“…streamers) and frame their connections without a well-established thesis (just a tentative list of mediators—that is, from a visualizing perspective, the nodes of the network) but considering their mutual co-existence in the targeted gaming service platforms (with more strong arguments, structured theories like social shape of technology and normalization process theory could have been adopted). ANT was used in international relations, 44 web design, 45 public transport, 46 and cyber-security, 47 often combined with qualitative methods like ethnography and qualitative interviews. However, it was scarcely harnessed in Game Studies (for an exception see Cypher and Richardson 48 and Jessen and Jessen 49 ) and to inform visualization techniques.…”

In current Game Research, gaming service platforms such as PlayStation Network, Steam, and Twitch.tv represent a still poorly investigated topic. Despite the millions of monthly viewers and members, little efforts have been done to shed light on their dynamics and trends. This article aims to address such a lack by presenting the findings of an empirical inquiry guided by the key concepts of “platform” and “actor–network theory” with the support of a novel network visualization technique. Specifically, the role-playing game Dark Souls 3–related activity on Steam and Twitch.tv was collected for the first 20 days from the release (12 April–1 May 2016). Targeted data concerned several variables among which: most viewed streamers, streaming types, debating topics and reviews’ highlights on Steam (etc.) through screenshots, user-generated content, and text gathering. Data were processed and then visualized with the network-oriented software Gephi for uncovering associations and patterns in the targeted online environments. The action game The Division worked as an exploratory case study and counter-example for stressing the proposal. Although with some limitations, the visualization strategy adopted (four networks for each platform) proved to be effective in framing and communicating the results in a straightforward way. Finally, findings enlightened a phenomenon (i.e. gaming service platforms), that is, getting increasingly central in digital entertainment, and might inform further investigations with alternative designs and focuses.

“…The term STS originated from organizational structure and work force management (Trist 1981), however, it is currently in use in many domains [including urban activities (Valderrama and Jrgensen 2008)] that are based on both technical and social aspects (Fox 1995). In Fox (1995), Fox emphasizes the need to deal with "social" and "technical" aspects inter-dependently because "arrangements that are optimal for one may not be optimal for the other and trade-offs are often required".…”

Purpose This paper studies the influence of information and communication technologies on human reasoning and decision making. It investigates the potential impact of ambient intelligence on change in pedestrian mobility behavior, using a large city-scale scenario. Methods This work establishes an interplay between social and technological aspects of awareness by augmenting a model-driven framework of a realistic information eco-system. A distributed multi-agent system is developed to model a real-life urban mobility environment. The model is then simulated using a large scale parallel computing platform. Results Evaluation results revealed that the quality of information in ambient-assisted environments increases when compared with those without ambient intelligence. Conclusion We conclude that there is a positive correlation between the extent of information being shared in a socially-inspired information eco-systems and the level of collective awareness in an urban mobility scenario.

“…The numerous advantages of driverless trains over conventionally driven trains include the ability to program their operation to maximise their energy efficiency, to operate regardless of time of day without the need for expensive personnel, and their equal (or even superior) safety record [34,35]. However, the process of introducing driverless trains is commonly stagnated or stopped by drivers' unions.…”

As energy prices rise, urban rail energy efficiency becomes even more important. Many technological, operational and policy-based energy efficiency measures are well known and can have a notable positive effect on the urban rail systems. However, these measures can remain unimplemented. This lack of action can often be attributed to a variety of conflicting stakeholder opinions and a lack of knowledge transfer. This paper firstly focusses on the energy efficiency requirements of various stakeholders, before discussing about how such conflicts can be circumvented to ensure the success of future energy efficiency projects.
