Since various applications is converged in digital televisions, playing game on DTV will be available in the immediate future. Game programming of DTV is more difficult than that of PC in a viewpoint of game development. Since TV use very simple remote controller as user interface, mapping type, choice type, and one-button type are used among mobile game user interfaces. In addition, we suggest to use text class, numeral class, bitmap class, and shape class of DTV OSD middleware which is proven software, instead of developing new DTV-oriented game engine. The proposed interfaces can be applied in various game situations and allow intuitive and fast operations. By using OSD middleware, game actions can be subdivided into state structures, OSD objects can be used as game objects, and events and actions of remote controller keys are easily defined.

Most designers use professional 3D animation tools such as 3DS MAX to manually create animation. This manual method requires a great deal of time and efforts, and does not allow animation characters to interact with one another. In this paper, we design an AI middleware of form as 3DS MAX plug-in to solve these issues. We present an AI expression structure and internal processing method for this middleware, and the method for creating AI character's structure. It creates AI character's structure by drawing figures and lines for representing AI elements. For experiment, we have produced same animations with the traditional method and our method, and measured the task volume in both methods. This result verifies that the task volume is similar or higher than the traditional method in small-scale tasks, but up to 43% of the task volume is reduced in large-scale tasks. Using the method proposed in this paper, we see that characters in an animation interact each other, and task volume in large-scale tasks are reduced.

The basic idea of IoT(Internet of Things) is interconnection and cooperation with a variety of things in real life such as Radio-Frequency Identification(RFID) tags, sensors, mobile phone, etc, through internet. IoT technologies which applied to these fields consist of sensor network technology and middleware, application. Currently, IoT technology is applied to various fields such as health care, home care, automotive, transportation, construction, agriculture, environment, food, and etc, based on its technologies. This paper focuses on discussion of the IoT development trend in game field. In order to achieve this purpose, first, the IoT technologies for game development based on sensor network technology and middleware, application is mentioned. Second, covers serious game and gamification that is expected to be a growing that is expected to be a growing, by applying IoT technologies to the game field. It can help for game developers by using IoT technologies.

This paper introduces a program structure that minimizes the client's business logic by reducing the client's specifications as a way of minimizing the limitations of online game platforms. The objective of this thesis is to design an online game that is based on a 3-tier client/server structure, and thus using this 3-tier structure to ultimately create an online Sutda game that anyone can enjoy. The progression of newly released games is highly based on the mobile market and the number of online games being launched is decreasing. As the mobile game market grows, more and more multi-platform games are being developed and target platforms within online games are greatly diversifying. Through these situations, this thesis minimizes the client's business logic through a 3-tier structure of application-middleware-database, and also proposes an online game client/server that allows three or more users to participate simultaneously through the server.

It is for sure that a stable game managing system is absolutely needed to accept simultaneous interfacing of many users for P2P on-line game system. The proposed P2P on-line game system in this paper is able to get smart and stable game managing taking care of extensive players through reorganizing numerous RS(Region Server) and mutual communications among RS's which can be avoid congestion on one region. Moreover, it is possible to synchronize for game nodes in time stamp utilizing Global Zone Buffer of Monitoring Server which leads to breakup loads. The system manages middleware layers in the so-called sub area, and it is able to execute no matter how big the game sizes are. That means, in some ways, we got everything we try to ensure such as the problems of high cost server and stabilization of message transmission. This paper welcomes to prove efficiency of the suggested system through the simulation.

본 논문에서는 현재 급변하는 국내 게임 산업의 변화를 살펴보면 소수의 인원으로 짧은 시간에 개발이 가능하고 휴대가 간편하며 리스크가 적은 스마트폰 게임 시장의 확장이 두드러지고 있다. 반면에 온라인 게임시장은 무분별한 규제 및 메이져급 게임회사의 중, 소 게임 회사 인수합병으로 인해서 게임 업계는 위축되는 현상으로 가고 있다. 하드웨어, 소프트웨어 및 플랫폼 환경의 빠른 변화로 인해서 게임 개발에 또 다른 영향을 주고 있는데 클라우드 서비스로 인해서 이동형 게임을 더욱 가속화 시킬 수 있게 되었고, On-Live같은 미들웨어 기술의 성장 속도를 보면 고 하이 퀄리티 게임을 이제는 무선 인터넷망을 통해서 손쉽게 즐길 수 있는 방향으로 진화하고 있다고 본다. 이러한 변화에 발맞춰서 게임 개발 환경 및 구축 형태도 진화 시켜야 한다고 보는데 기술적으로는 클라우드 서비스와 미들웨어 쪽에 맞춰서 개발해야 하고, 역기능 부분의 개선책으로 순기능 부분의 기능성 게임은 앞으로 개발 가능성이 매우 높으며 그 중 실버세대와 교육용 게임 시장이 대세로 될 것이다. 즉 이러한 트렌드 분석을 통해서 국내 게임의 발전 방향에 대해서 단점을 극복하고 장점을 부각시켜야 한다.

As research for URC robot to advance the robot system dissemination and pracical use becomes active, also interest for robot platform and standardization is increasing. However, URC robot middleware does not involve a convergence with IT. Although it seems to be a high connection between robots and IT, the existing middleware has not considered different environments, thus making convergence efforts difficult. The middleware should improve their functions in order to synchronize with IT and to interact through formatted messages. In this paper, we present the necessity of the formatted message in the development of URC platform. In addition, design of the message protocol for the convergence based on the analysis of RUPI, OPC and SECS-II.

Game technologies are now applied in various engineering areas such as the simulation of surgical operation or the implementation of a cyber model house. One of the essential and important technology in these applications is cutting of the 3D polygon model in real time. Real-time cutting technology is an essential technology needed to implement the simulation of a building demolition or a car assembly for training or educational purpose. Previous cutting method using the conventional BSP-Tree structure has some limitations in that they divide the whole world including the 3D model and its environment, only into two parts with respect to an infinite plane. In this paper, we show a technique cutting the 3D model in a finite extent in order to solve this problem. Specifically, we restricted the cut surface in a finite rectangular area and constructed the mesh for the divided surface. To show the usefulness of our partial cutting technique, an example of the dismantling process simulation of a nuclear reactor polygon model was illustrated.
