Dynamic Game Balancing (DGB) is the process of real-time adjustment of game parameters so that the faced challenges fit the player’s ability, therefore keeping him/her in the flow. This way the player will not be bored (if the game is too…
Dynamic spectrum sharing is regarded as an emerging technique for next generation wireless systems, where unlicensed secondary users opportunistically access RF channels, which are not licensed to them but to primary users. Furthermore, dynamic spectrum sharing requires that the unlicensed…
In the previous part we mainly dealt with visibility models and static saliency models of attention. But the notion of computational attention could not remain only focused on static images and it developed in other modalities. Video saliency Some still…
Smart grid system assists in transforming the traditional energy industry in terms of reliability, performance, and manageability through bi-directional information transfer between smart grid components. According to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conceptual model for smart grid, communication…
Numediart Institute, Faculty of Engineering (FPMs), University of Mons (UMONS) Matei Mancas, 31 Bd. Dolez, 7000 Mons, Belgium Idea and approaches. As we already saw, attention is a topic which was taken into account by philosophy first, it was than…
With the massification of smartphones and improvements in the location-awareness of these devices, digital games are moving out from within the digital device to the surrounding environment. Games like Geocatching and Ingress engage millions of players around the world by providing challenges…
STEM is an acronym used to represent the educational areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics and it is typically used when addressing education policy and practice. The term was initially coined in relation to the widespread difficulty that secondary…
In cognitive radio networks, unlicensed secondary users are expected to sense RF spectrum to find idle bands and access those idle bands without creating any harmful interference to licensed primary users. However, spectrum sensing for secondary users in diverse/heterogeneous frequency…
There are a lot of ways to measure attention. Some, mainly in psychology, are more qualitative and use questionnaires and their interpretation. Some are quantitative but they focus on the participants feedback (button press, click, etc…) when they see/hear/sense a…
Serious games for health are games that have a “serious” purpose pertaining to healthcare. They are aimed at improving the physical, mental and well-being of individuals. Serious health games were embraced early by medicine. Some of their applications in healthcare…
