The character is one of most important interest-element in role playing game genres since it shows the individuality. In general cases, game players allocate points to talent clauses that they choose. However, it is not easy to provide the suitable character-growing to players in generic system since the cases are too simple and based on just humans choices. In this paper, we propose the character growing system based on the player type inference module. Growth morphology is determined by player's behavior or type. The determination is based on petri-net. Our experimental results and analysis show that our proposed approach is suitable for character-growing system.

Game artificial intelligence is usually used to provide intelligent and adjusted game environment for user. Previously, it was used for Non-player character(NPC) playing a role of a company or an enemy through collecting and analyzing a user's behaviour. However, it was just mimicking the user's behavior. This paper introduces a method to change game environment by analyzing a user's game behavior. Game behavior data has been used to understand user's game preference. Also, the user's preference was used to provide more active game environment by reflecting decision of geographical features, items and distribution of NPC. For experiment of the suggested method, we utilized a real 2D action game and confirmed the game environment which changing properly according to the user's game play.

Restructuring of the electric power industry has brought the issue of market competitiveness to surface. Recent years have witnessed the appearance of a particular seller or group of sellers exercising market power in electricity supply. In fact, much scholarly work has been done on how to identify and mitigate such abuse by market management rules. In this paper we assess the possible market power on the basis of pivotal supplier test and propose the method to determine the reasonable quantity of long-term contracts which can play a crucial role in mitigating the market power for a pivotal player. Furthermore the market efficiency is guaranteed by making long term contracts with a pivotal player up to the quantity to ensure that the pivotal player has no incentive to abuse the pivotal quantity in the electricity market.

Recently, Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) has become increasingly popular, which continue to increase the number of game player. The volume of the game world also has been extended on a large scale. Existing Map-based distributed server architecture divides the game world into the rectangular regions and allocates the registered player in each region to the server responsible for that region. Players tend to concentrate in certain regions of the game world, which makes some special server overloaded. This paper proposes to change the boundary between servers to solve such a unbalanced load problem. Our proposed method first finds the overloaded server and then searches for its neighboring lightest loaded server to share with the overload evenly. Finally we implemented performance evaluation to demonstrate the efficiency of this approach.

컴퓨터 게임 중 MMORPG(Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Game)는 다른 장르(Genre)의 게임들과 비교하여 상대적으로 개발 기간이 매우 길고, 게임을 구성하는 콘텐츠(contents)도 매우 방대하다. 그러나, MMORPG 를 처음 접하는 플레이어(Player)는 대부분의 경우, 단지 몇 시간 정도의 게임을 해본 후에 게임을 계속할지를 결정한다. 따라서, 플레이어가 게임을 지속적으로 즐기도록 하기 위해서 MMORPG 의 초기에 어떤 콘텐츠를 어떻게 제공할 것인지에 대한 설계는 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 현재 성공적으로 평가되는 MMORPG 들의 초기콘텐츠를 분석하고 이 분석을 기반으로 효과적인 초기콘텐츠 구성에 대해 기술한다. 이러한 연구는 개발되는 MMORPG 에서 초기 콘텐츠를 어떻게 효과적으로 구성할지에 대한 대안을 제시한다.

MMORPG(Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Games)와 같은 클라이언트-서버 기반의 대규모 온라인 게임은 정보 전송을 위한 많은 메시지들을 정의하여 사용한다. 그러나 게임의 기획이나 내용 및 기타 게임 요소들이 변경되면 개발자들은 메시지를 추가하거나 변경하는 문서를 작성해야 하고 작성된 문서에 근거하여 프로그램의 수정작업을 수행해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 대규모 온라인 게임의 내용확장성으로 인해 지속적으로 반복되는 메시지의 추가 및 변경 작업을 용이하게 해주는 XML 기반의 메시지 정의 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 메시지 정의에 있어서 데이터의 구조 표현과 내용 표현이 동시에 가능한 XML을 이용했으므로 다양한 형식 (format)의 메시지를 정의할 수 있으며, 대규모 온라인 게임뿐만 아니라 클라이언트-서버 기반의 일반 통신 응용 프로그램에도 사용할 수 있다.

The vibrational response of the two bones in a Volleyball player's arm under ball impact is conducted. The two bones in hand, Ulna and Radius, are modeled as two cylindrical shells. The formulations associated with the shells' vibration are obtained using the energy method. Then, the results are extracted with the aid of the two-dimensional form of DQM in conjunction with Runge-Kutta. The results are validated by means of a published paper. Lastly, the role of parameters in determining vibrational frequency as well as deflection is explored through parametric studies. It was shown that the impactor speed and the time of the impact could be essential factors in determining the vibration behavior of the bones. This work can be used in the further investigation of the behavior of bones and physiological structures.

This study aims at empiricallly designing method to increase player's play capability through determining of the relations of player's behavior pattern and emotion factors when having gameplay experiences in MMORPG. For modeling emotion factors on gameplay, Our preliminary studies are considered in the process of rule-based systems on cognitive science approach. These study estabilished game architecture process applied of player's cognitieve emotion reactions in specific situation of role playing games that have most noticeable interaction with players based on quest system. This approach is expected to extend instant responses, which can be controlled behind all of anti-main behavior pattern and main behavior pattern in game playing. Therefore, such study is meaningful that is proposed the analysis framework of player's emotion factors to design game playing capability in game interactions.

This study intended to analyze the transition of design of Korean soccer player's uniform according to development of the society and changes in formative elements, and examine features inside them by considering designs of soccer player's uniform by ages ranging from the introduction of soccer up to now. Results of the study are summed up below. First, as a result of analyzing designs of soccer player's uniforms from 1920 to 2002 Korea-Japan WorldCup based on formative elements of the style of dress. \circled1 it is shown that basic shape has been kept but changes in only color. cutting, trimming, logo and symbol have existed. \circled2 Colors of the uniforms have been different according to ages but red, blue and white colors have been used most and sometimes black was employed. so it is known that colors in the Korean national emblem have been all used. \circled3 In the beginning of the uniform there was a limitation in its design due to absence of functional materials but now highly-sensitive textile products and highly-functional textile materials guaranteeing optimal condition and highest activity of a soccer player have been utilized in various ways. \circled4 It is known that symbols modelling the image of Korea have been used in diverse ways but effected much by directions toward images pursued by designers of sponsors. Second, the meanings represented by designs of the uniforms are classified into a degree of symbolizing Korea, tradition, superiority and dynamics. That is to say, \circled1as colors and symbols coming from the emblem have been used in the uniforms. they have symbolized one nation and possessed the meaning representing even Korean national spirit. \circled2As traditional colouring and symbols have been used in the uniforms, they have shown the Korean sense of a beauty. \circled3 Colors, tones and designs overwhelming the mood of play have been used in the uniforms, so that they have played a role in making players of other team flinch mentally and making Korean players gain an advantage over them. \circled4 Thanks to strong symbols or comparative effects of colors. they have shown the dynamics representing power and energy.

Uniform navigation of NPCs in computer games is an important factor that can decrease the interest of game players. This problem is particularly noticeable in pathfinding when using a waypoint graph because the NPCs navigate using only predefined locations. In this paper we propose a method that enables adaptive navigations of NPCs by observing player movements. The proposed method involves modification of waypoints dynamically by observing the player's point designation and use of the modified waypoints for NPC's pathfinding. Also, we propose an algorithm to find the NPC-specific path by learning the landform preferences of players. We simulate the implemented algorithm in an RPG game made with Unity 4.0 and confirm that NPC navigations had more variety and improved according to player navigations.
