Slides from my talk at Bitspiration 2012. Posing the question if fun is a helpful concept in game testing and what alternatives there are. Giving a case study of an indie action game and showing further implications.
Tandem Design's goal is to help teams making transformational games maximize every team member's contribution, deeply ground their prototypes in theory, and have a clearer, more-shared game vision throughout their process. Tandem Design focuses on making to reflect and iterating on theory and related transformational goals.

Self-Determination theory is a psychological model that deals with questions of human motivation and basic psychological needs. It is highly applicable to game design.

2011’s HOT BUTTON TOPIC: ENGAGEMENT THROUGH GAMIFICATION.Merging Media
2011’s HOT BUTTON TOPIC: ENGAGEMENT THROUGH GAMIFICATION.
Speaker: Scott Dodson, COO, Bobber Interactive.
In just a year, Gamification has become the hottest and most engaging media strategy of the day, but are we just diving in and getting the most of Gamification or missing the mark? Can games change the way we engage film/TV audiences? US Gamification expert Scott Dodson shares some interesting insights into this new trend and provides some existing examples of good play!
This talk shares insights identifying common qualities of games that may promote teen thriving with positive psychology practices. iThrive utilized a two-tiered approach to find these qualities and create a road map for developers to design for positive psychology practices. Experts at a series of think tanks, lead by McDonald, deconstructed the positive psychology concepts into guidelines for positive psychology constructs, both in terms of what systems and features might help and harm the promotion of these practices in players. A semester’s long study with design students, lead by Rusch, revealed that games with the strongest positive psychology components were those that had the most emotional impact, and few game features. Insights from both investigations will be shared, including exemplar games that align with a set of positive psychology practices; the common qualities those games share; and design tips for creating products that can support teen thriving.
Positive psychology practices promote positive youth development, but how can these practices be embedded in games? Drawing from insights collected from industry experts and game design students engaged in a semester-long study, we constructed a road map of the qualities of games that might lead to positive psychology habits.

A semester postmortem on the mindful xp project at the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon. Over the spring 2012 semester our project team developed 10 games with a focus on meaning and expression.
In this presentation we discuss the origins of our project, the 10 games we developed, and what we learned from our experiences about creating meaningful, expressive games.

My Fall semester thesis work on Cognitive Design culminated in a presentation for a final review with my advisors. This slideshow encompasses my primary and secondary research on this topic, as well as my Cognitive Design probes. Finally, I propose a plan for my Spring semester thesis work.
Combining the presentations of Amy Jo Kim, Any Beio, and my own insights, this shows a perspective on how social networks, systems, and even TV ads use game mechanics to create flow state and bring people through even the most complex processes, like the microsoft office suite.
Plenty of practical examples to ground the higher-level thinking, including xbox avatars, progressive insurance, Twitter, sims, slot machines, legos, doll houses, blackjack, and more.

Gamification:the new key to success.How gamification is applied in education.Dorina.Izbisciuc
"Gamification-the new key to success" is a presentation about the application of gaming concepts in our social life,in business,in education and at work.In the decade of games,we explain the basic games dynamics,games mechanics and their crucial importance in order to become a great player in reality.We have to start doing the real world more like a game,so we started by explaining the gamification process in education, emphasizing the huge success of The Khan Academy and of the math teacher Ananth Pai.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
