Architecture and design of GAME — the Goals And Motivation Engine for deterministic adaptive gamification
Research
Research themes and collaborations
My research around GAME studies how adaptive incentives influence participation quality, retention, and fairness in citizen science and spatial crowdsourcing.
Current lines:
- Adaptive vs static gamification behavior under real participation variability.
- Incentive redistribution mechanisms to reduce participation inequality.
- Deterministic and reproducible evaluation of strategy-driven scoring models.
- Scalability and stress-testing of gamified platforms under high concurrent load.
GAME supports this research through explicit strategy parameterization, simulation-safe execution, and traceable scoring outcomes.
