Creating Story-Based Serious Games Using a Controlled Natural Language Domain Specific Modeling Language (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractCreating serious games calls for a multidisciplinary design team, including game developers, subject-matter experts, pedagogical experts, and narrative designers. However, such multidisciplinary teams often experience communication and collaboration problems due to differences in terminology, background and the concerns of the people involved. As one step towards solving this problem, we developed a modeling language for authors of serious games to specify both the story and the pedagogi [...]Keywords : Serious games, Narrative, Pedagogy, Domain specific modeling language, Modeling, Controlled natural language, Graphical notation, Simulator
Entraves à l'attitude ludique avec un jeu sérieux intégré dans une formation managériale : un exercice plus qu'un jeu ? (Broacasting our studies)
This article explores the boundary between the world of simulation games (referred to as « serious games »), and work. Our interest was in examining a helicopter simulator integrated game used to train 350 managers per year. This qualitative research, based on the theoretical and methodological framework of the psychosociology of work, aims at understanding the perception which professionals, namely managers, have, of the device and its environment, as well as the way they [...]Keywords : game, exercise, serious game, training, playful attitude
Competitive game environment and its application: Case study with focus on tournament entertainment (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract This study explores a novel way for analyzing tournament structures. Our goal is to find the best suitable tournament under considered purposes. Aside from the number of matches, we address on two other important aspects: competitiveness development and ranking precision. Competitiveness development emphasizes the importance participants’ motivation in every match while keeping the matches exciting throughout the tournament. Ranking precision reflects the convincement of tour [...]RDU accompaniment model applyed to serious game : confrontation with the ecosystem of secondary education (Broacasting our studies)
Summary. – This study addresses the issue of the appropriation of the Serious Game as technical object, by offering a model identifying a set of accompaniments to promote such a process. This model, called RDU, presents three main types of accompaniments: Realization, Dissemination and Use. Together, they comprise fifteen types of distinct accompaniments. The purpose of this study, after describing its development, is to experience on the field this RDU model applied to the Serious Games.

A Paradigm for the Development of Serious Games for Health as Benefit Delivery Systems (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract—Serious games are developed with the purpose of bestowing a benefit on the user. That benefit could be related to the user’s health, education, safety or efficiency. We propose that the mechanism that the game employs to achieve such a benefit should be identified as the key to the development of a successful serious game. We introduce a paradigm for the design and development of serious games as benefit delivery systems. We suggest that the paradigm can apply to all applica [...]Keywords : Serious game, Health, Health game, Healthcare

A Multi-Agent Simulation of Serious Games to Predict Their Impact on E-Learning Processes (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract—Serious games constitute actually a recent and attractive way supposed to replace the classical boring courses. However, the choice of the adapted serious game to a specific learning environment remains a challenging task that makes teachers unwilling to adopt this concept. To fill this gap, we present, in this paper, a multi-agent-based simulator allowing to predict the impact of a serious game integration in a learning environment given several game and players characteristics. [...]Keywords : Emotion, Learning process, Multi-agent simulation, Serious games

Realistic Simulation of Cultural Heritage (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractOne of the most challenging problems in the simulation of real environments is to generate worlds that appear realistic and more attractive. It becomes increasingly challenging when the simulated environment focuses on minors (students), because the young generation has high demands on simulation systems due to their experience in computer gaming. Virtual museums are among the most important simulation environments, which present cultural and educational content for everyone. Their purpo [...]Keywords : Cultural Heritage , Serious game
