Quantifying User Satisfaction in Mobile Cloud GamesAcademia Sinica
We conduct real experiments to quantify user satisfaction in mobile cloud games using a real cloud gaming system built on the open-sourced GamingAnywhere. We share our experiences in porting GamingAnywhere client to Android OS and perform extensive experiments on both the mobile and desktop clients. The experiment results reveal several new insights: (1) gamers are more satisfied with the graphics quality on mobile devices, while they are more satisfied with the control quality on desktops, (2) the bitrate, frame rate, and network delay significantly affect the graphics and smoothness quality, and (3) the control quality only depends on the client type (mobile versus desktop). To the best of our knowledge, such user studies have never been done in the literature.

Techniques for offloading processing load from your servers
A CDN utilizes a global network of servers to streamline the delivery of downloads, by caching content nearest to your visitor. Doing so helps not only improve performance but also reduces the risk of failures and server crashes by offloading bandwidth from the origin.
Cloud gaming, sometimes called gaming on demand, is a type of online gaming. Currently there are two main types of cloud gaming: cloud gaming based on video streaming and cloud gaming based on file streaming. Cloud gaming aims to provide end users frictionless and direct play-ability of games across various devices.
Gaming on demand is a game service which takes advantage of a broadband connection, large server clusters, encryption and compression to stream game content to a subscriber's device. Users can play games without downloading or installing the actual game. Game content is not stored on the user's hard drive and game code execution occurs primarily at the server cluster, so the subscriber can use a less powerful computer to play the game than the game would normally require, since the server does all performance-intensive operations usually done by the end user's computer.

Mobile cloud game in high performance computing environmentTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Mobile cloud game is a solution to play high-end games in indigent thin clients with a diversity of end-user devices, and as real-time gaming, mobile cloud game hosting game engines in the cloud. Moreover, frequent change in network quality is another issue that should be limited to run the real fast cloud game. Thus, reliable software components between cloud and user devices as clients, including using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms such as machine learning, deep learning and so on will enhance the game performance, particularly in multiplayer and real-time conditions. In this paper, we list the mobile cloud game architecture in the high-performance computing (HPC) environment, where a load of the game will be distributed between servers as cloud and clients. The server node as clouds or clients will consist of more than one server with many processors (cores) or sometimes can be recognized as distributed computing. Using HPC for cloud games will boost the game performance where the execution times will be dispersed not only in some node in servers and clients but in many cores of each server or client. The involvement of the internet of things (IoT) and ubiquitous access from heterogeneous devices will give benefit to enjoyment in the game itself.
SuperStreamer: Enabling Progressive Content Streaming in a Game EngineAnand Bhojan
This technical demonstration presents the SuperStreamer project, which enables progressive game assets streaming to players while games are played, reducing the startup time required to download and start playing a cloud-based game.
SuperStreamer modifies a popular game engine, Unreal Engine 4, to support developing and playing games with progressive game asset streaming. With SuperStreamer, developers can mark the minimal set of files, containing only the game content essential to start playing the game. When a player plays the game, these minimal set of files will be downloaded to the player's device. SuperStreamer also generates low resolution textures automatically when a developer publishes a game, and these low resolution textures are transmitted first into the game client. As players move through a game level, high quality textures required for the game will be downloaded. In our demo game, we are able to decrease the time taken to startup and load the first game level by around 30%.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Game as a Service (GaaS) : Anytime, Anywhere!
1.
2. INSTRUCTIONS :
Gaming on cloud, also called gaming on demand, is a
type of online gaming that allows on-demand
streaming of games onto a computer, in which the
actual game is stored on the game company’s server
and is streamed directly to computers accessing the
server through the client
4. Increased Availability and
Accessibility:
As a result of its flexibility and scalability in
the area of storage capacity cloud
computing, allows gaming companies to
make available to their customers series of
content that are available as soon as they
log in into their accounts. This indicates
that game players do not have to bother
about how they could save their games.
The unique opportunity of getting games to
play anytime has reportedly increased
game players’ satisfaction.
1
5. No Need for Expensive
Hardware Investments
and Upgrades :
With cloud gaming, you don’t have to
upgrade your PC or console. Instead of
buying an expensive gaming hardware, you
have to just use your existing hardware
2
6. Multiple Game Content:
Unlike before when a console only allow
players the opportunity of playing a single
game at a time, cloud computing creates
the avenues for accessing and playing
multiple games at a time. This practice
does not only help game companies to rake
in more revenues, it also adds values to the
experience of playing games.
3
7. DRM :
If games ran on remote servers instead of
your own computer, they’d be almost
impossible to copy. This makes cloud
gaming an attractive form of DRM to
publishers.
4
9. Video Compression :
The game play “video” we receive from a
cloud-gaming service is compressed. It
won’t be as sharp and high-detail as what
could be rendered by a high-end gaming
PC.
1
10. Bandwidth :
Cloud gaming services require a large
amount of bandwidth. If everyone plays
games using cloud services, bandwidth
usage would go up dramatically.
2
11. Latency :
Games can react to player’s actions much
more quickly when they’re running on
player’s local computer. Cloud-gaming
services will always have more latency than
powerful local hardware.
3
13. ◦ Cloud technology provides a
platform for innovation and new
business expansion as major
game-makers like Microsoft,
Nintendo and Sony are gradually
migrating their game content to
the cloud.
◦ The main advantage of this is that
game players can speedily access
the games using any digital-
enabled devices. They can play as
many games as possible in real-
time.
14. ◦ The recent development in cloud
computing security will help
protect player’s identities so that
they will not be subjected to
identity theft.
15. “
So folks go and play
unlimited games
anytime anywhere !
