  • The current categorization of digital games is not objective and is unable to assess the latest and more complex digital games. Digital games need to be systematically categorized so that similarities and differences can be identified and analyzed. The fundamental characteristic of digital games is interactivity. This paper addresses the current categorization gaps through the lens of interactivity. Through this lens, a conceptual framework consisting of primary and corresponding participants and controlling characters is developed. Future research topics are then presented based on this framework.

  • Due to the wide growth and popularity of social network website, large numbers of users discover these social network sites are a place where they can be able to spend their leisure time sharing interests, sharing ideas freely, sharing personal experience, and also to search for new friends or partners. These websites give an opportunity for its users to socialize with new people and to keep in touch or reconnect with current or old friends and families across disperse continents, which traditionally replace the common traditional methods. These social network websites need accurate and careful investigations and findings on the usability issues for effective interactivity and more usability. However, little research might have previously invested on the usability of these social network websites. Therefore, we propose a new framework to study and test the usability of these social network sites. We namely call our framework "Interactivity". This framework will enable developers to assess the usability of the social network sites. It will provide an overview of the user's behavior while interacting in these social network websites. Performance of the framework will be performed using Camtasia software. This software will entirely capture the interactivity of users including the screen and the movements, which the screen and the motion of the user action will undergo to analysis at the end of our research.

  • The fundamental characteristic that digital games have is interactivity. Digital games need to be systematically categorized so that similarities and differences can be identified and analyzed. Research in the past, however, has not established common criteria for categorizing digital games. This paper resolves that gap by identifying the fundamental characteristic of games, interactivity, and develops a conceptual framework consisting of primary and corresponding participants, and controlling characters. Through an empirical analysis on some digital games, this study shows that the framework could be comprehensive covering all of interactivity during the game. Future research topics are presented based on this framework.

  • It is of great importance to categorize the genres of online games in order to get a useful conceptual framework. The reason for this is so that we can distinguish between the similarities and differences between the types of games. Most of researches, however, have not provided common criteria, other than subjective criteria or experiences. This paper finds the fundamental characteristic of games, that is, their interactivity and develops a conceptual framework including primary and corresponding participants, and controlling characters. Through an empirical research on World of Warcraft, this study shows that the framework is comprehensive covering all of interactivity at WoW and an useful tool for analyzing online games.

  • While Linux-based mobile devices such as smartphones are increasingly used, they often exhibit poor response time. One of the factors that influence the user-perceived interactivity is the high page fault rate of interactive tasks. Pages owned by interactive tasks can be removed from the main memory due to the memory contention between interactive and background tasks. Since this increases the page fault rate of the interactive tasks, their executions tend to suffer from increased delays. This paper proposes a framework-assisted selective page protection mechanism for improving interactivity of Linux-based mobile devices. The framework-assisted selective page protection enables the run-time system to identify interactive tasks at the framework level and to deliver their IDs to the kernel. As a result, the kernel can maintain the pages owned by the identified interactive tasks and avoid the occurrences of page faults. The experimental results demonstrate the selective page protection technique reduces response time up to 11% by reducing the page fault rate by 37%.

  • In theese day, games are often referred as the most potential media to have artistic and entertaining features of digital technology, In this study, used to derive the factors of enjoyment and immersion that users experience from interaction and narrative levels in games were derived The framework of interaction and narrative levels in games was adopted from Marie-Laure Ryan's(2002) and Hyewon Han's(2005) study. The framework was used as the basic instrument for focus group interviews. The result of this study provides a practical model for game-design.

  • The rapid growth of economic transactions generated by live streaming broadcasts ("LSB") has created opportunities for retailers to increase sales. However, little is known about what impact LSB celebrities have on customers and what causes LSB celebrities to become famous. This study aimed to fill this gap by studying the economics of LSBs. This study was conducted through a para-social relationship and attractiveness theory framework. Consequently, social and task attraction were assumed to be the antecedents of the para-social relationship that induced purchase intention. This study examined the impact of relationship rewards, self-disclosure, affective interactivity, informative interactivity, and the amount of information provided on purchase intentions through LSB. Celebrities can use the results of this study to enhance their appeal to fans and promote customers' purchase on e-commerce. This study contributed to the IS field by investigate the impact of para-social relationship on the online shopping context.

  • Virtual Reality (VR) represents a key technology for future shopping platforms. This study examined the effect of vividness and interactivity, the two technological characteristics of VR, and fashion involvement, a consumer characteristic, on a consumer's intent to use VR stores under the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The study explained consumers' belief in a new technology and the process underlying the use behavior. The survey was conducted on 200 people between the ages of 20s and 30s via an online survey firm. Data are analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The results showed that a greater level of perceived vividness had a positive effect on ease of use and playfulness, while perceived interactivity had a significant impact on usefulness and playfulness. The findings also indicated that consumers with a high degree of fashion involvement tend to perceive a higher level of playfulness through VR shopping. Regarding the effects of consumer beliefs, perceived ease of use had a positive influence on usefulness perception. A higher level of perceived usefulness and playfulness meant a higher consumer intention to adopt a VR shopping platform.

  • As we know, broadcasting implies a unilateral transmission by one sender to several recipients of information generally produced by third parties. Contrary to that, telecommunications implies an exchange between participants. Participants exchange information they produce during an interaction. However, in the age of convergence between telecommunication and broadcasting, it becomes difficult to determine exactly the boundary between services classified under telecommunications and those classified under broadcasting services. This means that new regulatory regime should be introduced to meet the convergence between telecommunication and broadcasting. In this article, we try to overcome the existing framework for understanding and regulating convergent services. In order to develop more powerful and useful framework for dealing with new convergent services, we focus on the original characteristic of "cast services," which could give us very significant basis for further discussion. "Cast services," such as traditional broadcasting services, have the characteristics of both public goods (non-exclusivity and non-rivalry in consumption) and non-interactivity. Depending on the existence of these three characteristics, we are able to apply different regulatory regime to those convergent services.
