Traditionally games have focused on physical movement - running, jumping, shooting - in fantasy or science fiction environments. In contrast, Fa\u00e7ade focuses on social interaction with human characters. Games are the cinema of the 21st century, and are capable of commenting on the full range of human experience. But fundamental artificial intelligence and design research are necessary to enable games to move beyond action\/adventure scenarios. Fa\u00e7ade takes a big step in this direction.\u201d Fa\u00e7ade is shaped as a visit to a quarreling couple, where the player finds herself involved in the breakdown of their marriage. Whether and how their marriage ends, and how they feel about you, depends on how you interact with them. Advance artificial intelligence techniques are used to control the autonomous characters, to manage the dynamic plot arc, and to understand the player\u2019s natural language conversation with the characters.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp align=\u0022left\u0022\u003EFa\u00e7ade is available for free download, currently only for PCs, but with a Mac port coming soon.

Within the EGL, Mateas continues to develop advanced AI for interactive entertainment, including AI techniques for interactive story, advanced autonomous characters, and for games which dynamically change and morph depending on how the player plays them. Besides entertainment applications, such technologies have huge implications for future education and training simulations. \u0022Imagine historical simulations where you can talk to famous people from the past, organizational simulations for management training that include office politics and face-to-face people skills, healthcare simulations that allow doctors to practice bedside manner.

This year, CHI 2006 offered the very best opportunity for everyone who uses computers to interact, inform and inspire one another. One of the most compelling features of this year\u2019s conference was the panel discussion on \u201cManaging Deviant Behavior in Online Communities\u201d.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ECollege of Computing Associate Professor Amy Bruckman served as moderator and one of the panelist focused on the unavoidable fact that, as in the \u201creal world,\u201d there are people online who want to hurt kids. She explored how much risk is acceptable for children of different ages and other issues pertaining to online environments for children. Bruckman founded both MediaMOO (a text-based virtual reality environment or \u0022MUD\u0022 designed to be a professional community for media researchers) and MOOSE Crossing (a MUD designed to be a constructionist learning environment for kids).\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe fact is, wherever groups of people gather, whether on the\u00a0Internet or elsewhere in society, norms for appropriate behavior come into play.\u00a0Unfortunately, not everyone plays by the same rules. What may be an exercise of free speech to one group or individual could be disruptive or hurtful to another. For groups that communicate online, a range of technical and social mechanisms are available to help create a climate that will facilitate the understanding of their mission. For example, the \u201crisk tolerant vs. risk averse\u201d trade-off is where in some environments it may be acceptable to allow a degree of inappropriate behavior and simply respond when users report it, while in others, particularly those that cater to children,\u00a0inappropriate behavior must not be tolerated at all. Another trade-off is \u201cprevention vs. management\u201d in which strategies for preventing problems or reducing their frequency may be as important as methods of dealing with them once they occur.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EEmphasizing audience participation, Bruckman and the panel presented scenarios based on real-life online behavior problems and asked the audience for their input on how to handle the situations. They discussed how designers of online communication systems decide what kind of conduct is acceptable, and how they help ensure that standard is met. Finally, Bruckman and the panel explored the means by which these expectations are communicated to members of the online community as well as the implications of corporate control of content for ideals of free expression.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe panel Bruckman moderated and participated in was composed of experts from media theory, computer-supported collaborative learning, computer-supported cooperative work and online entertainment to explore current issues in this complex research area. In addition to providing a forum for the latest work by researchers and practitioners in HCI, the many plenary and social events at CHI 2006 presented opportunities to network with members of the HCI community and other interested parties who coalesce with the industry. Not only did the conference offer a broad perspective on the complete human-computer interaction landscape, it also assisted its attendees in bringing new ideas back to their own work and community.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor information about Amy Bruckman\u0027s research,\u003Cstrong\u003E \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www-static.cc.gatech.edu\/elc\/research.html\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Eclick here\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information about ACM SIGCHI,\u003Cstrong\u003E \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.sigchi.org\/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Eclick here\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe College of Computing Associate Professor moderated a compelling panel exploring the risks and other issues pertaining to online environments for children.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27154","created_gmt":"2010-02-09 21:46:59","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:05:16","author":"Louise Russo","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2006-05-24T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2006-05-24T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"51780":{"#nid":"51780","#data":{"type":"news","title":"Research to Stem Spammers Accepted by Top Conference","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EATLANTA (May 4, 2006)--\u003C\/strong\u003EResearch by Nick Feamster, College of Computing Assistant Professor within the Computing Sciences and Systems (CSS) division, and Ph.D. student Anirudh Ramachandran was recently accepted to ACM\u0027s SIGCOMM 2006.

