Mission:
We study gamification mechanisms that could enhance design activities, and discover the computational, social and psychological principles underlying successful design gamification. Specifically, we investigate potential connections among design challenges, human-comprehensible tasks and incentive mechanisms, and address challenges in Mechanism Design, Large-scale Crowdsourcing, Learning from Imperfect Solutions, and Human Cognition and Creativity Modeling. Key real-world applications include Engineering and Industrial Design Education, Design Solution Crowdsourcing, and solving computationally hard Design Optimization Problems.
