Modelling human problem solving with data from an online game

MATHEMATICAL MODELLING FOR DICE FINDER GAME PROBLEM

Play is often episodic and mission-centric, with a series of challenges culminating in a final puzzle or enemy that must be overcome. Multiple missions played with the same characters may be related to each other in a plot arc of escalating challenges. The exact tone, structure, pace and end (if any) vary from game to game depending on the needs and preferences of the players, as in [9]. "THE C...

A Problem Solving Environment for interactive modelling of multiway data

A prototype Problem Solving Environment (PSE) is presented for problems in interactive modelling of multiway data. Multiway data result from measurements as a function of two or more independent variables. The PSE comprises a parameter estimation loop and a model adjustment loop. The model can be specified hierarchically using mathematically described building blocks which encapsulate the model...

Modelling and Solving the Capacitated Location-Routing Problem with Simultaneous Pickup and Delivery Demands

In this work, the capacitated location-routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (CLRP-SPD) is considered. This problem is a more realistic case of the capacitated location-routing problem (CLRP) and belongs to the reverse logistics of the supply chain. The problem has many real-life applications of which some have been addressed in the literature such as management of liquid petrol...

Exploring Problem-Solving Behavior in an Optics Game

Understanding player behavior in complex problem solving tasks is important for both assessing learning and for the design of content. Previous research has modeled studenttutor interactions as a complex network; researchers were able to use these networks to provide visualizations and automatically generated feedback. We collected data from 195 high school students playing an optics puzzle gam...
