly popular activity in contemporary society, especially among young people, and video games are increasing in popularity not only as a research tool but also as a field of study. Many studies have focused on the neural and behavioral effects of video games, providing a great deal of video game derived brain correlates in recent decades. There is a great ...

A Game-theoretic Approach to Power Management in MIMO-OFDM Ad Hoc Networks Chao Liang Advisor: Kapil R. Dandekar, Ph.D. With the increasing demand for wireless services, the efficient use of spectral resources is of great importance. MIMO-OFDM communication systems hold great promise in using radio spectrum efficiently while power control will improve energy efficiency. Existing approaches such...

Deep learning systems have recently achieved near human level performance on game playing. However, they require a much larger amount of data to achieve this than humans do, and often (though not always) still perform worse than humans. One factor that may account for this is the richer feedback humans receive, in particular we often receive a great deal of natural language instruction when lea...

Mobile technology offers great opportunities for renewing corporations’ sustainability agenda. In particular, the positive impact can be increased and new segments of people can be engaged. Gaming for Good is an area that combines the most popular mobile applications, games, with sustainability ingredients. In particular three different elements of sustainability can be introduced: education, p...

While P2P applications enrich the network application, they consume huge network bandwidth and have a great impact on ISP. As for current traffic optimization problem, maybe the most effective analysis tool is the game theory. This paper proposes an ISP-involved P2P network traffic management framework, builds a game model and its equilibrium solution, then from the perspective of evolution, pe...

Role-playing games form one of the major genres of games and exist across all hardware platforms as well outside of the technology domain in a huge variety of forms and formats. Role-playing oriented research has focused on culture, storytelling, game processes as well as e.g. user interaction, play experience and character design. Today role-playing games research is an established component o...

Efficient energy management is of great importance in cellular networks. Due to the fact that energy consumption in a base station poses significant costs, it seems reasonable for different operators to share their base stations when it might not be worthwhile to activate all of them simultaneously. Here, we develop a repeated game theoretic analysis of strategic inter-operative cooperation in ...

This paper describes a camera-based approach towards creating a tangible interface for serious games. We introduce our game for dental health targeted at school children which implements the Nintendo WiiMote as infrared camera. Paired with a gesture-recognition system, this combination allows us to apply real-world items as input devices. Thereby, the game tries to address different aspects of ...

A method to simulate the physics of the game of pool is presented. The method is based upon a parametrization of ball motion which allows the time of occurrence of events, such as collisions and transitions between motion states, to be solved analytically. The method is both accurate, returning exact analytical solutions for both time and space parameters, and efficient, requiring no iterative ...
