하우징(Housing) 시스템은 온라인 게임상에서 플레이어가 가상의 공간에 직접 건축물 등을 짓거나 사들이고, 그 공간에 대해 여러 가지 권한과 혜택을 누릴 수 있는 게임 컨텐츠(Contents)로써, 2000년 "울티마 온라인"을 시작으로 하여 많은 MMOPRG(Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game)에서 적용하고 있는 시스템이다. 본 논문에서는 하우징 시스템이 가진 컨텐츠로서의 가능성을 살펴본다. 그리고 실제 서비스 되고 있는 MMORPG 속, 하우징 컨텐츠의 특징과 역할 그리고 문제점들을 조사해보고, 그것을 바탕으로 게임 플레이의 요소로서 보다 발전된 형태의 하우징 시스템 모델을 제시한다.

개인화 장비 기술의 발달과 함께 최근 모바일 디바이스는 카메라, MP3 플레이어 등 다양한 기능을 포함하고 있으며, 많은 사용자가 이를 사용하고 있다. 모바일 디바이스는 사용자가 항상 휴대하기 때문에 사용자 정보를 습득하기에 유용하며 따라서 이로부터 수집된 다양한 정보를 바탕으로 최근 여러가지 서비스를 제공하기 위한 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자의 모바일 로그를 바탕으로 행동 패턴을 파악하여 사용자가 앞으로 취할 행동을 예측하고자 하며, 이 과정에서 다양한 행동 패턴 중 정확한 행동 예측을 수행하기 위해 다음과 같은 방법을 활용하였다. 장소, 시간, 요일 정보를 함께 사용하여 동적 베이지안 네트워크를 이용해 시간 변화에 따른 사용자 행동 패턴을 학습하였으며, 개인 사용자 모델과 전체 사용자 모델을 따로 학습함으로써 더 정확한 행동 패턴의 학습이 가능하도록 하였다. 실험을 위해 대학생들로부터 수집된 모바일 로그를 통해 제안하는 행동 예측 모델의 성능을 확인한 결과 77~94%의 예측 정확도를 보임을 확인하였다.

Digital game is an entertainment content as well as a cultural content so that digital game can deliver social messages to make people confront with current problems. Based on Gonzalo Frasca's expanded model theory, this study aims to analyze independent games parodying reality on the level of the narrative and the gameplay to demonstrate that digital game can be a powerful medium to represent a satire on society. Parody games describe irrational side of society as being comical and provoke players' repetitive gameplay. Therefore, players can experience serious theme through casual play in the first-person, and realize the tragic reality directly.

Predicting stealthy behaviors plays an important role in designing stealth games. It is, however, difficult to automate this task because human players interact with dynamic environments in real time. In this paper, we present a reinforcement learning (RL) method for simulating stealthy movements in dynamic environments, in which an integrated model of Q-learning with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is exploited as an action classifier. Experiment results show that our simulation agent responds sensitively to dynamic situations and thus is useful for game level designer to determine various parameters for game.

본 논문에서는 감성과 힐링, 머신러닝이라는 주제를 바탕으로 딥러닝을 통한 사용자의 얼굴표정을 인식하고 그 얼굴표정을 기반으로 음악을 재생해주는 얼굴표정 기반의 음악재생 프로그램을 제안한다. 얼굴표정 기반 음악재생 프로그램은 딥러닝 기반의 음악 프로그램으로써, 이미지 인식 분야에서 뛰어난 성능을 보여주고 있는 CNN 모델을 기반으로 얼굴의 표정을 인식할 수 있도록 데이터 학습을 진행하였고, 학습된 모델을 이용하여 웹캠으로부터 사용자의 얼굴표정을 인식하는 것을 통해 사용자의 감정을 추측해낸다. 그 후, 해당 감정에 맞게 감정을 더 증폭시켜줄 수 있도록, 감정과 매칭되는 노래를 재생해주고, 이를 통해, 사용자의 감정이 힐링 및 완화될 수 있도록 도움을 준다.

The development of network technology has made rapid growth for online gaming industry on the Internet. Recently, game players have been wanting for a free migration on the game character for game player managed by online game servers of different types. Existing research on the acceptance of the game players demands have suggested migration model of the game character. However, the game Character Migration Process between the game server of different types migration is focused only, and safety issue that is necessary in an online transaction is overlooked. Therefore, ensure the safety of transactions information and when a dispute arises is necessary countermeasures. In this paper, Secure game Character Migration System (SCMP) using dual signature method when migrating game characters between the game servers of different types based on existing research is propose and looks to examine the safety.

Game graphics provide players with a sense of immersion, leading to active participation. This paper aims to analyze the mythological meaning for symbolic design of game skill visual effects that reproduce the narrative and the worldview of games borrowing myths. The research method classified the visual effect image into a symbol of the form of a universal archetype representation and a symbol of color expressing the narrative in the game, and analyzed it by applying Roland Barthes' semiological scheme. Through this study, it was possible to analyze the meaning of visual effects as a mythical meaning that can be universally sympathized and an implicit meaning that symbolizes the narrative of the game. The symbolic expression of the visual effect, which reproduces the narrative of the game reflecting the myth, can induce players to engage and participate, and the design direction was intended to provide the visual effect to have a unique symbolism that reflects the game's mythical worldview of the game.

The virtual world is a cyber gaming space where a player interacts with others through their avatars. It is now mainly developed in foreign countries including USA, Canada, and Europe and many experts say that the market capacity of virtual world will be continually expanded in worldwide. The virtual world will mostly be made such that a user accesses the world for free and pays for in-game activities. But it is hardly that we find the effective methodology of payment system for such virtual world due to its' short development history. In the case of Korea, various payment methods of selling in-game assets have been tested in online games. The paper propose an effective revenue model for social virtual world focused on selling in-game assets. The guideline of the proposed revenue model will be expected to contribute creating revenue focused on selling in-game assets, effectively for social virtual world.

Games can be divided into different genres such as action, adventure, role playing, simulation and etc based on the types of the play provided to a player. And each genre has various kinds of balancing system. Fighting games are classified as one of the action genres. They seem to have a simple structure but there is a variety of complex balancing factors. Because there are quite a number of the fighting games that were developed in a relatively short period, it is possible to identify diverse balancing systems in the fighting games from unstable ones in the early stage to the recent ones in a stable condition. The balancing system allows players to use all the contents offered in the game by eliminating the imbalance created among the various components. It helps players maintain their interest during the procedure. Furthermore, it gives the justification, increases the efficiency of controlling, and develops the empathy in the process. Therefore, the balancing system plays a crucial role in the games when it comes to getting an evaluation and building popularity, which can determine its lifespan. In this study, we researched on the possibilities of expanding an application to the other genres by understanding the established balancing model developed from the case study of the fighting games.

In the majority of today's computer games, the behaviour of characters are controlled by pre-defined game logic or pre-generated motion. As game developers strive for richer and more interactive games, they often encounter limitations with this approach. This paper attempts to construct a game model using Genetic Algorithms (GAs) in order to produce more intelligent and compelling computer games. Based on teaming ability, the use of GAs will enable the characters to continually evolve, providing a changing and dynamic game environment. A real-time game was implemented to investigate the performance and limitations of the system.
