Game AI is the decision-making process of computer-controlled opponents in computer games. Adaptive game AI can improve the entertainment value of computer games. It allows computercontrolled opponents to automatically fix weaknesses in the game AI and respond to changes in human-player tactics. Dynamic scripting is a recently developed approach for adaptive game AI that learns which tactics (i...

We present a user study to investigate which factors affect student attention to user-adaptive hints during interaction with an educational computer game. The game is Prime Climb, an educational game designed to provide individualized support for learning number factorization skills in the form of hints based on a model of student learning. We use eye-tracking data to capture user attention pat...

In reflecting on a recent emphasis on self-directed learning using game-based simulations and virtual worlds, the authors considered key challenges in transforming serious games and virtual worlds into adaptive training tools. This article reflects specifically on the challenges and potential of cognitive modeling techniques for game-based tutors and game integration with computer-based. Finall...

The fundamental component of resource management in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is transmitter power control since the sensors are miniature battery powered devices. Power control is an important research trend in WSNs for improving the efficiency of network communication and prolonging the life time of the network thereby supporting system quality and efficiency. This paper analyses a game t...

Game theory is a promising approach for analyzing the interactions of adaptive and cognitive radios. This paper describes how the components of the cognition cycle map into normal form game model and describes standard game theory techniques for investigating four important issues that game theory should address: steady state existence, steady state identification, convergence and steady state ...

To optimize a player's experience, an emotionally adaptive game continuously adapts its mechanics to the player's emotional state, measured in terms of emotion-data. This paper presents the first of two studies that aim to realize an emotionally adaptive game. It investigates the relations between game mechanics, a player's emotional state and his/her emotion-data. In an experiment, one game me...

The video game industry has grown to a multibillion dollar, worldwide industry. The background music tends adaptively in reference to the specific game content during the game length of the play. Adaptive music should be further explored by looking at the particular condition in the game; such condition is driven by generating a specific music in the background which best fits in with the activ...
