Abstract:

The work deals with game object simulation. Traditionally, this program is considered to be a professional tool of architects and interior designers. The reason for this is the convenience in 3D modeling of solid objects, the great freedom in the creation of models and quality modules for photorealistic visualization.

Abstract:

This thesis aims to clearly describe the cognitive radio and its components and operations. Moreover, it aims on describing the expected outcome from the most common techniques that are proposed for use in cognitive radios. In addition, it describes the basic principles of game theory and some simple game models that can be used to analyze the efficiency of the optimization algorithms. Furthermore, it investigates the use of load balancing algorithm and genetic algorithm in optimizing the decision making operation in cognitive radios.

Abstract:

While many games incorporate physics to simulate different aspects of gameplay, this is uncommon when it comes to fluid flows like wind, due to the complexity of the associated equations. The challenge increases in 3-dimensional worlds with large world maps and a real-time simulation. It is however possible to simplify a simulation by prioritizing visual and gameplay effects rather than physical accuracy, while still using a physically-sound system as a base. What this means for each game will differ depending on the architecture of the game, the desired outcome and acceptable performance cost

Abstract:

Abstract Game contingent claims (GCCs), as introduced by Kifer (2000), are a generalization of American contingent claims where the writer has the opportunity to terminate the contract, and must then pay the intrinsic option value plus a penalty. In complete markets, GCCs are priced using no-arbitrage arguments as the value of a zero-sum stochastic game of the type described in Dynkin (1969). In incomplete markets, the neutral pricing approach of Kallsen and Kühn (2004) can be used. In Part I of this thesis, we introduce GCCs and their pricing, and also cover some basics of mathematical financ

Abstract:

Wind is a natural phenomenon that interacts with the majority of physical objects to some extent. Yet, in games this is often neglected. This is largely due to the complexity of the physics behind wind, in relation to the impact that it may have on the game experience. Adding to the complexity of wind is the fact that many modern games are networked, meaning multiple players need to share a consistent world view. Wind is inherently chaotic in nature, which is a problem for networked games that heavily favors deterministic behavior. In this thesis we will summarize the current state of the art,

Abstract:

This research has undertaken two key mandates.

The other was to understand what, if any, learning associated with water management issues had taken place as a result of playing the ACG. The modification process took the form of an action research process. The initial modifications were trialed with South African students as part of their undergraduate Geography course offered at Rhodes

Traffic Cop is a game where the player become a traffic police officer trainee and direct the traffic to reduce the car accident rate in MA. The game is a top-down view traffic simulation and the player need to respond to the violations correctly. The game is aimed at new drivers ages from 16-24 and the purpose is to change the drivers' attitude about safe driving. Player will learn what they should stay focused on while driving and what the consequences may be when they choose to violate the traffic signal.

For First Person Shooter (FPS) games, where delay is even more important, Internet delay can determine who wins or loses a game. The previous research showed that player at a distance was disadvantaged due to larger delay.

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) adopts a decentralized communication architecture which relies on cooperation among nodes at each layer of the protocol stack. Its reliance on cooperation for success and survival makes the ad hoc network particularly sensitive to variations in node behavior. Specifically, for functions such as routing, nodes which are limited in their resources may be unwilling to cooperate in forwarding for other nodes. Such selfish behavior leads to degradation in the performance of the network and possibly, in the extreme case, a complete cessation of operations. Consequentl

This thesis covers an experiment which explores how effectively skills that are gained in a digital serious game can be transferred to a real situation. The context of the experiment is the casual restaurant industry, with focus on the task of a food runner. The results showed to be unreliable when ruling out the chance element with the use of t-tests, which points to that the data produced were coincidental, however the limited deviation in the groups’ performances indicate that there is potential in the addition of a digital game to the traditional training material. This is learned from the

Abstract:

The debate of economic inequality is long-lived and have in the recent years come to be reignited. Although there is little research that supports fully eradicating wealth inequality, the subject of appropriate levels of inequality is an extensively discussed matter. This paper uses a model based upon the board game Monopoly to discuss the drivers of wealth inequality, and study the effect of introducing georgistic, income and wealth taxation respectively in the game. Using iterated simulations the results yielded display evidence of wealth and georgistic taxation having a noteworthy impact on

Abstract:

Power systems have evolved significantly during the last two decades with the advent of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) like solar PV. Traditionally, large power plants were considered as the sole source of energy in the power systems. However, DERs connected to the transmission and the distribution systems are creating a paradigm shift from a centralized generation to a distributed one. Though the variable power output from these DERs poses challenges to the reliable operation of the grid, it also presents opportunities to design control and coordination approaches to improve system effic

Abstract:

Dans la plupart des discours à propos des nouvelles technologies et artefacts numériques, l’idée qu’il s’agirait de mondes ou d’univers virtuels semble omniprésente. C’est particulièrement le cas des jeux vidéo, qui offrent le sentiment d’une véritable « immersion » dans ces mondes. Pourtant, cette notion de « monde » reste encore peu définie avec précision, malgré sa centralité en philosophie, ce qui rend d’autant plus difficile le fait de supposer une frontière entre le « monde réel » et le « monde du jeu ». Afin d’élucider cette notion de « monde vidéoludique », ce travail de thèse croise d
