A Serious Game helps the learners to recognize the problems effectively, grasp and classify important information needed to solve the problems and convey the contents of what they have learned. Owing not only to this game-like fun but also to the educational effect, The Serious Game can be usefully applied to education and training in the areas of scientific technology and industrial technology. This study proposes the Serious Game that users can apply to biotechnology by using intuitive multi-modal interfaces. In this study, a stereoscopic monitor is used to make three dimensional molecular structures, and multi-modal interface is used to efficiently control. Based on a such system, this study easily solved the docking simulation function, which is one of the important experiments, by applying these game factors. For this, we suggested the level-up concept as a game factor that depends on numbers of objects and users. The proposed system was evaluated in performance comparison in result time of a new drug design process on AIDS virus with previous approach.

Seunglamdonoli was a traditional board game played during the Chosun Dynasty. In this article, I interpret its features as a board game and discuss the possibility of turning it into a mass market game like Milton Bradley's 'The Game of Life' in the U.S. Seunglamdonoli uses the dice to determine movements around a board shaped like Korea, teaching players about important geographic locations, and traditional characters in a game that relies on strategy as well as luck. With appropriate changes such as introducing a standardized game board or digitalization for use on computers, Seunglamdonoli has potential to again become a popular pastime as well as become tool for learning about Korean history, geography, and society. Furthermore it can be adapted as an educational game for any location with minimal changes.

The robot soccer simulation game is a dynamic multi-agent environment. In this paper we suggest a new reinforcement learning approach to each agent's dynamic positioning in such dynamic environment. Reinforcement learning is the machine learning in which an agent learns from indirect, delayed reward an optimal policy to choose sequences of actions that produce the greatest cumulative reward. Therefore the reinforcement learning is different from supervised learning in the sense that there is no presentation of input-output pairs as training examples. Furthermore, model-free reinforcement learning algorithms like Q-learning do not require defining or learning any models of the surrounding environment. Nevertheless these algorithms can learn the optimal policy if the agent can visit every state-action pair infinitely. However, the biggest problem of monolithic reinforcement learning is that its straightforward applications do not successfully scale up to more complex environments due to the intractable large space of states. In order to address this problem, we suggest Adaptive Mediation-based Modular Q-Learning (AMMQL) as an improvement of the existing Modular Q-Learning (MQL). While simple modular Q-learning combines the results from each learning module in a fixed way, AMMQL combines them in a more flexible way by assigning different weight to each module according to its contribution to rewards. Therefore in addition to resolving the problem of large state space effectively, AMMQL can show higher adaptability to environmental changes than pure MQL. In this paper we use the AMMQL algorithn as a learning method for dynamic positioning of the robot soccer agent, and implement a robot soccer agent system called Cogitoniks.

Functional game, which is the combination of play and learning and a futuristic tool, can minimize the dysfunction and maximize the proper functions, and furthermore, has taken root as a new alternative that can change the game industry and game culture. Recently, the focus of game and education markets is shifting to the development of more advanced learning contents, rather than emphasizing the self-control and motivation of users. Along with that, the game market has excluded the socially dysfunctional elements, such as the addiction and learning disabilities, and has witnessed a diversification into the human-friendly entertainment business that emphasizes the mental and physical health and pursues scientific educational effects. In addition, functional games are expanding its reach from the professional sectors - such as medical aide/medical learning, military simulation, health, auxiliary tools, special education and learning tools - to the realm of routine education, mental health, etc., and has seen a steady growth. However, most functional games, which are being currently planned and developed to cope with the special characteristics of the market, have not undergone accurate scientific assessment of their functions and have not proven their effectiveness. An overwhelming proportion of the functional games are being developed based on the intuition and experience of game developers. Moreover, the type of games, which involve the repetition of simple tasks or take the form of simple puzzles, cannot effectively combine the practically interesting factors and the learning effects. Most games incorporate unscientific methods leading to the vague anticipation of improvement in functions, rather than the assessment of human functions. In this paper, a study was conducted to present the measures that could maximize the effects of functional games in relation to the changes in the visual and auditory stimulations in order to maximize the effects of functional games, i,e., the immersion and concentration. To compare the degree of effects arising from the visual stimulation, the functional game contents made in the form of 2D and 3D were utilized. In addition. ultra sound and 3-dimensional functional game contents were utilized to compare the degree of effects resulting from the changes in the auditory stimulation. The brainwave of the users were measured while conducting the experiments related to the response to the changes in visual and auditory stimulations in 3 steps, and the results of the analysis were compared.

