serious gaming came back!

The partnership brings together leading IT providers and three of Europe's leading research centres, CERN, EMBL and ESA in order to provide computing capacity and services that elastically meet big science's growing demand for computing power.

Helix Nebula provides an unprecedented opportunity for the global cloud services industry to work closely on the Large Hadron Collider through the large-scale, international ATLAS experiment, as well as with the molecular biology and earth observation. The three flagship use cases will be used to validate the approach and to enable a cost-benefit analysis. Helix Nebula will lead these communities through a two year pilot-phase, during which procurement processes and governance issues for the public/private partnership will be addressed.

This game-changing strategy will boost scientific innovation and bring new discoveries through novel services and products. At the same time, Helix Nebula will ensure valuable scientific data is protected by a secure data layer that is interoperable across all member states. In addition, the pan-European partnership fits in with the Digital Agenda of the European Commission and its strategy for cloud computing on the continent. It will ensure that services comply with Europe's stringent privacy and security regulations and satisfy the many requirements of policy makers, standards bodies, scientific and research communities, industrial suppliers and SMEs.

Initially based on the needs of European big-science, Helix Nebula ultimately paves the way for a Cloud Computing platform that offers a unique resource to governments, businesses and citizens.

"Helix Nebula will lead these communities through a two year pilot-phase, during which procurement processes and governance issues for the public/private partnership will be addressed." And here I was thinking cloud computing was old news 3 years ago :)

A game built to help computers in solving satisfiability problems.  (in case the new version doesn't work, try the original one)

Some new field of game for the ACT?

Very interesting paper!

Monopoly is one of the classic American games. It's played amongst close friends, loved ones, and trusted business partners. It's also one of the few times in life where it's perfectly acceptable to want to systematically annihilate and crush the aforementioned friends, loved ones and partners. We broke down the must-know math behind Monopoly as well as several lessons you can take away from what truly is The Most Dangerous Game.

Awesome!

ridiculously stupid, have they just read BRave New World??

DARPA creates a set of games that covertly search for software vulnerabilities

Tic-tac-toe for scientists... Plus a questions for the mathematicians, how many possible outcomes does this version have?

The game is actually really cool!

this seems like an important improvement: "As many have pointed out, the rules as I've described them are not the best. My gambit is too strong, and can be extended into a guaranteed win for X. So I recommend modifying "Clarifying Rule #1″ to say: If you are sent to a board that's already been won, you may go wherever you like."

........... COMING JULY 6th

Pretty impressive examples of html5. Maybe interesting for the crowdsourcing game?

Some interesting ideas for our crowdsourcing game in here.

Have a nice gaming :-)

stupid calculation

forced to play WOW ...

very nice article - though a bit long but I am sure that you will also enjoy reading it ....

looking a bit back to small world nets bibliography I bumped into that. quote: The probability that a Brazilian soccer player has worked at $N$ clubs or played $M$ games shows an exponential decay while the probability that he has scored $G$ goals is power law. (!)

Perhaps next year!

An interesting idea...
