Many organizations at home and abroad have been developing Metadata for reservation and administration of resources in every field. So we developed a game contents Metadata model for the purpose of reusing game contents, reserving copyrights, managing its life cycle, supporting efficiency of searches, and so on. We proceeded with this study by mapping, re-defining, and adding through the analysis of international Metadata standards and the survey of characteristics of game. Developed model is composed of 13 essential elements, 15 selective elements, and expressed by XML. Then we verified the effectiveness of this model's through expert groups' questionnaires, and showed the significance of the development through comparative analysis with the standard models. Accordingly we guess this study will be helpful to stable growth in rapidly growing game industry.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the parent related factors that influence internet game addiction among elementary school students. Method: Data was collected through self-administered questionnaires and descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation and stepwise multiple regression were used to analyze the data. Data survey was conducted with 739 conveniently selected students who were in grades 4, 5, and 6 of elementary schools in Seoul or Gyung-gi province. Results: The addiction groups were classified as general user group (84.3%), potential risk group (10.0%) and high risk group (5.7%). There were significant internet game addiction differences by gender, grade, expense of internet cafe, religion, school record, place where child played, economic status, and duration and frequency of game play. The addiction was negatively correlated to parents' attachment, supervision, attitude to child nurturing, and expectations regarding school study. The most significant variables were both parents' attitude to child nurturing, and mother's supervision. These three variables explained 20.7% of internet game addiction in elementary school students. Conclusion: These findings are expected to make a contribution to the creation of ideal interventions at school, home, and counselling centers to prevent internet game addiction.

A Human Computation Game(HCG) is designed to solve difficult problems that cannot be dealt with computers with a large number of individuals' voluntary participations. Most existing relative studies focus on building more efficient system for problem solving, or the individual cases on the development of certain HCGs. However, a game is fully completed by the players who play it. Therefore, additional research is needed to annalize the ludic elements of HCGs, which induce people to play them voluntarily. We studied the purposes, tasks, and the game mechanics of 31 HCGs, then suggested how to design more enjoyable HCGs.

The purpose of the present study is to build a theoretical basis for game character that represents the various personalities and interacts with the other characters in the game, applying the HEXACO theory to game character. It is hard to use the HEXACO to the game because the HEXACO is a theory based on the real world, on the contrary, the game has features of the virtual reality. Therefore, the HEXACO needs to be converted to Game HEXACO(G-HEXACO) for applying personality factors to the game character. To achieve this, we surveyed the HEXACO-PI-R and game questions related with the HEXACO factors. On the basis of the results, we designed G-HEXACO. This study means that the HEXACO could be replaced with the G-HEXACO to applying personality factors to the game character.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the actual situation of the surrogate games and win trading gameplays in e-sports leagues, and to insist on the creation of new regulations to punish them. The surrogate game surveys was conducted for 40 amateur users and 17 professional users in e-sports leagues. The survey was conducted in-depth interviews with a professional user to learn more about the actual situation of the win trading gameplay. As a result of the study, professional users had a high rate of experience with Gahz'rilla, and they would be able to increase their game rankings through Gahz'rilla. But they did not think Gahz'rilla is a surrogate game. Amateur users had a low rate of experience with Gahz'rilla and did not think they would be able to increase their game rankings through Gahz'rilla relative to professional users. Amature users tend to think of Gahz'rilla as a surrogate game. Both the users agree on the necessity of regulation on Gahz'rilla and surrogate game. Therefore, it is necessary to narrow the gap between the professional users and the amateur users by establishing rules for Gahz'rilla and surrogate game.

Game theory is adapted to a variety of domains such as economics, biology, engineering, political science, computer science, and philosophy in order to analyze economic behaviors. This research is an application of game theory to wireless communication. In particular, in terms of bargaining game we dealt with a multimedia resource allocation algorithm in wireless communication, which is rapidly spreading such as Wibro, WCDML, IPTV, etc. The algorithm is assumed to allocate multimedia resources to users who can choose and access differentiated media services. For this purpose, a utility function of users is devised to reflect quality of service (QoS) and price. We illustrated experimental results with synthesis data which were made to mimic real multimedia data, and analyzed differentiated service providing and the effect of the utility function.

The purpose of this study is to classify the types of internet personal game broadcasting in China and to examine viewers' preferences type of it. By targeting top 100 creators of Player-Unknown's Battleground streaming as a personal game broadcaster with over 100,000 followers, the game types were classified based on the purpose and characteristic of game broadcasting such as game play, entertainment, and audience participation. As a result, the type of internet personal game broadcasting in China was classified into progamer type, cooperative playing type, storytelling type, and reciprocal entertainment type. The progamer type was 38% and it was the highest proportion of Player-Unknown's Battlegrounds streaming. Next came storytelling type, cooperative playing type and reciprocal entertainment type with 25%, 19% and 18% respectively. In sum, progamer type and storytelling type which shows relatively low real - time communication with audiences accounted for a high percentage of 63%. This implies that the characteristics of the broadcast media focused on 'showing' have influenced the production and planning of personal game broad casting. The interactive characteristics of the platform of personal game broad casting can be expected to gradually change the conventional customs of broadcasting media.
