...Proceedings of the Fourth Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment Conference Learning to be a Bot: Reinforcement Learning in Shooter Games Michelle McPartland and Marcus Gallagher School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering University of Queensland St Lucia, Australia {michelle,marcusg}@itee.uq.edu.au Abstract This paper demonstrates the applicability of reinforcement learning for first person shooter bot artificial intelligence. Reinforcement learning is a machine learning technique where an agent learns a problem through interaction with the environment. The Sarsa( ) algorithm will be applied to a first person shooter bot controller to learn the tasks of (1) navigation and item collection, and (2) combat. The results will show the validity and diversity of reinforcement learning in a first person shooter environment. Introduction Over the past decade substantial research has been performed on reinforcement learning (RL) for the robotics and multi-agent systems (MAS) fields. In addition, many researchers have successfully used RL to teach a computer how to play classic strategy games such as backgammon (Tesauro 1995) and go (Silver, Sutton, and Muller 2007). However, there has been little research in the application of RL to modern computer games. First person shooter (FPS) games have common features to the fields of robotics and MAS, such as agents equipped to sense and act in their environment, and complex continuous movement...

...A Survey of Checkpointing Strategies for Shared-Memory HPC Applications Ana Gainaru,Aparna Sasidharan,Jorge Mario Cara Carmona University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign April 25, 2012 1 Introduction Fault tolerant protocols have always been a major research topic for the HPC community. Harnessing microprocessors to solve large computational problems has required the use of many microprocessors in a single system. Whereas today the large server machines in the business sector may have as many as 32 processors, large supercomputers can have thousands or tens of thousands of processors in a single machine. While this approach has proven itself to be highly effective in expanding the limits of computational capability, it has also brought to the foreground new challenges that did not arise in smaller systems. Fault tolerance is one such critical challenge.The problem of fault tolerance in modern systems arises from two important HPC trends. First is the rising frequency of faults in systems. Second is the increasing size and running times of applications running on these systems, making them more vulnerable to these faults. HPC systems are vulnerable to faults for three major reasons. First, whereas older machines were built from custommade,high-quality components, modern systems use commodity components that were designed and built for a less reliability-aware market. Second, as modern systems are made from more and more components, the probability of one of them failing...

...1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview A mobile ad hoc network or MANET is a kind of wireless ad hoc network, which is the infrastructure wireless networks where each user directly communicates without an access point or base station. It is a self-configuring network of mobile routers connected by wireless links with no access point. Nature of mobile device in a network is autonomous. Due to these mobile devices are free to move. In other words, the mobile ad hoc network is infrastructure less wireless network. The Communication in MANET is take place by using multi-hop paths. Nodes in the MANET share the wireless medium and the network topology changes dynamically. In MANET, breaking of communication link is very frequent because the nodes are free to move to anywhere. The density of nodes and the number of nodes are depends on the applications in which we are using MANET. Fig-1 Ad-Hoc Network In figure a simple ad-hoc network shown with 3 nodes. Node1 and node 3 are not within range of each other; however the node 2 can be used to forward packets between node 1and nodes 2. The node 2 will act as a router and these three nodes together form an ad-hoc network. 1.2 MANET Characteristics Distributed operation: The control of the network is distributed among the nodes; there is no central background for the control of operations. The nodes should cooperate with each other and communicate among themselves...

...I. ------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2: Context and Background I n this chapter, we introduce the main concepts related to the problem we are addressing, in order to provide the casual reader with the necessary background information for this dissertation. As the title of this thesis is “Analysis of Security and QoS in Network with time constraints”, it is clear that our work requires a deep understanding of three main topics: security, Quality of Service (QoS) and network applications with time constraints. These three fundamental topics will be addressed in this chapter. 2.1. Security In today's business environment, users demand seamless connectivity and stable access to servers and networks wherever they are: hotels, airports, homes, or remote offices. While these functionalities are useful for business, they can only be diffused as such if we can minimize the security risks of transmitting sensitive data across the Internet. 2.2.1. Security Definition (Security Properties) Protecting information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, inspection, recording or destruction in order to provide confidentiality, integrity, and availability is the main goal of information security [NIST 2009]. Security is the ability of a computer system to withstand external physical stresses (fire, flooding, bombs, etc.) or logic (input errors, intrusions, hacking, malicious logic, etc.); this is generally the direction...

...| | | | 1. 안전한 전자정부를 위한 법제도 E-signatures Legislation passed in the U.S., Canada, U.K., E.U., Australia, New Zealand, and most nations around the world establishes the legality of e-signatures. Documents signed online with legally compliant e-signature software are as valid and binding as traditional pen-and-paper documents. E-signatures have been upheld in numerous court cases and, in many situations, prove to be more defensible than pen signatures. This legal strength is due to the robust authentication data captured by online signature software, which provides digital evidence of who signed a document, as well as when, where, and how they did it. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (U.S) The E-SIGN Act, passed by Congress in June, 2000, is the premier federal law ensuring the legality of documents executed with e-signatures in the United States. The E-SIGN Act states that contracts with electronic signatures may not be denied legal effect or ruled unenforceable because they were created digitally. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (U.S.) The National Conference of Commissioners of Uniform State Laws developed the UETA in order to bring consistency to potentially varying state laws regarding e-signatures and online document execution. Now adopted by 47 states thus far, the UETA works in unison with the federal E-SIGN Act to protect the legal enforceability of electronic contracts.

...security of computer systems from various illegitimate attackers. Here, in case of a server in use, a server is used as a honeypot, that portrays the same functionalities of the actual main server. The attacker believes this server to be the actual server and tries attacking the server. Any such unusual behaviour is recognised and the attacker is blocked from accessing the server. Thus, the security of the network and the systems involved in it, are significantly enhanced with the aid of honeypots. Question 2 Solution: Blackholing is caused as a result of dropping packets in a particular network flow as the packets is not reaching the destination host. In this case, the source host sending the packets will not be notified of the action. This action will only come to light when the network is monitored for any lost packets during the transmission. In some cases, the network functionality demands a condition wherein packets destined to reach particular hosts are to be avoided. In such cases, small or large black holes are created. As the name itself suggests, the black holes are not visible in the network. This aids for the security of the network. Question 3 Solution: Air-gap is a security mechanism that helps in securing the overall network. Here in some cases, an organisation’s network needs to be secured from outside access such as Public networks, etc. In order to achieve this, the internal network of the organisation is separated from the outside public network.
