Erdbrink, A.E. (author), Kortmann, Rens (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)This paper explores the context dependency of two popular persuasive game design principles in order to improve their effective implementation. Because of limited guidelines the choice and suitability of a persuasive game design principle is often based on a designer’s own intuition. To prevent the use of badly chosen design principles that can...conference paper 2019

Erdbrink, A.E. (author), Kortmann, Rens (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Persuasive games for societal interventions aim to shape, reinforce<br/>or change players’ attitudes and behavior to help solving complex societal<br/>issues. In earlier work, we explored how persuasive game mechanics may<br/>contribute to the formation of attitudes in persuasive games. As a follow-up, this paper presents four design...conference paper 2019

Roungas, V. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)The complexity of modern systems has made the use of simulations paramount, in order to test different scenarios in an affordable, ethical, and risk-free way. As such, simulations need to be validated, ensuring that the obtained results are meaningful. But validation apart from the computational difficulties, bears several other problems. The...conference paper 2018

Roungas, V. (author), de Wijse, Marieke (author), Meijer, S.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Debriefing is considered, by many scholars, to be a fundamental part of learning through games and simulations. Despite its significance, there is a lack of research in the area of debriefing, which results in unaddressed factors that inhibit debriefing. Research in the field is complicated by many influencing factors varying from context to...conference paper 2018

van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Calvert, S.C. (author), Schakel, W.J. (author), Wang, M. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)It is remarkable that drivers (on average) can safely navigate through dense traffic at high speeds—conditions in which the time headways between vehicles are in the same order of magnitude as human reaction times. One explanation for this is the ability of drivers to anticipate on the traffic conditions in their surroundings. In this paper,...conference paper 2018

(author)Global transportation knows many different modalities – goods arrive from far away places by ship, plane, railway, or truck. Airports and seaports both represent important nodes within the global transportation network. Both show distinct characteristics, but also similarities when it comes to challenges like required flexibility, robustness,...conference paper 2018

van Duin, Ron (author), Geerlings, H (author), Oey, M.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)The increase in population, high standards of living and rapid urbanization has led to an increasing demand for food across the globe. The global trade has made it possible to meet this demand by enabling transport of different food products from one part of the world to another. In this trade, refrigerated containers (reefers) play an important...conference paper 2017

Roungas, V. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Thirty years of research on validation and verification (V\&V) has returned a plethora of methods, statistical techniques, and reported case studies. It is that abundance of methods that poses a major challenge. Because of overlap between methods and time and budget constraints, it is impossible to apply all the available methods in a single...conference paper 2017
