Self- organisation is an important concept that intersperses a broad range of real-world domains-from economy over ecology, the built infrastructure, distributed technologies to the life sciences. Yet, self-organisation is often hard to recognise and especially hard to control. Computer games can amend this problem by training players to cope with self-organising systems interactively. Here, they can continuously interact with self-organising systems, explore them without jeopardy and gain foundational insights in their dynamics. We present several examples of commercial titles that integrate aspects of self-organisation as well as several academically motivated games that explicitly build on top of it. We further propose a taxonomy on the use of self- organisation in gaming contexts and we conclude with an outlook on potential future works in this direction.","PeriodicalId":239485,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114476380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the fact that serious games can be entertaining, the primary purpose behind a serious game, among other things, is to educate the user. In this paper, we report on the design, implementation and evaluation of a serious game for learning traffic laws. In Egypt, road accidents are a major cause of casualties and injury. Rules on Wheels is a game developed to enhance the traffic law knowledge of its players through a fun and engaging experience. A formal experiment has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the game in teaching traffic signs. Results show that the game outperforms conventional methods, in both effectiveness and engagement. Thus, Rules on Wheels can successfully improve the traffic law knowledge of the general population. Moreover, since it is an engaging game, it could be the motivational factor needed for Egyptians to learn about traffic laws.","PeriodicalId":239485,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121842031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a serious game simulating a swarm of 50-250 ant-like agents is presented which have to collect resources and fight enemies. Digital pheromones (virtual chemical signals that diffuse over time) are used for their indirect communication. A mouse-based human-swarm interface is presented which allows players to interact with its agents by placing pheromones by clicking on the map. Wrapping the interface into a game allowed to develop and test it without requiring actual swarm hardware, to engage and motivate the user as well as to provide objective usability measures (e.g. awarding points for collected resources). The goal of the game is to convey the functioning of pheromone based swarms (e.g. temporal and spatial emergence) and to train players in using the human-swarm interface efficiently. Being a complex topic, the visualisation of the simulation and the GUI have been designed with usability and user experience in mind. A user study has been performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the simulation as well as usability and user experience. The results revealed that the users efficiency increased over time, proving that the presented pheromone based interface can be used to instruct swarms, and its usage can be conveyed by the presented application.","PeriodicalId":239485,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES)","volume":"64 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132736892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, Exergames need to be adaptive and provide accurate feedback for physiologically correct exercising, sustaining motivation and for better personalized experiences. To investigate the role of physiological computing in those aspects, we employed a repeated measures design exploring changes in physiological responses caused by the gaming and exercising components of an Exergame intervention. Seventeen older adults (64.5±6.4 years) interacted with a videogame in two modes (Control, Exergaming) in different difficulty levels. Electrocardiography, Electrodermal and Kinematic data were gathered synchronously with game data. Findings show that Exercise intensities and heart rate changes were largely modulated by game difficulty, and positive feedback was more likely to produce arousal responses during Exergaming than negative feedback. A heart rate- variability analysis revealed strong influences of the interaction mode showing that Exergaming has potential to enhance cardiac regulation. Our results bring new insights on the usefulness of psychophysiological methods to sustain exercising motivation and personalizing gameplay to the individual needs of users in Exergaming experiences.","PeriodicalId":239485,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Games and Virtual Worlds for Serious Applications (VS-GAMES)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127144196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
