Modelling and transposition of location-based games
Entertainment Computing, 2019Abstract Design and development of Location-Based Games (LBG) are not trivial tasks due to their pervasive nature, multidisciplinary requirements, and global deployment issues. This paper presents a model-based approach to describe and generate LBGs. Our approach separates location data, game mechanics, and media content from the game implementation.

Cloaking games in location based services
Proceedings of the 2008 ACM workshop on Secure web services, 2008A prototypical case of data anonymization is location anonymization: here the most common data anonymization technique - k -anonymity - corresponds to cloaking and consists in providing to the potential attacker a large granularity view of the user location. However the anonymizer should take into account that if the landscape is not neutral - so that

Coping with uncertainty in a location-based game
IEEE Pervasive Computing, 2003With location-based games, how you manage uncertainty can make the difference between fun and fiasco. Game designers should know what uncertainties to hide and what to reveal to create an engaging experience. This article describes our experiences, focusing on uncertainty, in publicly deploying an experimental, mobile mixed-reality game called Can You ...
