Die Autoren zeigen einen neuen Weg auf, gamifizierte Wissensmanagementsysteme mit der Anwendung spielerischer Elemente zu gestalten, und beschreiben die Anforderungserhebung, die Gestaltung und Evaluation des Systems. Hierbei gehen sie auf die theoretischen Grundlagen sowie die Umsetzung und Nutzung in einem Unternehmen ein. Mithilfe von Gamification-Mechanismen sollen Projektteams dazu motiviert werden, ihr Wissen und ihre Erfahrungen zu dokumentieren und in anderen Projekten wiederzuverwenden. Damit erhalt der Leser einen umfassenden Einblick in die Theorie und Praxis des modernen...

Building a foundational understanding of the digital, Logic of the Digital reveals a unique digital ontology. Beginning from formal and technical characteristics, especially the binary code at the core of all digital technologies, Aden Evens traces the pathways along which the digital domain of abstract logic encounters the material, human world. How does a code using only 0s and 1s give rise to the vast range of applications and information that constitutes a great and growing portion of our world?

Evens' analysis shows how any encounter between the actual and the digital...