The study was conducted for cohering academical achievement of serious game studies as well as for attempting to give directions for interdisciplinary development. The purpose of the study were, first, it provides a rationale for integrating game studies lied scattered into a game study field or game industry. Second, by providing exemplary studies according to categories and by analyzing how those studies have been studied, this study provides a milestone for future researchers who are interested in serious game studies. In the article, the author suggests the extended definition of educational serious game study. The educational serious game study is "the study which investigates educational affordances of game including both explicitly intended designed for education and designed for fun but having implicit educational meanings, through the context of formal educational settings as well as informal environments." The author also researched how extended educational serious game studies have been researched according to four categories; game studies which researched educationally designed serious games, commercial games used for educational fields, educational serious games for informal learning, and those found meanings of games. This study has scholarly significance, especially on game study fields. for delineating game studies, a range of proposed and actual applications of educational serious game are reviewed, guiding directions for future studies.

창의성 연구는 개인적, 사회적 맥락에서 고려해야 할 다양한 시사점을 가진 분야이다. 하지만 지금까지 창의성 연구는 창의성 자체에 대한 개념이 명확하지 않을 뿐 아니라, 창의성을 태어날 때부터 타고나는 고유한 영역이라는 인식 때문에 그에 대한 연구가 비교적 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 창의성이 새로운 정보를 기존 지식과 결합하여 이를 문제상황에서 적용하여 유용함을 입증하는 행위라는 전제하에, 각 개인에게 내재된 창의적 사고 능력이 특정한 지시 혹은 학습방법(소리내어 가르치기)의 경험을 통해 발현될 수 있으리라 보았다. 창의성의 핵심요소인 통합적, 분석적, 실용적 사고능력을 측정하여 창의성이 높고, 낮은 집단을 구분하고, 이를 근거로 게임 규칙을 소리내어 가르치기 경험을 한 집단과 통제집단(단순암기)으로 각각 구분하여 게임에서 승리, 즉 창의적 문제해결이 소리내어 가르치기 방법을 통해 실현될 수 있음을 알아보고자 했다. 창의적 사고능력은 소리내어 가르치기를 경험한 집단에서 유의미하게 발현되었다. 또한 소리내어 가르치는 경험을 한 실험참가자들은 프로토콜 분석에서 보다 정교화된 게임의 규칙을 생성하였으며, 게임의 규칙을 정확히 알고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 가르치는 경험을 통해 새로운 정보를 보다 잘 조직화하고, 이를 실제 문제상황에 적용한 것으로 해석되었다.

이 논문은 게임물리엔진에서 게임세계의 물리적인 요소를 통하여 게임에 존재하는 캐릭터들에게 인공지능을 부여하기 위한 연구에 관해서 다룬다. 게임속에서의 물리적인 상황을 자동인식하기 위해서 신경망을 이용하였다. 게임속에서의 인공지능의 적용은 게임의 속도저하를 가져오게 되는데 이 논문에서는 그러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 물리엔진에서 캐릭터의 움직임을 계산하는 수치적분 메서드들에 대한 각 물리상황에 따른 최적의 성능을 분석하여 각각의 물리 상황마다 다른 수치 적분 메서드를 적용하는 내부 구조를 취하였다. 수치적분 메서드에 대한 각각의 성능 분석은 세가지의 물리적 상황을 구분하여 그에 기반하여 실험되었다. 인공지능 캐릭터에 대한 실험은 신경망의 토폴로지에 대한 변화와 학습 횟수에 대한 변화 및 은닉층에 대한 변화로 신경망에서의 최적의 성능에 대한 평가를 실시하였다.

There have been many topics in gamer research on gamers' game addiction, education, and psychological interest. This paper investigates how to perceive the virtual environment of gamers based on James Gibson 's theories of cognitive science. Gibson's theory is not a stimulus input through individual sensory receptors, but rather a learning process such as establishing a cognitive relationship between perceptual systems, external invariant property separation, behavioral learning, invariant property separation of events, selectiveism development. Based on this analysis tool, I collected and verified gamers' perception of game environment of by FGI survey method. The results of the analysis showed that Gibson 's perceptual learning process was perceived as a virtual environment as in reality, and there was also perceptual difference found only in games. Patterned perception develops in the direction of classifying invariant properties appearing in the game based on the purpose of the game. In this study, it can be seen as a result of the research that FGI interview can be summarized as patterning (typification) perception process based on the goal consciousness of gamers. But,The results of the study suggest that the psychological analysis of the gamer can not be presented by the FGI results alone. In the future, we need a model study to confirm the causality and the verification through statistical analysis.
