Game-based learning applications have been getting much attention and it has been widely applied on teaching activities of modern teaching. However, Game-based learning is used as well as the common computer games, so in the design of game-based learning it needs to keep users in the flow effect to intrigue learners to continue learning. Many studies have also pointed out the importance of fait...

Using the online educational game Battleship Numberline, we have collected over 8 million number line estimates from hundreds of thousands of players. Using random assignment, we evaluate the effects of various adaptive sequencing algorithms on player engagement and learning.

Computer games and interactive entertainment have gained much attention recently in the domain of digital media. They are now being applied or used in many areas such as entertainment, education, training, and art. Today, the computer games and interactive entertainment market is highly competitive. In this special issue, all the submissions are invited papers which are extended from original c...

This paper describes the design of an adaptive intelligent augmented reality serious game which aims to foster problem solving skills in young learners. Studies show that our students lack computational thinking skills in high school, which raises the need to establish new methods to develop these skills in our younger learners. We believe that problem solving skills are the fundamental skills ...

Adaptive learning models that have been tested against experimental data typically share two features: (i) initial attractions (or beliefs) are given exogenously, and (ii) learning is based on the performance of stage-game actions rather than repeated game strategies. We develop a model of learning which endogenizes initial attractions and allows for the learning of repeated game strategies. Le...

A game-theoretic analysis is applied to the evaluation of capacity and stability of a wireless ad hoc network in which each source node independently chooses a route to the destination node so as to enhance throughput. First, the throughput of individual multihop transmission with rate adaptation is evaluated. Observations from this evaluation indicate that the optimal number of hops in terms o...

One of the most challenging tasks when creating an adaptation mechanism is to transform domain knowledge into an evaluation function that adequately measures the quality of the generated solutions. The high complexity of modern video games makes the task to generate a suitable evaluation function for adaptive game AI even more difficult. Still, our aim is to fully automatically generate an eval...

With the increasing potential for gaming hardware and peripherals to support biometrics, their application within the games industry for software and design should be considered. This paper assesses the ability to use a form of biometric measurement, heart rate, in real-time to improve the challenge and enjoyment of a game by catering it to individuals of varying ability. While the findings of ...

An adaptive control problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems is formulated as a disturbance attenuation problem. In particular, the class of problems having nominal linear dynamics perturbed by small polynomial functions of the state which multiply the state, control and measurements is considered. Using a perturbation approach, an approximate solution to the resulting differential ga...
