Games designers hoping they have a hit on their hands

Taken from: https://www.northampton.ac.uk/news/video-games-designers-hoping-they-have-a-hit-on-their-hands/

Fledgling video games designers from the University of Northampton have been creating a buzz in the gaming world after unleashing a playable demo at two national conventions.

Gamers at the UK’s biggest games expo, EGX17, and the north’s biggest, Play Expo Manchester, were full of praise for co-op couch game Mechanic Panic.

Developed by Games Art student, Tom McLennan, and Computer Games Development undergraduates Kieron McNamee and Joseph Higgins, Mechanic Panic is a multi-player title which sees gamers race against time to repair cars.

The team came up with the concept when they were challenged to come up with a game within 48 hours with the theme ‘give and take’ at the Brains Eden games jam over the summer.

While Mechanic Panic is still in the development stage, a playable demo went down a storm with gamers at the recent conventions – and received a great review from the respected website Big Boss Battle.com

Watch a demo version of Mechanic Panic below:

Tom said: “The response from people playing the game at the expos has been incredible.

“We’ve had people shouting and almost fighting as they scramble to get the right parts to fix the car – that sort of response is definitely a good sign!”

Tom, Kieron and Joseph, who come from Podington, Corby and Wilmslow, respectively, will continue to develop the game as they look to attract a publisher.

“One of the main aims is to develop a story mode, to give the game more longevity, and hopefully a publisher will see something they like, sign us up and get the game out to the public next year,” said Tom.

BCS Northampton: Soft Systems Thinking

BCS Northampton Branch

Soft Systems Thinking, Methodology and the Management of Change

BCS Northampton Branch Lecture

Tuesday 31st October at 7pm with 7:30pm start

Room 205, The Newton Building, Avenue Campus, University Of Northampton, Northampton. NN2 6JD

How to support organisational transformation involving the development of;

*  IS development, 

*  Enterprise architecture, 

*  Programme and project management

Kees has spent most of his adult life figuring out how to do things differently. During most of the last two decades he has worked for a wide spectrum of public and private customers. After a decade as an officer in the Royal Netherlands Air Force and a period of involvement with decision-making and organisational learning in crises, his engagements have been concerned with making sense of complexity and uncertainty in stakeholder-rich situations. He has been working as a "Strategy and Change" consultant with experience in strategy making, management of change, portfolio and programme management, and enterprise architecting and worked for a wide variety of central and local government departments and services, commercial enterprises and third sector organisations.

His work has focused on working with organisation leaders through the use of systems thinking, defining common purpose and desired outcomes, and implementing all means required to achieve these. In addition, his work has concentrated on exploring how to improve business performance and the introduction of innovative and collaborative working practices and technologies. He co-founded the consultancy Koios Group in 2004, which he led till 2012, after which he worked for Atkins, Jacobs and PA Consulting before re-embarking this year on growing VH2 ltd.

He has published a number of papers and book contributions. He has been a visiting lecturer at the University of Southampton, Cranfield University, Cardiff University, Aston University, Hull University, Loughborough University and a Visiting Fellow at the University of Warwick. He has accepted to take up a new parttime role involving the Executive MBA programme.

Kees is a Systems Thinker, passionate about transformations and his urge to "think differently" about complex organisational challenges. He has developed a strong disliking for approaches that are too concerned with "how", whilst ignoring "why" and "what". In this presentation, Kees will introduce some key underpinning concepts and case studies published in his recent book, which he co-authored with Prof Brian Wilson, one of the original founders of Soft Systems Methodology. He will present "Soft Systems Thinking, Methodology and the Management of Change" and explain the features, advantages and benefits of their Soft Systems Methodology-centred approach using a selection of case studies involving organisations and their information, information systems and technology, and enterprise architectures.

Doors will open at 19:00 hrs, The Presentation will commence at 19.30hrs.

All our events are open to members and none members, no registration is required unless otherwise stated.

Update on Bibliographic Analysis of Computing

Update on an earlier post: Mini Project: Bibliographic Analysis of Computing

I have been curious about tools for analysing social connections for a while.

In this post I am looking at a couple of ways to analyse bibliographic relationships. Starting with the simplest, Word Clouds but then  at an interesting tool VosViewer discussed previously. All the data is taken from the University of Northampton's Research Repository - Nectar - for members of the academic Computing team.  

Word Clouds

The image above is based on data for all the listed publications for the computing team since 2011. It includes the authors, title, conference, etc; but no abstract. It takes quite a bit of editing and really all that is being shown is the Authors name for the most published authors and a few key terms. Provides a nice snap shot but is difficult to interpret.




Co-author Analysis

Here is the same data but processed using software that is only looking at the authors and showing how many times a particular pair have published together. Some interconnections between authors can be seen. There are now connections between all the main authors (members of the computing team).

Co-authoring publications with MSc students is leading to greater opportunities to join research together.

Text Analysis

This is the same tool as above, but this time looking at the text within the title and abstracts. All words in the title and abstract of the papers; but using binary counting (so a term is only counted once per publication) and allowing only the terms with 60% highest relevance through; you can get a graph like the one below. Personally, I find the graph beautiful, gives a sense of a lot going on.

Some interesting subject area coming out; for example wireless networking and machine-to-machine communicaton; alongside pedagogic, cultural research and sensors for animals.

Let us apply this last approach to some individual cases

Case Study 1: Mid-Research Career Academic

Case Study 2: Mid-Research Career Academic 2

In both Case Study 1 and 2, there are several groupings. Case study 1 the subjects in the groupings are more diverse than in case study 2, which has greater specialisation.

Case Study 3: Early Career Researcher
Greater separation in the groups (though three groups are related in terms of subject) than in the first two case studies. This is in part may be due to the smaller number of papers compared to the first two case studies (between four to eight times fewer).

Case Study 4: PhD by Publication Candidate

There is a stronger inter-relationships between the groups, than has been in some of the other case studies. This, I would argue, is a positive feature for someone pursuing a PhD by publication; suggesting a coherent 'story' to their publications.


Plotting the citations to one author's papers
Using GEPHI (https://gephi.org/) a free Open Graph visialisation tool and ciaition data from Google Scholar plots and interconnections can be visualised. 

The approach taken here was to take an individual paper (the larger blobs) and make a connection to all the papers that cited it (the smaller blobs where the papers not produced the author). Groups can start to be seen, that can be investigated further.
