We study two-player games played on the infinite graph of sentential forms induced by a contextfree grammar (that comes with an ownership partitioning of the non-terminals). The winning condition is inclusion of the derived terminal word in the language of a finite automaton. Our contribution is a new algorithm to decide the winning player and to compute her strategy. It is based on a novel rep...

This paper presents a new distributed video game streaming system. Newly developed streaming protocols and system architectures enable transfer of the game graphics in real-time across the wired / wireless network. Initial tests have shown that the Games@Large system is capable of running video games of different genres, also including First Person Shooter games that are very popular and usuall...

The rapid development of the BlackBerry games industry and its development goals were not just for entertainment, but also used for educational of students interactively. Unfortunately the development of adaptive educational games on BlackBerry in Indonesian language that interesting and entertaining for learning process is very limited. This paper shows the research of development of novel ada...

background: the purpose of this study was to analyze the changes of t3, t4, tsh and cortisol in swimming and running college student athletes after one bout of competitive training session. materials and methods: for this purpose, 15 swimmers by the average age of 22.5±2.48 yrs, height of 177.17±2.31 cm, weight of 68.75±2.24, body mass index (bmi) 21.65±2.14 kg/m2 ) and 15 runner by the average...

This study attempted to draw a comparison between the age average of Iranian medal winners in Olympic and Asian games and their counterparts from selected countries. The statistical population of the study included Olympic medal winners from the past 100 years and the Iranian who had won medals in 3 rounds of Asian games. The findings indicated that the age average of Iranian medal winners of 3...

We develop a quasi-polynomial time Las Vegas algorithm for approximating Nash equilibria in polymatrix games over trees, under a mild renormalizing assumption. Our result, in particular, leads to an expected polynomial-time algorithm for computing approximate Nash equilibria of tree polymatrix games in which the number of actions per player is a fixed constant. Further, for trees with constant ...

Despite the ubiquity and rich features of current mobile phones, mobile games have failed to reach even the lowest estimates of expected revenues. This is unfortunate as mobile phones offer unique possibilities for creating games aimed at attracting demographics not currently catered for by the traditional console market. As a result, there has been a growing call for greater innovation within ...

Abstract. While there have been a number of studies about the efficacy of methods to find exact Nash equilibria in bimatrix games, there has been little empirical work on finding approximate Nash equilibria. Here we provide such a study that compares a number of approximation methods and exact methods. In particular, we explore the trade-off between the quality of approximate equilibrium and th...

The attention on the use of computer games in education (educational gaming) is quickly growing. By investigating the impact of video games in school, researchers have shown a remarkable improvement in student engagement and motivation. Nevertheless, the effects of educational gaming have rarely been considered on a long running application and, most important, they have never been considered i...
