Social learning in MMOG: an activity theoretical perspective
Interactive Technology and Smart Education, 2008PurposeRecently, researchers have begun investigating the learning process that occurs within computer games (learning to play), as opposed to studying games that support explicit learning for educational purposes (playing to learn). With the increasing popularity of massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs), some research has begun to look beyond ...

Interest management and scalability issues in P2P MMOG
CCNC 2006. 2006 3rd IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference, 2006., 2006MMOG are very large distributed applications, sharing very large states, and supporting communication between potentially thousands of player nodes. Despite the development of many solutions to define suitable architecture, communication protocol and enabling efficient deployment of these types of applications, many issues remains which still require a

Dynamic load management for MMOGs in distributed environments
Proceedings of the 7th ACM international conference on Computing frontiers, 2010To support thousands of concurrent players in virtual worlds simulated by contemporary Massively Multiplayer Online Games, most implementations employ static game world partitioning for distributing the load among multiple game server instances. Further, the resources that manage the resulting subregions are statically allocated, independent of the ...

A Dynamic Hierarchical Map Partitioning for MMOG
2006Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) are characterized by the interaction between a virtual world and an ever-changing worldwide stream of players. Most of them require virtual worlds, significant hardware requirements (e.g., servers and bandwidth), and dedicated support staff.

DACA: Dynamic Anti-Cheating Architecture for MMOGs
2009 International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications, 2009Due to the popularization of Internet, online games become one of the most popular entertainments for teenagers. According to the estimates DFC Intelligence, the output values of global online games reach 9,800 million dollars in 2009. Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) is the most profitable one. This paper studies the MMOG system.

A peer auditing scheme for cheat elimination in MMOGs
Proceedings of the 7th ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Network and System Support for Games, 2008Although much of the research into massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) focuses on scalability concerns, other issues such as the existence of cheating have an equally large practical impact on game success. Cheat prevention itself is usually addressed through the use of proprietary, ad-hoc or manual methods, combined with a strong centralized ...

A hybrid P2P communications architecture for zonal MMOGs
Multimedia Tools and Applications, 2009Distributed Virtual Environments are becoming more popular in today's computing and communications among people. Perhaps the most widely used form of such environments is Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG), which are in the form of client/server architecture that requires considerable server resources to manage a large number of distributed ...

Applicability of group communication for increased scalability in MMOGs
Proceedings of 5th ACM SIGCOMM workshop on Network and system support for games - NetGames '06, 2006Massive multiplayer online games (MMOGs) are today the driving factor for the development of distributed interactive applications, and they are increasing in size and complexity. Even a small MMOG supports thousands of players, the biggest support hundreds of thousands of concurrent players.

Enhancing Child Safety in MMOGs
2012This paper presents a method for improving child safety in Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs). The focus is to monitor and detect relationships forming with a child in online games, and to alert if the relationship indicates that an offline meeting with the child has been arranged or has the potential to occur.
