The development of gamification within non-game information systems as well as serious games has recently gained an important role in a variety of business fields due to promising behavioral or psychological improvements. However, industries still struggle with the high efforts of implementing gameful affordances in non-game systems. In order to decrease factors such as project costs, development cycles, and resource consumption as well as to improve the quality of products, the gamification modeling language has been proposed in prior research. However, the language is on a descriptive level only, i.e., cannot be used to automatically generate executable software artifacts.In this paper and based on this language, we introduce a model-driven architecture for designing as well as generating building blocks for serious games. Furthermore, we give a validation of our approach by going through the different steps of designing an achievement system in the context of an existing serious game.

A gap analysis of enterprise Gamification applications with social servicenics theory: challenges and implications

Gamification is an emerging trend in service engineering with a perspective on engagement management. Gamification applications include marketing, enterprise management, education, and health-care. Gamification facilitates user behavior design and social experience design. However, there are many obstacles to successful gamification in an enterprise context. The author discusses the challenges and design patterns that deal with these obstacles. The author discusses a mismatch analysis using gaps identified between enterprise gamification design and the general service engineering guidelines. Then, the author discusses the implications for design patterns that deal with the identified gaps.

“…In this paper we have shown that gamification concepts can be trivially applied to situations where target players are actually organizations and not just an individual. Other aspects that distinguish our work from the current gamification implementation approaches is that current solutions do not explicitly specify the objective that is to be achieved through different game rules [10]. This has serious consequence when the size of the application grows, as it becomes increasingly difficult to identify what game rules are trying to achieve and which game rules collective achieve an objective.…”

Abstract. Formation of collaborative settings (virtual organizations, collaborative network organizations, etcetera) is hindered by the lack of trust between unfamiliar but potential partners. Gamification is the application of game design principles to non-game environments. We claim that incorporating the concepts of gamification into Virtual Organisation Breeding Environments (VBEs) leads to building trust between VBE members, as well as motivating them to be proactive members of the VBEs that contribute towards the flourishing of VBEs. This paper explores a novel gamified approach, supported by a suitable methodology, to address the relatively neglected concept of 'preparedness' of VBEs.
