This research analyzed the case of Ncsoft to study the organizational learning, exploitation and exploration that create dynamic capability in hypercompetitive environment. First of all, we demonstrated the activities of exploitation and exploration in Ncsoft according to the life cycle of online game industry. An exploitation related to routine, learning and fit with existing environment brings about incremental innovation. In contrast, an exploration associated with non-learning, flexibility with changing environment results in radical innovation. We examined them based on the life cycle of its various game services. NCsoft that built the leading position in online game industry focused the exploitation activities at the stage of beginning period and growth, whereas NCsoft has increased the activities of exploration at period of mature. In addition, the firm conducts an exploration for its brand new game services and R&D. Conversely, An exploitation is conducted for sustainable updating of patch service and marketing and system building. The result implies that online game companies create sustainable competitive advantage using the balance between exploitation and exploration.

This paper is written for analyzing the history of the Korean game legislation system. The regulation system of amusement place business that is discussed in this paper was started at the Enforcement Rule of the Amusement Place Act of 1973. It was maintained till 1999 and comes under the quickening period of the current game legislation. The legal regulation of this times was accomplished through the Amusement Place Act, the Amusement Place Business Act and the Public Health Act. The amusement place business was differentiated into the athletics facility business, the amusement facility business and the game proffer business of current legislations. The game proffer business succeeds to the kernel of the regulation system of amusement place business. Therefore, The basis of the current game legislation was constituted in the times of the regulation system of amusement place business. Two cores of the regulation system of amusement place business, (1) the separation of the amusement instrument and the speculation, (2) the regulation of a place of business, are still the important issues of the current game legislation.

Since korean mobile communication companies each use different mobile platforms, developers must configure and translate their game contents to run under each of the smart phone platforms so that they can be serviced correctly. Nevertheless, such translation tasks require lengthy times and costs. This is one of the reasons why a variety of contents could not be provided. In order to mitigate such difficulty, this paper implemented the mobile contents converter system that converts mobile game contents of the GNEX platform to smart phone contents of the iPhone platform(iOS). The GNEX-to-iPhone automatic mobile contents translation system helps minimize the amount of time and cost required in servicing contents to different mobile communication companies by promptly translating platform-specific-contents to run under iPhone smart phone platforms. Also, the automatic translation and servicing of existing contents increases the reusability of these contents and also the productivity of new contents thereby offering users with a more variety of games.

As the performance of game consoles is so highly progressed that services such as internet browsing become available on the consoles, the need for text input schemes on game consoles is rapidly raised. In this paper, we present a text input method of alphabet characters and several symbols using a gamepad, which is a widely used input device for most game consoles. Just like other text input methods using gamepad, our method allows users to enter texts by manipulating the gamepad with a user interface displayed on the screen of the console. A key idea of this paper is to present the user interface that is similar to the $4{\times}3$ keypad on mobile phones. The motivation of this idea is a principle that the experience of using a text input tool can be transferred to another tool that has similar interface. Another motivation is that the keyboard-based interface is too complex to be easily manipulated by simple input from a keypad, which is four orthogonal directions and several fire signals. Since most of keys on keypad of $4{\times}3$ keys are represented by a combination of two orthogonal directions, users feel easier in entering texts using keypad-based interface. We prove this argument in this paper by a user test of ten subjects. After about two experiment sessions, subjects reach 13 WPM in average, which proves that the proposed text input method enables much faster text input than the existing keyboard-based text input methods.

