ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The workshop wants to discuss the relevance and meaning of intelligent and adaptive gamification designs. Methods of artificial intelligence allow for individualizing gamification concepts to get away from so-called "one-size-fits-all" solutions. Working with and designing individual gamification concept designs is necessary, because users differ in their personality and their behavior, and experience competition and cooperation in different ways. To design individualized gamification concepts, it is also useful to refer to related concepts such as the concept of digital nudging, where different kinds of elements are used to trigger the behavior of users. Gamification and digital nudging elements are also used as elements to reduce the usage behavior of users by referring to the concept of "Digital Detox". Consequently, we need to get away from standardized gamification and digital nudging designs by better adapting such concepts to a specific context and/or the needs of a target group by working with intelligent methods. The goal of the workshop is discuss about how we can make gamification concepts more intelligent to better adapt them to the needs of a target group of to a specific context.

This workshop is part of a THCI (AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction) special issue and considers submissions concerning the following topics:

  *   Concepts and empirical insights on individualized gamification concepts
  *   Artificial intelligence and gamification
  *   Gamification concepts for "Smart personal assistants"
  *   NeuroIS and gamification
  *   Analysis of user needs and preferences in gamification
  *   Role and meaning of context and culture in developing gamification concepts
  *   Individual design of gamification concepts (working with dynamics of competition and collaboration)
  *   Digital nudging vs. Gamification
  *   Digital nudging to motivate behavioral changes of users
  *   Gamification/ digital nudging for digital detox
