“…The framework in [8] monitors the end-to-end network status and alters the video encoding parameters for cloud games accordingly. This work considers dynamic video encoding adaptation focusing on improving the user-perceived quality of a Gamingon-Demand service, which is a highly demanding interactive multimedia application based on a client-server infrastructure and video streaming.…”

Conventional cloud gaming benefits from many aspects by executing the game engine in the cloud and streaming the gaming videos to players' terminals through network. However, this type of cloud gaming service can not guarantee stable Quality of Service (QoS) in mobile scenarios, subject to the diversity of end-user devices and frequent changes in network quality. To address this issue, a component-based cloud gaming platform for mobile devices has been proposed, where the decomposed game can be partially offloaded to the cloud, achieving load balancing between cloud and terminals. In this work, we implemented the very first experimental test-bed for component-based mobile cloud gaming. Three game prototypes are built on our test-bed, in order to demonstrate its feasibility and efficiency. Experiments have been conducted to show that intelligent partitioning leads to better system performance, such as lower response latency and higher frame rate.

“…For the system to be adaptable to network parameters variations (primary bandwidth and latency), optimization mechanisms and adaptive video streaming are required. The basic principle in such optimizations is that interactivity is the most important component of video games and that video quality is secondary, within certain limits of course, as well as that video encoding parameters can be adapted to enable adaptive video streaming [55]. The optimization of video streaming based on the network latency is presented in [56] and a special package distribution scheme for the transmission of cloud video streams is presented in [34].…”

The use of digital games in education has been the subject of research for many years and their usefulness has been confirmed by many studies and research projects. Standardized tests, such as PISA test, show that respondents achieved better reading, math and physics results if they used the computer more for gaming-related activities. It has been proven that the application of video games in education increases student motivation, improves several types of key skillssocial and intellectual skills, reflexes and concentration. Nevertheless, there are several challenges associated with the application of video games in schools and they can be categorized as technical (network and end device limitations), competency (teachers' knowledge in the area), qualitative (lack of educational games of high quality), and financial (high cost of purchasing games and equipment). The novel architecture for delivery of gaming content commonly referred to as "cloud gaming" has the potential to solve most of the present challenges of using games in education. A well-designed cloud gaming platform would enable seamless and simple usage for both students and teachers. While solving most of the present problems, cloud gaming introduces a set of new research challenges which will be discussed in this section.
