CEPEG (Capturing and
Enhancing Player Entertainment in Cames)
Objective: The research goals of this
2-year project are to model in real time computer game players/users
satisfaction and strategies for commercial games using information available
from the game platform, and to construct software able to do this. To achieve
these goals the plan is to devise a method that efficiently identifies
qualitative features contributing to player satisfaction;
design quantitative measures for these features;
investigate the correlation between the type of player, the
real-time satisfaction estimation and the quantitative feature values and
develop and implement AI techniques based on user modelling
and machine learning that will augment the entertainment value of the game in
real-time.
Official title of the project: "Measuring and Enhancing Player Satisfaction in Computer Games Using Machine Learning Techniques"
Participants: Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute/University of
Southern Denmark (DK)
Project funded by: Danish Research Agency, Ministry of Science, Technology and
Innovation, Denmark.
Start: January 2006, End: December 2007.
Playware
Objective: The aim of the "playware" research is to develop
products that use IT to create play equipment and play environments that can
stimulate children and youth to engage in physical, social play and playful
learning. In particular, the aim is to identify and explore the possibilities
afforded by mobile and ambient intelligence computing for developing new play
environments. The play environments invite physical activating play to become an
important factor in the community's fight against an increasing child obesity
problem.
Description of research: Entertainment Modeling for Adaptive Interactive Physical Games.
Participants: Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute/University of
Southern Denmark (DK),
The Danish
University of Education (DK),
Kompan A/S (DK),
Wirtek A/S (DK).
Project funded by: (in part) Danish Research Agency, Ministry of Science,
Technology and Innovation, Denmark.
EURON Network
Objective: EURON is a community of people with a common interest:
robots. It brings together the best European robotics groups and resources in
research, industry and education. EURON aims to demonstrate Europe's world class
position in robotics.
Description of research: Development of a web repository on European robotics research including both industry and academia
Project funded by: EUropean RObotics research Network (EURON), European Union.
PLANET, European
Network of Excellence in AI Planning
Objective:AI Planning is a key enabling technology for
intelligent systems. It increases the autonomy, flexibility, and robustness for
a wide variety of application systems. These include web-based information and
e-commerce systems, autonomous virtual and physical agents, and systems for the
design and monitoring of production, management, and business processes. PLANET
is the European coordinating organisation for research and development in the
field of AI Planning and Scheduling. It aims to stimulate innovative research
and development and to promote the industrial uptake of the technology. PLANET
supports activities that foster progress in research and development. It
promotes the exchange and collaboration between academic and industrial sites
through training and technology transfer activities. It maintains a supporting
information and communication infrastructure and represents a comprehensive
source of technological expertise.
Description of research: Development of a web repository on AI Planning and Scheduling.
Project funded by: Information Society Technologies (Fifth Framework), European Union.
