From the era of feature phone to the current smart phone which bloomed Social Network Games(SNGs), mobile games have held the top position as killer contents of mobile market. Mobile game has many constraints such as specification of device, network status, and external environment. Based on common perspective of game research, these factors have negative influences on flow of user. Even with these opinions, most mobile gamers have felt satisfaction. To explain this phenomenon, our research focuses on the constraints. Referring to theoretical concepts, we attempt to clarify the relationship between game features and flow through survey methodology. Our finding shows that the constraints have a positive effect on flow even though it disaccords with previous studies. Therefore, we argue that users of mobile game have sense of satisfaction not a cognitive overload as discomforts.

Focusing on the Chinese market of MSNG (Mobile Social Network Game), perceived flow and satisfaction were designed as parameters, purchasing intention was set up as dependent variables, the purpose of present research is to analyze the factors influencing purchase intention of the paid items in mobile social games by studying the game and personal characteristics in terms of interoperability, accessibility, interesting, operability, innovativeness and challenge. Data was collected by questionnaires, Amos was employed to analyze the relationship between purchase intention and target influencing factors. Results showed that characteristics of game and consumers of MSNG have positive effects on the flow and satisfaction of paid items. Moreover, the flow of paid items in MSNG has a positive effect on satisfaction; the flow and satisfaction of paid items in MSNG have a positive effect on purchase intention. more samples and references should be involved in the further study in order to acheive an comprehensive result on comparative study of the social and cultural characteristics between Chinese MSNG and Korean counterpart.

To solve modern social problems, it is important that improve the democratic citizenship quality of people. This quality includes the rational and democratic problem-solving capacity, decision-making capacity, democratic skills and attitudes such as human dignity, dialogue, compromise. To use an educational network simulation game that has the merits of game, simulatio and network will help children to improve the democratic citizenship educaiton. This study explorers the structure, flow, system, database, interface and teaching-learning tool for this educational network simulation game.

카카오톡, 페이스북 등의 소셜 네트워크 서비스(Social Network Service: SNS)가 발전함에 따라 이를 기반으로 하는 소셜 네트워크 게임(Social Network Game: SNG)이 지인과 함께 가볍게 즐길 수 있다는 장점을 내세워 유저들로부터 많은 호응을 얻고 있다. 특히 SNG가 갖는 장점은 언제 어디서나 즐길 수 있는 스마트폰 앱에 접목되면서 그 효과가 극대화되고 있다. 이에 많은 개발사들이 앞다투어 SNG 개발에 참여를 하고 있는 상황이지만 다양한 SNS 서비스 플랫폼에 비해 SNG 개발을 위한 공개 엔진은 없는 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 SNS 플랫폼을 통해 공통으로 사용할 수 있는 통합 관리 소셜 네트워크 엔진을 개발하는 과정과 구현된 엔진을 사용하여 디바이스를 통한 그래픽 출력 성능을 실험하였으며, 실험 결과 기존의 SNG와의 속도차이가 없음을 보여 주어 게임 구현하기에 충분함을 입증하였다.

SNG(social network game)은 최근 보편화된 SNS(social network service)를 기반으로 하는 게임으로 단순한 인터페이스와 진행방법을 제공하는 캐주얼 게임 위주로 서비스되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크를 통해 인적관계를 형성시켜주는 SNS 의 정의 및 SNS 에서 발전된 게임모델인 SNG 를 정의하고, SNS 와 SNG 의 결합모델을 3 가지로 분류하고 각각의 사례에 대해 분석한다. SNS 기반 SNG 서비스 모델로, SNS 서비스 1 위 업체인 Facebook 을 중심으로 소개하였으며, SNS 서비스를 이용하는 사용자 규모 및 서비스되고 있는 SNG 의 진행방식 및 특징을 설명한다. 다른 결합유형으로, 기존 온라인 게임 기반의 SNS 서비스 및 신규 SNS/신규 SNG 모델을 소개하고 각각의 예를 소개하였다.

Today people use a smartphone as a tool for enjoying personal hobbies or entertaining contents as well as communication media. Most of the traditional game-specific platforms have transferred to smartphones equipped with social network games that integrate games with human relationships. As average life span of most games has been shortened gradually, game companies should be ready to develop new games to meet user needs. In this study we investigate the acceptance of social games, enjoyable by users and their friends linked in social networks. Since user behavior of social games may show cultural differences by country, we perform a comparative study on acceptance of social games between Korean and Chinese users. The structural relationships among factors affecting social game adoption have been analyzed focusing on differences between Korean and Chinese. We analyze similarities and differences of adoption mechanism in two countries and present some practical implications for related industry.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic information to develop a game strategy plan of a team in a future by identifying the patterns of attack and pass of national men's professional volleyball teams and extracting core key words related with volleyball game performance to evaluate game performance using 'social network analysis' and 'text mining'. As for the analysis result of 'social network analysis' with the whole data, group '0' (6 players) and group '1' (11 players) were partitioned. A point of view the degree centrality and betweenness centrality in 'social network analysis' results, we can know that the group '1' more active game performance than the group '0'. The significant result for two group (win and loss) obtained by 'text mining' according to two groups ('0' and '1') obtained by 'social network analysis' showed significant difference (p-value: 0.001). As for clustering of each network, group '0' had the tendency to score points through set player D and E. In group '1', the player K had the tendency to fail if he attack through 'dig'; players C and D have a good performance through 'set' play.

As the smart phone market is drastically expanding, there is a steady growth of recent vicious activities such as data manipulation, billing fraud, identity theft, and leakage of personal information that are security threats to Social Network Games(SNG). Due to the threats, Strong development standard is required for security enhancement of SNG. Nonetheless, short life-spans, additional expenses, and the necessities to provide a sound game service hinders developers from reaching their security goals. Therefore, this research investigates the weak points of SNG through memory manipulation experiments based on the currently provided SNG services. In addition, the research presents counter measures and security enforcements that are light in service load and simplistic which can be applied in the developing process.

Social Network Service (SNS) with emergence of Web 2.0 have been developed rapidly. Unlike other games, social network game is based on the relationship with smart devices and studied for user-centered behavior as a potential factor derived from the Technical Acceptance Model (TAM). This research is conducted for finding out influencing factors on continuous intention for smart device users. Therefore, the independent variables consist of subjective norm, mobility, playfulness, self-efficacy, and ease of use. The intermediate variables also compose of flow, and user satisfaction and the dependent variables as continuous intention. The result of study shows the following: First, subjective norm, playfulness, self-efficacy and ease of use except mobility have the positive effect on user flow. Second, subjective norm, mobility, playfulness and ease of use except self-efficacy have significantly the positive effect on user satisfaction. Finally, user flow has significantly the positive effect on user satisfaction and continuance intention and a factor of user satisfaction have significantly the positive effect on continuance intention.
