“…Naturally, the framework and its implementation may be extended to include a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) that will support an IoT topology on the ground with live aerial imaging in the sky [37][38][39][40] for the holistic management of a smart farm. Such a holistic management approach to smart farming adopts systems thinking to managing resources and provides a support framework for adapting to, and balancing, the four basic ecosystem processes whose successful management is crucial for sustaining a heathy farm: the water cycle, the mineral cycle which naturally includes the carbon cycle, the energy flow, and the community dynamics, i.e., the relationship between all organisms that are integral for the health of any farm ecosystem.…”

“…Player Profiles store the player models which contain a player's in-play status as illustrated in Table 3. The profile is modelled using the XML-based standard MPEG-7 (ISO/IEC 2002, 2003, 2005 as it facilitates a detailed, structured representation within multimedia systems such as digital games (Agius and Angelides 2004;Angelides and Agius 2006) and also provides facilities that support distributed player profiling. Score is calculated through the Scoring service which, using the recorded player gameplay, determines and feeds the player's score back into the game.…”

Reflective agents for personalisation in collaborative games

The collaborative aspect of games has been shown to potentially increase player performance and engagement over time. However, collaborating players need to perform well for the team as a whole to benefit and thus teams often end up performing no better than a strong player would have performed individually. Personalisation offers a means for improving overall performance and engagement, but in collaborative games, personalisation is seldom implemented, and when it is, it is overwhelmingly passive such that the player is not guided to goal states and the effectiveness of the personalisation is not evaluated and adapted accordingly. In this paper, we propose and apply the use of reflective agents to personalisation ('reflective personalisation') in collaborative gaming for individual players within collaborative teams via a combination of individual player and team profiling in order to improve player and thus team performance and engagement. The reflective agents self-evaluate, dynamically adapting their personalisation techniques to most effectively guide players towards specific goal states, match players and form teams. We incorporate this agent-based approach within a microservices architecture, which itself is a set of collaborating services, to facilitate a scalable and portable approach that enables both player and team profiles to persist across multiple games. An experiment involving 90 players over a two-month period was used to comparatively assess three versions of a collaborative game that implemented reflective, guided, and passive personalisation for individual players within teams. Our results suggest that the proposed reflective personalisation approach improves team player performance and engagement within collaborative games over guided or passive personalisation approaches, but that it is especially effective for improving engagement.

Closing the content-user gap in MPEG-7: the hanging basket model

MPEG-7 is the leading standard for multimedia metadata creation, providing a vast array of description tools. Nevertheless, there exists a disparity between the content models and user models that may be created by the standard: metadata for content models is wide ranging and structured, but metadata for user models only support the specification of an extremely limited range of preferences where content metadata cannot be fully exploited. This results in a very incomplete mapping of user models to content models which we term the MPEG-7 content-user gap. We present a hanging basket model that closes the content-user gap by considering user models to be isomorphic to content models and thus enabling both models to be represented through MPEG-7 content description tools, specifically those concerned with events, objects and properties.
