In the market of First Person Shooter (FPS) games, Massively Multi-player Online FPS games (MMOFPS) like 'PlanetSide 2' have been popular recently. Dead reckoning has been widely used in order to mitigate the network traffic overload for the game server with hundreds or thousands of people. This paper proposes the efficient analytical method to calculate the tolerable threshold angle of moving direction, which is one of the most important factors for character status updating when dead reckoning is used in MMOFPS games. The experimental results with game testers shows that the proposed method minimizes the position error for character moving and provides natural direction updates of characters.

Multiplayer games typically organized based on a client-server(CS) or peer-to-peer(PP) architecture. The CS architecture is not scalable with the number of players due to a large bandwidth requirement at the server. The PP architecture, on the other hand, introduces significant overhead for the players, as each player needs to check the consistency between its local state and the state of all other players. We then propose a method that combines the merits of CS and PP. In this method, players exchange updates with lower priority in a peer-to-peer manner but communicate directly with a central server for the other updates. As a result, the proposed method has a lower network bandwidth requirement than the server of a CS architecture and the server bandwidth bottleneck is removed. For another important issue about multiplayer games, this method always maintains state consistency among players correctly. The performance of this method is evaluated through extensive simulation experiments and analysis.

Recently, as the types of services that can be enjoyed in mobile telecommunication networks such as social networks and video streaming are increasing, mobile users(MUs) can access mobile contents easily by consuming mobile data. However, under a mobile telecommunication environment, MUs have to pay a high data fee to a network service provider(SP) in order to enjoy contents. The 'data sponsor' technique, introduced as a way to solve this problem, has attracted attention as a breakthrough method for enhancing contents accessibility of MUs. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that determines the optimal discount rate through the Stackelberg game in the data sponsor environment. We also propose an algorithm to design edge caching, which caches highly popular content for MUs on edge server, through many-to-many matching game. Simulation results clearly indicate that the profit for CP's content consumption is improved by about 6~11%, and the profit of CP according to the ratio of edge caching is improved by about 12% than the other existing schemes under data sponsor environment.

We researched economic efficiency and possibility of game portal service based PDA/Smart phone by popularize of next generation portable internet WiBro. PDA/Smart phone are difficult to equal level content service with PC, because of it has low CPU and memory than PC. This paper are implemented paper of integrated server of Cable or Wireless for WiBro contents. In this research, we implemented and show test result of CP killer contents in PDA. It can apply to WiBro portable internet and has required many functions in integrated server for cable or wireless. CP Killer contents for WiBro portable internet is developed by PC server base on Window XP. It can accept next generation wireless LAN, portable internet and ubiquitous issues. We expect activation of commercial use that WiBro contents and server trading.

클라이언트-서버 구조의 온라인 게임에서 서버의 역할은 매우 중요하다. 그러나 서버에 너무 많은 사용자가 동시에 접속할 경우에는 과도한 부하로 인하여 안정적인 서비스를 제공하지 못하는 경우가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 여러 대의 분산 서버를 활용한 방법이 사용되고 있다 분산 서버 구조에서는 부하가 특정 서버로 집중되는 것을 막는 것이 전체 시스템의 성능 향상을 위하여 필요하다. 이를 위하여 부하 평형 기법을 사용하고 있으며 관련 연구도 활발히 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 분산 서버를 이용한 온라인 게임 서버의 구조를 설계하고, 대량 사용자의 제약을 극복하기 위한 하나의 방안으로 다중 서버 시스템에서 실행되는 게임 서버 프로세스들에 대한 부하 평형 기법을 제시한다. 제안된 기법에서는 전체 게임을 소규모의 여러 게임 세상(Game World)으로 나누고 서비스가 진행되는 상황에서 게임 세상을 게임 서버들 사이에서 이동시킨다.

MMORPG enables thousands of players to play in an evolving virtual world at the same time over the internet. So, the load of this kind of games is heavier than that of any other precedents. One of load balancing methods is map-partition to divide the load of entire system which is vulnerable to delay message between clients and servers. In this paper, we propose a game architecture using MigAgent to help migration of player character between field servers and to reduce message traffic between clients and field servers.

본 논문은 대규모 네트워크 온라인 게임에서 게임 진행 중에 발생할 수 있는 부하를 최소화 할 수 있고 추후 확장이 용이한 온라인 게임 서버의 구조에 대해 설명한다. 본 논문에서 설명하는 게임 서버는 게임 서버가 제공해야 하는 기능별로 로그인 서버, 존 서버, 사용자 관리 서버, 그리고 DB 에이전트로 구성된다. 각 서버들은 상호 연관관계를 최소화하여 어느 한 서버에 고장이 발생하였을 때 전체 게임에 발생할 수 있는 문제를 최소화 할 수 있고 추후 확장이 용이한 구조이다.

Large amount of data is being generated in gaming servers due to the increase in the number of users and the variety of game services being provided. In particular, load balancing schemes for gaming servers are crucial consideration. The existing literature proposes algorithms that distribute loads in servers by mostly concentrating on load balancing and cooperative offloading. However, many proposed schemes impose heavy restrictions and assumptions, and such a limited service classification method is not enough to satisfy the wide range of service requirements. We propose a load balancing agent that combines the dynamic allocation programming method, a type of greedy algorithm, and proximal policy optimization, a reinforcement learning. Also, we compare performances of our proposed scheme and those of a scheme from previous literature, ProGreGA, by running a simulation.

웹 애플리케이션 개발에 있어 웹 디자이너와 소프트웨어 개발자의 역할을 분리하는 것은 소프트웨어 작업 능률을 높이고 생산성을 증대시키기 위해 요구되는 사항이며 웹 디자이너와 소프트웨어 개발자의 모듈의 응집도(cohesion)를 높이고 결합도(coupling)를 낮추기 위해 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 JSP 기반에서 사용되었던 기법들을 살펴보고 JSP(Java Server Page) 작성 시 페이지 디자이너와 소프트웨어 개발자의 역할을 효율적으로 분리하기 위해 커스텀(custom) 태그를 사용하여 HTML 코드와 Java 로직을 분리하여 개선된 개발환경을 제공해 주는 COHALS(Component Of Html And Logic Separation) 컴포넌트를 제시한다.