온라인 게임에서 불법 프로그램을 이용한 게임 봇을 대규모로 운영하는 전문 사설 업체를 속칭 '작업장(Gold Farming Group, GFG)'이라고 부른다. 기존에 작업장에서 운영하는 게임 봇은 24시간 쉬지 않고 반복적인 파밍을 통해 수익을 극대화하는 전략을 취했으나 최근 온라인 게임의 계정 가입이 쉬워지고 무료 플레이가 보편화되면서 개개의 게임 봇 계정이 수행하는 플레이 시간이나 취득 재화 수준을 낮추는 대신 수만 개의 계정을 번갈아 가며 운영하는 방식으로 변하고 있다. 이로 인해 플레이 활동 패턴에 기반한 기존의 탐지 모델들이 점차 무력화되고 있으며 진입 초기에 게임 봇을 빠르게 탐지하고 제재하는 방안이 점차 중요해지고 있다. 우리는 게임 봇을 조기에 탐지하기 위한 방안으로 계정 및 캐릭터의 이름이 갖는 특성을 활용한 게임 봇 탐지 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법의 유효성을 검증하기 위해 북미에서 서비스 중인 엔씨소프트의 MMORPG인 '블레이드 앤 소울'의 약 20만 개 계정 정보를 이용해 탐지 성능을 측정하였다. 실험에 의하면 캐릭터 이름에 대해 간단한 나이브 베이즈 분류기를 적용하는 것만으로도 AUC 기준으로 약 0.901의 성능을 기록하였다.

게임 플랫폼은 패러다임의 변화에 맞추어 변화해왔으며, 앞으로도 계속하여 변화할 것이다. 초기에 나타난 게임은 사업자들이 운영하는 아케이드에서만 향유할 수 있었던 것이 대부분이었으나, 가정용 비디오 게임기의 보급과 퍼스널 컴퓨터의 보급을 통해 각 가정에서도 향유할 수 있게 되었다. 현재 기술의 발달로 등장한 스마트폰은 휴대성을 지닌 게임 플랫폼으로 각광받고 있다. 기술의 발전에 의해 새로운 플랫폼이 등장할 때마다 게임 콘텐츠는 어떻게 변화해 왔으며, 사용자들은 어떻게 반응하고 있는지 비교 분석하고자 한다. 이를 통해 향후 나타날 새로운 플랫폼에 적합한 형식의 게임 방향을 예측하고자 한다.

This paper proposes a remote partitioned rendering method for displaying 3D applications on large tiled displays, which were developed using the Unity game engine. With the proposed method, one can represent them without additional development or any modifications to the applications. The paper verifies its feasibility by applying to a sample Unity-based application.

Nevertheless, such translation tasks require lengthy times and costs. This is one of the reasons why a variety of contents could not be provided. In order to mitigate such difficulty, this paper implemented an automatic mobile contents translating system that automatically translates mobile C game contents of the GNEX platform to mobile java contents of the WIPI platform. The GNEX C-to-WIPI Java automatic contents translation system helps minimize the amount of time and cost required in servicing contents to different mobile communication companies by promptly translating a platform-specific-content to run under other platforms. Also, the automatic translation and servicing of existing contents increases the reusability of these contents and also the productivity of new contents thereby offering users with a more variety of games.

There is a need for education that can be effectively education rather than one-sided audiovisual-oriented education. Serious games capable of contextual design and iterative training of various scenarios are easy to use and spread contents. The effects of safety education in childhood and adolescence, which are the most active periods of cognitive development, are most effective compared to other age group. The purpose of this study is to propose the guideline and components of the contents development for youth safety education using functional games.

기존의 게임기를 포함한 여러 입력장치들의 대부분이 미세한 조작과 변위의 변화, 특히 가속도와 변위의 세분화가 어려웠다. 또한 외부의 충격에 내구성이 약한 단점들이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 최근 게임기 산업에서 3차원 입력장치를 필요로 함에 따라 기존의 2차원 변위에 더해서 3차원 입력장치의 구현을 기반으로 저가형의 소형 다축load cell 센서방식을 채택하여 부분 변위의 조작, 내구성과 기존 하드웨어의 단순화 등 여러 면에서 개선이 되었으며, 보다 정밀하고 다양한 입력에 대응하기 위하여 센싱 신호처리 회로의 개선과 디지털 통신방식을 부가하였다. 본 논문에서는 이 구현을 위한 하드웨어와 소프트웨어에 대한 연구결과를 소개하고자 한다.
