2. 1. Body Games : Designing for movement-based play in co-located social settings

   Author : Elena Márquez Segura; Barry Brown; Annika Waern; Florian Mueller; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Man-Machine-Interaction MMI ; människa-maskin-interaktion MMI ;

   Abstract : The challenge of designing for games and playful activities has moved past the technical, to focus on how to design for a design space where the threads of the digital technologies and the physical world interweave and entangle creating a hybrid fabric where play can take place. But how can we bridge between the digital and physical world where play is enacted and unravel the tangle of this hybrid fabric? How can we braid the digital and digital threads to spur playful experiences? In this thesis, I focus on a concrete fabric of hybrid play: co–located physical and social play, and propose a framework for design in this scenario: the PLAY BOOST framework. READ MORE

4. 2. Participating in a Story: Exploring Audience Cognition

   Author : Pierre Gander; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; memory; cognition; comprehension; Lingvistik; Psychology; Filosofi; Philosophy; computer games; interactive media; perspective; memory qualities; spatial cognition; fiction; narrative; cognitive science; linguistics; Psykologi; Applied and experimental psychology; Tillämpad och experimentell psykologi;

   Abstract : Stories that the audience can influence (such as computer games and other interactive multimedia), in contrast to 'traditional' stories (such as books and cinema), present a challenge to fields which take narrative (story) as their study object. What is the difference between these two kinds of stories? Earlier theories have focused on differences in media, structure, or the audience's physical actions. READ MORE

7. 5. Mean Field Games for Jump Non-Linear Markov Process

   Author : Rani Basna; Astrid Hilbert; Rainer Buckdahn; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mean-field games; Optimal Control; Non-linear Markov Processes; Mathematics; Matematik;

   Abstract : The mean-field game theory is the study of strategic decision making in very large populations of weakly interacting individuals. Mean-field games have been an active area of research in the last decade due to its increased significance in many scientific fields. READ MORE
