Serious games are beneficial for education in various computer science areas. Numerous works have reported the experiences of using games (not only playing but also development) in teaching and learning. Considering it could be difficult for teachers/students to prepare/develop a game from scratch during one semester, assistant educational materials would be crucial in the corresponding courses. Unfortunately, the literature shows that not many materials from educational game projects are shared. To help different educators identify suitable courseware and help students implement game development, it is worth further investigating and accumulating the educational resources from individual game projects. Following such an idea, this paper proposes a game development project of an object-oriented Sokoban solver, and exposes relevant educational materials. The documented system design can be viewed as a ready-to-use resource for education in object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD), while the Sokoban solver itself may be used as an assignment platform for teaching artificial intelligence (AI). Further documentation, platform, and APIs will be realized and shared in the future to facilitate others educational activities. Overall, this work is supposed to inspire and encourage other researchers and educators to post available materials of more game projects for the purpose of sharing and reuse.

Gamification and Serious Games are progressively being used over a host of fields, particularly to support education. Such games provide a new way to engage students with content and can complement more traditional approaches to learning. This article proposes SherLOCKED, a new serious game created in the style of a 2D top-down puzzle adventure. The game is situated in the context of an undergraduate cyber security course, and is used to consolidate students knowledge of foundational security concepts (e.g. the CIA triad, security threats and attacks and risk management). SherLOCKED was built based on a review of existing serious games and a study of common gamification principles. It was subsequently implemented within an undergraduate course, and evaluated with 112 students. We found the game to be an effective, attractive and fun solution for allowing further engagement with content that students were introduced to during lectures. This research lends additional evidence to the use of serious games in supporting learning about cyber security.
The objective of ontologies is to increase the compression of a given domain by eliminating interpretation problems. Among kinds of ontologies are linguistics ontologies which are ontologies used to simplify the interface between domain knowledge and linguistic components. Digital games have received increasing interest from educators in recent years for their potential to enhance the language learning and linguistic learning experience. Within the literature are games to teach ontologies of a specific domain, and games that use ontologies to facilitate the understanding of a given domain. Other educational games teach linguistics or vocabulary in contexts in which language is useful and meaningful. Although games help to understand difficult topics, the use of games that seek to meet the learning objectives of linguistics is not very popular and those focused on teaching linguistic ontologies are scarce. To solve the lack of the recreational resource for teaching linguistics in this document a prototype of a digital game called onto-ling is proposed. The goal is for the player to learn the relationship between concepts according to semantics, types of concepts and relationships through a game of levels.
Because of the importance of object oriented methodologies, the research in developing new measure for object oriented system development is getting increased focus. The most of the metrics need to find the interactions between the objects and modules for developing necessary metric and an influential software measure that is attracting the software developers, designers and researchers. In this paper a new interactions are defined for object oriented system. Using these interactions, a parser is developed to analyze the existing architecture of the software. Within the design model, it is necessary for design classes to collaborate with one another. However, collaboration should be kept to an acceptable minimum i.e. better designing practice will introduce low coupling. If a design model is highly coupled, the system is difficult to implement, to test and to maintain overtime. In case of enhancing software, we need to introduce or remove module and in that case coupling is the most important factor to be considered because unnecessary coupling may make the system unstable and may cause reduction in the systems performance. So coupling is thought to be a desirable goal in software construction, leading to better values for external software qualities such as maintainability, reusability and so on. To test this hypothesis, a good measure of class coupling is needed. In this paper, based on the developed tool called Design Analyzer we propose a methodology to reuse an existing system with the objective of enhancing an existing Object oriented system keeping the coupling as low as possible.

The web information resources are growing explosively in number and volume. Now to retrieve relevant data from web has become very difficult and time-consuming. Semantic Web envisions that these web resources should be developed in machine-processable way in order to handle irrelevancy and manual processing problems. Whereas, the Semantic Web is an extension of current web, in which web resources are equipped with formal semantics about their interpretation through machines. These web resources are usually contained in web applications and systems, and their formal semantics are normally represented in the form of web-ontologies. In this research paper, an object-oriented design methodology (OODM) is upgraded for developing semantic web applications. OODM has been developed for designing of web applications for the current web. This methodology is good enough to develop web applications. It also provides a systematic approach for the web applications development but it is not helpful in generating machine-pocessable content of web applications in their development. Therefore, this methodology needs to be extended. In this paper, we propose that extension in OODM. This new extended version is referred to as the semantic web object-oriented design methodology (SW-OODM).
