Abstract

AšERIšKIS, Darius; BLAžAUSKAS, Tomas  and  DAMAšEVIčIUS, Robertas. UAREI: A model for formal description and visual representation /software gamification. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2017, vol.84, n.200, pp.326-334. ISSN 0012-7353.  https://doi.org/10.15446/dyna.v84n200.54017.

The paper presents the UAREI (User-Action-Rule-Entities-Interface) model for formal specification of software gamification, and the UAREI visual modelling language for graphical representation of game mechanics. A case of study in gamification of the Trogon project management system is presented. The proposed model and visual language is compared against the Machinations gamification framework using visual complexity metrics, game simulation and qualitative comparison.

Keywords : gamification; modelling; abstraction; formal model.
