Action-level intention selection for BDI agents (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yao, Y., & Logan, B. (2016). Action-level intention selection for BDI agents. In AAMAS '16: International Conference on Agents and Multiagent Systems (1227–1236). https://doi.org/10.5555/2936924.2937103

Belief-Desire-Intention agents typically pursue multiple goals in parallel. However the interleaving of steps in different intentions may result in conflicts, e.g., where the execution of a step in one plan makes the execution of a step in another co...

Designing brutal multiplayer video games (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Marshall, J., Linehan, C., & Hazzard, A. (2016). Designing brutal multiplayer video games.

Interpersonal touch as a game interaction method (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Marshall, J., Linehan, C., Tennent, P., & Hazzard, A. (2016). Interpersonal touch as a game interaction method.

Interpersonal touch is a key element of social behaviour, yet is largely ignored in HCI. In this paper, we describe two games which explore two extremes of interpersonal touch, and discuss key research questions relating to them.

Human Technology: An Interdisciplinary Journal on Humans in ICT Environments, 12(1), https://doi.org/10.17011/ht/urn.201605192618

It seems logical to argue that mobile computing technologies are intended for use “on-the-go.” However, on closer inspection, the use of mobile technologies pose a number of challenges for users who are mobile, particularly moving around on foot. In... Read More about Ways of walking: understanding walking's implications for the design of handheld technology via a humanistic ethnographic approach.
