Le domaine de la synthèse réactive a pour objectif d'obtenir un système correct par construction à partir d'une spécification logique.Une approche classique consiste à se ramener à un jeu à somme nulle,où deux joueurs interagissent tour-à-tour dans un système de transitions, et à se demander si le joueur "contrôleur" peut garantir que son objectif sera rempli, et ce indépendamment des décisions du joueur "environnement".Nous étudions des spécifications temps-réel, modélisées par un automate temporisé équipé d'un objectif d'accessibilité ou de Büchi, et présentons des méthodes symboliques pour

Over the last decade, buying in-game content with real money has become a more common practice among players in order to unlock exclusive content in video games. Prior research has mainly focused on those functional digital items that provide an advantage to the buyer. This thesis aims to determine the underlying factors that influence video game players to purchase purely aesthetic virtual items.Prior studies on the field of video games, gaming business models and purchasing behaviour were reviewed and a theoretical framework focused on behavioural sciences, psychology and customer culture re

This diploma thesis analyses the construction of the Near-Eastern conflict, it's actors and the problematic of the "Self -- Others" relationship in digital games. This Near-Eastern conflict can be viewed as a constructed, thought object or representation with blurred space-time boudnaries, which is not necessarily identical with "material reality". Despite it not being identical, the constructed object does nevertheless contribute to the creation of identities of the material reality's participants, and as such influences their behaviour and the behaviour towards them.

Abstract:

While in traditional computer game playing agents were designed solely for the purpose of playing one single game, General Game Playing is concerned with agents capable of playing classes of games. Given the game's rules and a few minutes time, the agent is supposed to play any game of the class and eventually win it. Since the game is unknown beforehand, previously optimized data structures or human-provided features are not applicable. Instead, the agent must derive a strategy on its own. One approach to obtain such a strategy is to analyze the game rules and create a state evaluation funct

Most researchers have relied on previous media violence research, assuming similarities between television viewing and video game playing. However, video games are inter

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 82-86).<br>This dissertation explores the construction of the subject via a relationship of power in two poem sequences, 'The circle game' and 'Two-headed poems', by Margaret Atwood. I argue that Atwood proposes a subject similar to the kind of subject found in psychoanalysis. Like the psychoanalytic subject, Atwood's subject is formed in relation to its other. This relation is essentially a power relation and can become unbalanced, forcing one of the two parties into a subjugated position. Atwood not only exposes these skewed relations of power, but

Negation is a part of language that humans engage in pretty much from the onset of speech.

The earliest forms of negation appear to be linked to the affective or motivational state of the speaker. Therefore we developed a behavioural architecture which contains a motivational system.

Die Entwicklungsschübe der modernen Medien im 20. Jahrhundert haben die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen den Künsten, den Medien, den Sinnesmodalitäten, den verbalen und nonverbalen Ausdrucks- und Zeichenprozessen verstärkt und erweitert. Im Zuge dieser Entwicklungen sind Genre- und Formatfragen über das disziplinäre Interesse einzelner Kunst- und Medienwissenschaften hinaus ins Aufmerksamkeitsfeld einer vergleichenden Medienästhetik und -dramaturgie ge-rückt. Aufbauend auf den Erkenntnissen von Kalisch 2014, 2016 und den Überlegungen Gaudreaults 2009 zu einer Unterscheidung zwischen Narration und

Abstract:

Dans la deuxième moitié du 20è siècle, des travaux entrepris dans le champ de la sociologie du curriculum par des chercheurs anglo-saxons puis européens ont permis d’interroger la légitimité des savoirs curriculaires, en particulier leur caractère socialement construit. Certaines études ont alors fait émerger qu’il existait des variations de contenus d’enseignement en fonction de la composition sociale du public scolaire. Autrement dit, ces recherches ont appréhendé les effets inégalitaires des sélections curriculaires en mettant en évidence une hiérarchisation des savoirs par une hiérarchisat

Abstract:

M.Sc. (Mathematics)<br>This dissertation describes the solution toa specific logical problem, the satisfiability problem, in a logic of games called Alternating-time Temporal Logic (ATL). Computation Tree Logic (CTL) is a discrete branching-time temporal logic for reasoning about labelled transition systems. ATL extends CTL to describe gametheoretic situations, where multiple agents together determine the evolution of the system. In particular, ATL explicitly provides for describing the abilities of coalitions of agents in such systems. Weprovide an automata-based decision procedure for ATL by

Abstract:

The host of a game presents two indistinguishable envelopes to an agent. One of the envelopes is randomly selected and allocated to the agent. The agent is informed that the monetary content of one of the envelopes is twice that of the other. The dilemma is under which conditions it would be beneficial to switch the allocated envelope for the complementary one. The objective of his or her envelope-switching strategy is to determine the benefit of switch- ing the allocated envelope and its content for the expected content of the complementary envelope. The agent, upon revealing the conte

Abstract:

In the recent decades, alternative notions regarding the role of symbols in intelligence in natural and artificial systems have attracted significant inter- est. The main difference of the so-called situated and embodied approaches to cognitive science from the traditional cognitivist position is that symbolic repre- sentations are viewed as resources, similar to maps used for navigation or plans for activity, instead of as transparent stand-ins in internal world models. Thus, all symbolic resources have to be interpreted and re-contextualized for use in concrete situations. In this view, one

Through the symbol, one does something that can’t be done in real life. The choice of this symbol also inflects a person from the inside.