Bader and Prasanna\u0027s Design Optimizer for Scientific Applications (DOSA) framework allows the programmer or compiler writer to explore alternative designs and optimize for speed (or power) at design-time, using its run-time optimizer as an automatic application composition system (ACS). The ACS constructs an efficient application that dynamically adapts to changes in the underlying execution environment based on the kernel model, architecture, system features, available\u00a0resources, and performance feedback. The application studies are chosen by NSF for their broad impact to traditional and emerging scientific areas such as bioinformatics, computational biology, and medical applications, as well as for national security.

The innovative performance optimization techniques for the memory hierarchy use new techniques for reducing I\/O complexity, data layout, data remapping, and in-memory processing, while being supported by DOSA--the semi-automatic design framework and dynamic run-time system. DOSA allows rapid, high-level performance estimation and detailed low-level simulation by incorporating high-level performance models into the model-integrated computing framework.

Now Microsoft Corp. is bringing this art to the masses with a revolutionary new set of tools, called XNA Game Studio Express, based on the XNA\u2122 platform. XNA Game Studio Express will democratize game development by delivering the necessary tools to hobbyists, students, indie developers and studios alike to help them bring their creative game ideas to life while nurturing game development talent, collaboration and sharing that will benefit the entire industry.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDuring his keynote presentation today at Gamefest 2006, a Microsoft\u00ae game developer event hosted by Microsoft in Seattle, Chris Satchell, general manager of the Game Developer Group at Microsoft, announced details of the new technology, which will be broadly available this holiday season. XNA Game Studio Express will be available for free to anyone with a Windows\u00ae XP-based PC and will provide them with Microsoft\u2019s next-generation platform for game development. By joining a \u201ccreators club\u201d for an annual subscription fee of $99 (U.S.), users will be able to build, test and share their games on Xbox 360\u2122 and access a wealth of materials to help speed the game development progress. This represents the first significant opportunity for novice developers to make a console game without a significant investment in resources.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDuring his keynote, Satchell talked about academic institutions that are lining up to include XNA Game Studio Express in their course offerings. Also showcased was the work of key XNA supporters Autodesk Inc. and GarageGames. Through the Microsoft XNA relationship with Autodesk, the leading provider of 3-D authoring software, game developers and enthusiasts can now more easily incorporate content into XNA Game Studio Express via Autodesk\u2019s FBX file exchange format. Joining Satchell on stage was Mark Frohnmayer, president of GarageGames, who showcased ports of its next-generation Torque tools and technology over to the XNA Game Studio Express platform.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EXNA Game Studio Express Opens Up Game Creation to the World\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003EBy providing an integrated, seamless development environment based on Visual Studio\u00ae Express and .NET that simplifies the integration and use of game content, XNA Game Studio Express makes game development easier to accomplish for smaller projects, strongly increasing the chance for great game ideas to make it out of the concept stage and into the hands of gamers everywhere.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe XNA Game Studio Express beta will be available Aug. 30, 2006, as a free download on Windows XP, for development on the Windows XP platform. XNA Game Studio Express will give anyone with a Windows XP-based PC access to a unified development tool that liberates the creation of great Xbox 360 and Windows XP-compatible games, providing a new alternative to the existing multithousand-dollar development kits that many console games require.
