Water supply systems are essential for a modern society. This article presents an overview of the latest research related to information and communication technology systems for water resource monitoring, control and management. The main objective of our review is to show how emerging technologies offer support for smart administration of water infrastructures. The paper covers research results related to smart cities, smart water monitoring, big data, data analysis and decision support. Our evaluation reveals that there are many possible solutions generated through combinations of advanced methods. Emerging technologies open new possibilities for including new functionalities such as social involvement in water resource management. This review offers support for researchers in the area of water monitoring and management to identify useful models and technologies for designing better solutions.

“…As one of the fastest-growing entertainment industries, the video game industry has various platforms, genres, and cutting-edge technologies. In addition, video games have evolved with specific game mechanics making genres not definitive, while the genre itself is reshaped as the technology develops [12]. As video games become an immersive cultural medium with global implications, game metrics were essential to facilitate the development [13] [12], which balance narrative (immersive stories), graphics (attractiveness), and game experience (delivering user experiences) towards a game that engaging, educational, and entertaining.…”

Technology advancements allowed the development of action games that packed multifaceted play in a single game while requiring fast-paced movements. Since modern action game is composed of boss battles, evaluating them was scarcely investigated. In this study, the analysis of the boss battle was conducted based on the God of War (GoW) series, where the underlying entertainment aspects of the game were identified. The information progress of the boss battle of each of the considered GoW series was modeled using the game refinement (GR) theory and its extension, called motion in mind. The evolution of challenge, anticipation, and unpredictability between different GoW series was identified while the entertainment aspects of the game were investigated. The evolutionary trend of the sophistication and unpredictability of the GoW series games provided insights into the intended narrative design, harmonic balance between skill and chance, and provided learning comfort for player mastery of the game-playing.INDEX TERMS Action Game, Game Evolution, God of War Series, Game Refinement I.

“…A data-driven survey of video game scores on Metacritic is presented by Predescu and Mocanu [105], focusing on PC games and a classification by genres. The PC has always been a popular gaming platform, but a considerable number of game consoles created a rich variety of options for the increased interest in video games among the younger generations, from handheld devices (e.g., Game Boy, Nintendo DS, Sony PlayStation Portable) to home consoles (e.g., Sony PlayStation/2/3/4, Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox/360/One) [106].…”

This paper presents the current state of the gaming industry, which provides an important background for an effective serious game implementation in mobile crowdsensing. An overview of existing solutions, scientific studies and market research highlights the current trends and the potential applications for citizen-centric platforms in the context of Cyber–Physical–Social systems. The proposed solution focuses on serious games applied in urban water management from the perspective of mobile crowdsensing, with a reward-driven mechanism defined for the crowdsensing tasks. The serious game is designed to provide entertainment value by means of gamified interaction with the environment, while the crowdsensing component involves a set of roles for finding, solving and validating water-related issues. The mathematical model of distance-constrained multi-depot vehicle routing problem with heterogeneous fleet capacity is evaluated in the context of the proposed scenario, with random initial conditions given by the location of players, while the Vickrey–Clarke–Groves auction model provides an alternative to the centralized task allocation strategy, subject to the same evaluation method. A blockchain component based on the Hyperledger Fabric architecture provides the level of trust required for achieving overall platform utility for different stakeholders in mobile crowdsensing.
