  • A Fugitive Success That Finland Is Quickly Becoming a Victim of Its Own Success
    Professor Charles Sabel from Columbia Law School and Professor AnnaLee Saxenian from UC Berkeley argue in their book A Fugitive Success that Finland is quickly becoming a victim of its own success. In recent decades Finnish firms in the forest products and telecommunications industries have become world leaders. But the kind of discipline that made this success possible, and the public policies that furthered it, is unlikely to secure it in the future. Efficiency improvements and incremental A Fugitive Success innovations along the current business trajectory will gradually lead these industries into a dead-end unless they use innovation as a vehicle for transforming themselves into new higher value businesses. Saxenian and Sabel raise some serious concerns about the readiness of these industries, and the Finnish innovation system as a whole, for the needed transformation. A Fugitive Success is required reading for A Fugitive Success those involved in the development of the Finnish innovation environment and Finland’s Economic Future implementing the new national innovation strategy.

    MOBILE GAMING: A Framework for Evaluating the Industry 2000-2005 JUSSI-PEKKA PARTANEN Copyright (C) 2001 Gaptime Century, Ltd. MOBILE GAMING: A FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATING THE INDUSTRY 2000-2005 Abstract (English) Author: Jussi-Pekka Partanen, Gaptime Century Ltd. Report title: Mobile Gaming:A Framework for Evaluating the Industry 2000-2005 Date: 15.06.2001 Pages: 110 A mobile game is a commercial product that is distributed to the customer using mobile operator’s network. The game is an interactive product; many kinds of entertainment services are not covered by this report, such as joke or comics services or the popular ring tone and logo services. What distinguishes mobile games from other kinds of entertainment services is that the interactivity creates so-called stickiness for the service. The games may be addictive and offer something more than “disposable” fun, as operator logos do. The target of this study is to give an introduction to the mobile gaming industry and build a framework for analysing the success of mobile game products and companies. Currently the mobile gaming industry is in the introduction phase. Many start-up companies are developing different games and technologies and believe that they will be the winners when the market moves from introduction to the growth stage. At this point the company must have the critical mass in order to flourish, otherwise the companies with bigger better partnering networks and marketing and sales forces are eating the smaller one. The framework depends on the following methods: the industry and mobile game life cycle model, value distribution in the value delivery network and external company analysis.

  • Catastrophic Cyber-Physical Malware∗
    Catastrophic Cyber-Physical Malware∗ Suresh Kothari1, 2, Ganesh Ram Santhanam1, Payas Awadhutkar1, Benjamin Holland1, Jon Mathews2, and Ahmed Tamrawi2 1Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011 2EnSoft Corp., 2625 N Loop Dr Suite 2580, Ames, IA 50010 Abstract With the advent of highly sophisticated cyber-physical malware (CPM) such as Industroyer, a cyber- attack could be as destructive as the terrorist attack on 9/11, and it would virtually paralyze the nation. We discuss as the major risks the vulnerability of: telecommunication infrastructure, industrial control systems (ICS), and mission-critical software. In differentiating CPM from traditional malware, the difference really comes from the open-ended possibilities for malware triggers resulting from the wide spectrum of sensor inputs, and the almost limitless application-specific possibilities for designing malicious payloads. Fundamentally, the challenges of detecting sophisticated CPM stem from the complexities inherent in the software at the heart of cyber-physical systems. We discuss three fundamental challenges: explosion of execution behaviors, computational intractability of checking feasible behaviors, and difficult-to-analyze programming constructs. In detecting novel CPM, the tasks are: developing plausible hypotheses for malware trigger and mali- cious payload, analyzing software to gather evidence based on CPM hypotheses, and verifying software to prove or refute a hypothesis based on the gathered evidence. We discuss research directions for effective automation to support these tasks. 1 Introduction The imminent danger of cyber-physical malware (CPM) is evident from attacks such as the power outage in Ukraine [122] or the hijacking of a Jeep Cherokee [83]. The net-centricity of modern systems offers an adversary affordable attack vectors through cyberspace against critical missions.

  • Mobile Phone Games: Understanding the User Experience
    Mobile phone games: Understanding the user experience Hayley Dixon Gary Davis Associates, UK Valerie A Mitchell Loughborough University, UK Susan D P Harker Loughborough University, UK INTRODUCTION Mobile gaming is viewed by the mobile communication industry as one of the ‘killer applications’ for future mobile services. Fuelled by the success of games such as Nokia’s Snake and the continuing popularity of online and console gaming, the drive is to develop ever more sophisticated and engaging gaming experiences for mobile users. However the current mobile gaming experience in terms of graphics, interaction mode and content more closely resembles that presented by personal computer games of 20 years ago than anything evoked by today’s console based offerings. Despite such limitations the appeal of mobile games continues to grow. Market research conducted by Nokia estimates that 85% of people with the game ‘Space Impact’ on their phones have tried it out and 45% play it everyday (Robens, 2001). Mobile gaming research has predominantly focused on the “mobility of gaming” (Kuivakari 2001). Such research seeks to exploit the entertainment potential of ubiquitous technologies and augmented reality, making both the proximity of others and the mobile environment itself part of the gaming experience. (See for example Bjork et al (2001), Brunnberg (2002). The research reported here aims to provide insight into what motivates people to play existing mobile phone games, despite their limitations, and seeks to identify elements of the current mobile gaming experience that should be preserved within future games.
