In modern computer games market, highly automated testing becomes one of key factors of success. At current stage, industry of computer games is not mature enough for automated testing. The paper describes method of bringing automated quality assurance techniques from more established computer engineering fields to computer game development. Automated acceptance testing framework, based on Pyth...

The medical consultation is best understood as a two-way social interaction involving interactive decision making. Game theory--a theory based on assumptions of rational choice and focusing on interactive decision making--has the potential to provide models of the consultation that can be used to generate empirically testable predictions about the factors that promote quality of care. Three dif...

This article reports on a study with 11 bit studios and their game, This War of Mine. Rather than a formal analysis of the game, our objective was to situate the research in game production studies by documenting the design context (gamework) and designer perceptions about the game that inform morally complex gameplay. The research was conducted with four team members of 11 bit studios: a senio...

Pre-play signals which cost nothing are sometimes thought to be of no significance in interactions which are not games of pure common interest. We investigate the effect of pre-play signals in an evolutionary setting for Assurance, or Stag Hunt, games and for a Bargaining game. The evolutionary game with signals is found to have dramatically different dynamics from the same game without signals...

Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) is considered a means to support coordination in enterprises. However, coordination between heterogeneous stakeholder groups with different interests is a challenging task to achieve. In this paper, we take a game-theoretic perspective on coordination in organizations. We identify three coordination games from literature: (1) Matching game, (2) Battle of...

We report the development and initial evaluation of a serious game that, in conjunction with appropriately designed matching laboratory exercises, can be used to teach secure coding and Information Assurance (IA) concepts across a range of introductory computing courses. The IA Game is a role-playing serious game (RPG) in which the student travels through seven computer techno-inspired environm...

depend on the technologies that implement cyberspace. Secure systems must be dependable, and dependable systems fail if not secured. Unreliable software is inherently insecure. Unfortunately, cybersecurity practice and policy are largely heuristic, reactive, and increasingly cumbersome, struggling to keep pace with rapidly evolving threats. Advancing beyond this predominantly reactive posture w...

Cyber has changed the scope of the Navy’s mission and is placing new strains on our diplomatic, warfighting, legal, and economic/budgetary processes. Cybersecurity processes and techniques are increasingly critical to our warfighting missions, but they can also inhibit the pace and potential for high impact, game-changing innovation. Throughout its history, the Navy has shown the ability of inn...
