“…A bibliometric analysis of international papers is a way to provide a valuable reference for future research [28]. A systematic literature review is a method to analyze, evaluate, and interpret each study relevant to a particular research question, specific area, or phenomenon of interest [29]. This process was originated in medical science due to the increasing amount of research in each area [30].…”

COVID-19 forced higher education institutions to reinvent themselves. The (usually) face-to-face education has swapped to distance contingency education. This change brought about numerous challenges that impose adjustments in several dimensions, such as pedagogical strategies and the dependence on teaching platforms and computer systems—and, above all, the new relationship between the various actors (students, teachers, and management staff). All the sudden changes, combined with uncertainty concerning what was happening, created several strategies and options. This paper has the main purpose of analyzing the scientific production on higher education of EU27 academic institutions during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic in journals indexed in Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science and Elsevier’s Scopus. The sample is composed of 22 articles in total. The results show that the articles were published in 19 journals; their main focuses are Higher Education, COVID-19, and distance learning. In our database, we find several types of concerns, which shows that HEIs have a wide range of dimensions. We intend this article to be an instrument, not only to identify what was done in 2020, but to point out clues for the future.

The progress of video games, hand in hand with the technological development, has been exponential in recent years. Its diffusion in society through multiple existing formats (computer, console, mobile devices, etc.) is growing. The number of video game players increases every year. As a result, the technical and user experience requirements also increase, and the behavior of the players with the game experience is unknown. Therefore, it is necessary to have the elements that allow evaluating and measuring this behavior from several perspectives. Therefore, it is necessary to have elements that allow evaluating and measuring the behavior of players with the game experience from different perspectives. It is important to have these different points of view to continuing the contribution in this aspect. Having that in mind, it has been made an analysis of measurement of effectiveness' measure and entertainment that will serve as a basis to approach studies in search of improvements in the user experience, a topic of great interest among the current generators or manufacturers of these video games.

A Study on Design Requirement Development and Satisfaction for Future Virtual World Systems

Virtual worlds have become global platforms connecting millions of people and containing various technologies. For example, No Man’s Sky (nomanssky.com), a cross-platform virtual world, can dynamically and automatically generate content with the progress of user adventure. AltspaceVR (altvr.com) is a social virtual reality platform supporting motion capture through Microsoft’s Kinect, eye tracking, and mixed reality extension. The changes in industrial investment, market revenue, user population, and consumption drive the evolution of virtual-world-related technologies (e.g., computing infrastructure and interaction devices), which turns into new design requirements and thus results in the requirement satisfaction problem in virtual world system architecture design. In this paper, we first study the new or evolving features of virtual worlds and emerging requirements of system development through market/industry trend analysis, including infrastructure mobility, content diversity, function interconnectivity, immersive environment, and intelligent agents. Based on the trend analysis, we propose a new design requirement space. We, then, discuss the requirement satisfaction of existing system architectures and highlight their limitations through a literature review. The feature-based requirement satisfaction comparison of existing system architectures sheds some light on the future virtual world system development to match the changing trends of the user market. At the end of this study, a new architecture from an ongoing research, called Virtual Net, is discussed, which can provide higher resource sufficiency, computing reliability, content persistency, and service credibility.
