“…NTMs are devices in which the transformation of x into y is highly dependent on history, time and context and in which the device itself changes as a result of x. Social systems, consisting of adaptable and interdependent human beings, are perfect examples of NTMs (Klabbers, 2006). Here, how x is transformed into y, becomes highly relevant and the researcher thus needs to open up the black box (Von Foerster, 1984).…”

“…If we wish to structure a debriefing, and thus make the debriefing a design consideration as proposed by Crookall (2010), we should inform this process with the peculiarities of the context in which the simulation is employed. As Klabbers (2006) stated, the goal of a gaming simulation (DIS) should serve the meta-goal of DIL processes. Kriz and Hense (2006) sought to combine these two design processes by linking common applications of gaming simulation to Greif and Kurtz' (1996) model of organizational development.…”

“…However, to support the design of engaging video games, more knowledge is needed of the constituents of the experience of engagement and on the game features that promote it. Further, the use of formal models in the design and evaluation of video games is considered increasingly important (Grünvogel 2005;Klabbers 2006). Models are able to make explicit the success factors across a variety of games as well as players' subjective experiences that are important in play.…”

Game feature and expertise effects on experienced richness, control and engagement in game play

The extent to which game play is experienced as engaging is an important criterion for the playability of video games. This study investigates how video games can be designed towards increased levels of experienced engagement over time. For this purpose, two experiments were conducted in which a total of 35 participants repeatedly played a video game. Results indicate that experienced engagement is based on the extent to which the game provides rich experiences as well as by the extent to which the game provides a sense of control. In view of the influence of both game features and players' expertise on the levels of experienced richness and control, it is concluded that game features should be modified over time to maintain optimal levels of engagement.

“…The concept of roles, rules, objectives and constraints are based on Gibbs' (1974) definition of the structure of simulation games. The characteristics and use of simulation games to understand complex systems and situations are also well described by Klabbers (2006). The term 'load' is based on Wenzler's (2003) work on the transformational capacity of simulation games.…”

Seaports are crucial interfaces in global intermodal freight transportation networks. Their complex operations, connectedness to external stakeholders, and increasing volumes of goods to be handled make them vulnerable to internal and external disruptions. Research has shown that disruptions in seaports can cause undesirable ripple effects, which negatively impact the operations of the entire transportation network as well as the surrounding economical and societal wellbeing. Containerized transportation plays a major role in the global trade network. Resilience of seaport container terminals is therefore imperative for a resilient and robust intermodal transportation network. Communication, information sharing, alignment of plans, and shared awareness of unfolding disruptions among planners and decision makers within terminal operations have been identified as important elements to improve the resilience of container terminals. However, in practice, the inter-dependencies between various planning and operational activities, and alignment of solution strategies have been largely overlooked. Addressing this gap, a novel approach for creating awareness of potential strategies for disruption management by training competencies for resilient container terminal operations has been introduced in the form of a simulation game. Several test sessions of a multiplayer tabletop game support the following two findings-first, the simulation game can be a useful means to train competencies for resilient transport operations from the perspective of the future planners and decision makers, as well as for soon-to-be professionals in container terminals. Second, the game may help participants to make choices that lead to resilient transport operations in container terminals.
