Online game-bots are already known for a lot of persons by various ways. It leads to problems such as declining game player's interest, in-game financial crisis, etc. Detecting and restricting of game-bot is now essential. Because both publishers and players get disadvantages from their long term abnormal working. But it is not easy to restrict, because of false restriction risks. Game publishers need to distinguish game-bot from server-side game logs. At last, it should can make reasons for game-bot restriction. In this paper, we classified game-bot users by using daily separated game logs for testing data. For daily-driven detection, we separated total dataset into one day logs. Preliminary detects game-bots with one day logs, and determines total results by using these data. Daily driven detection advantages on detection which contains combined game playing style. Which shows like normal user and game-bot. These methodology shows better F1-score, which one of indicator which demonstrate classification accuracy. It increases from 0.898 to 0.945 by using Random Forest classifier.

Many web-based simulation environments have been proposed to create models and execute simulation through the Web. Although web-based simulation has the advantage of utilizing many computers connected to Internet, overhead of the web server and heavy traffic caused by Java RMI degrade the performance and scalability of simulation. In this paper, we design and implement web-based distributed simulator using Java for the scalability and performance. In addition, we can apply the proposed simulator to create model server and client engines in online game. We apply the proposed simulator to simulate ATM switch queueing model.

Due to the spread of COVID-19, many local governments are burdened with the influx of large-scale tourists. As a climate that values Work-Life-Balance has emerged, interest in individual life and satisfaction is rapidly increasing. In addition, due to the popularity of the metaverse field, many people are increasingly interested in related content. In particular, "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" sold more than 15 million copies in 2020, and is enjoying exchanges of interior design, fishing, and collecting insects here. In line with this trend, this study introduces the development of online fishing games based on Jeju infrastructure. This paper focuses on implementation and development, and in particular, it introduces differentiated games through character animation optimized for developing a topographic model that maximizes the beauty of Jeju Island's topography based on the Unity 3D engine.

In-game cheating by the use of unauthorized software programs has always been a big problem that they can damage in First Person Shooting games, although companies operate a variety of client security solutions in order to prevent games from the cheating attempts. This paper proposes a method for detecting cheaters in FPS games by using game log analysis in a server-side. To accomplish this, we did a comparative analysis of characteristics between cheaters and general users focused on commonly loaded logs in the game. We proposed a cheating detection model by using artificial neural network algorithm. In addition, we did the performance evaluation of the proposed model by using the real dataset used in business.

A MMORPG(Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) is an online role-playing game in which a large number of players can interact with each other in the same world at the same time. Most of them require significant hardware requirements(e.g., servers and bandwidth), and dedicated support staff. Despite the efforts of developers, users often cite overpopulation, lag, and poor support as problems of games. In this paper, a dynamic load balancing method for MMORPGS is proposed. It tries to adapt to dynamic change of population by using dynamic map-partition method with VML(Virtual Map Layer) which consists of fields, sector groups, sectors, and cells. From the experimental results, our approach achieves about $23^{\sim}67%$ lower loads for each field server. By the modification to Virtual Area Layer, we can easily manage problems that come from changes of map data, resources' status, and users' behavior pattern.

Security issues in online games are increasing as the online game industry grows. Real money trading (RMT) by online game users has become a security issue in several countries including Korea because RMT is related to criminal activities such as money laundering or tax evasion. RMT-related activities are done by professional work forces, namely gold-farmers, and many of them employ the automated program, bot, to gain cyber asset in a quick and efficient way. Online game companies try to prevent the activities of gold-farmers using game bots detection algorithm and block their accounts or IP addresses. However, game bot detection algorithm can detect a part of gold-farmer's network and IP address blocking also can be detoured easily by using the virtual private server or IP spoofing. In this paper, we propose a method to detect gold-farmer groups by analyzing their connection patterns to the online game servers, particularly information on their routing and source locations. We verified that the proposed method can reveal gold-farmers' group effectively by analyzing real data from the famous MMORPG.

CEP(Complex Event Processing) is a technique to find complex event pattern in a massive information system. Based on CEP technique, an abuse pattern monitoring method has been developed to provide an real-time detection. In the method, the events occurred by game-play are observed to be against the rules using CEP. User abuse patterns are pre-registered in CEP engine. And CEP engine monitors user abuse after aggregating the game data transferred by game logging server. This article provides the performance analysis results of the abuse pattern monitoring method using real game DB. We results that the method proposed in previous study is effective to monitor abusing users.

When a dynamic method is applied at the time of occurrence of an client's connection request for most of the online gaming server engine, the gaming server is processing a session connection, it's initialization. Yet, such a method will cause a lot of loading and bottle-neck in the gaming server at the same time. Therefore we propose the object polling scheme to minimizes a memory fragmentation and loading of the initialization on the client using a static allocation method for an efficient On-lin gaming serverin this paper. We implement the gaming server applying to our proposed scheme, and we show an improvement in our proposed scheme by performance analysis in this paper.
