Face To Face Communications In Multiplayer Online Games: A Real-Time System, Ce Zhan, Wanqing Li, Farzad Safaei, Philip Ogunbona

Associate Professor Wanqing Li

Multiplayer online games (MOG) bring HCI into a new era of human-human interactions in computer world. Although current MOG provide more interactivity and social interaction in the virtual world, natural facial expression as a key factor in emulating face to face communications has been neglected by game designers. In this work, we propose a real-time automatic system to recognize players’ facial expressions, so that the recognition results can be used to drive the MOG’s “facial expression engine” instead of “text commands”. Our major contributions are the evaluation, improvement and efficient implementation of existing algorithms to build a real-time system that …

Development Of A Peer-To-Peer Information Sharing System Using Ontologies, Ghassan Beydoun, Graham Low, Numi Tran, Paul Bogg Dec 2012

Development Of A Peer-To-Peer Information Sharing System Using Ontologies, Ghassan Beydoun, Graham Low, Numi Tran, Paul Bogg

Associate Professor Ghassan Beydoun

Most existing agent-oriented methodologies ignore system extensibility, interoperability and reusability issues. Ontologies have been found to play a significant role in facilitating interoperability, reusability, MAS development activities (including MAS analysis and agent knowledge modeling) and MAS run-time operation (including agent communication and reasoning). However, most of the existing AOSE methodologies do not provide support for ontology-based MAS development. We present software engineering requirements for ontology-based development for MAS and examine an existing methodology, MOBMAS - a "Methodology for Ontology-Based MASs", which makes use of ontologies as a modeling tool. In this examination, we highlight how MOBMAS can be extended to …

On The Effect Of Multiple Access Interference In A Space Time Spreading Time Hopping Ppm Uwb System, Peter Vial, Beata Wysocki, Tadeusz Wysocki, Montserrat Ros, David Stirling

Dr Peter Vial

This study investigates the effect of multiple sources using STS across a Time-Hopping-PPM Modulation that is over an UWB Saleh-Valenzuela channel with each source using two transmit antennas. We model and analyze this system, showing that the presence of such MAI results in a significant degradation in BER performance. Simulation results show that for strong signal strength of interfering MAI signals degradation in BER performance is observed for the cases where we have five and 10 distinct MAI sources present when using Walsh-Hadamard thirty two chip spreading sequences. Using simulation, we investigate the use of other sets of orthogonal spreading …
