ABSTRACT
The concept of Social Machines has become an established lens to describe the sociotechnical systems of Web Science, and has been applied to some archetypical cyberphysical systems. In this paper we apply this lens to a larger system, the location based online augmented reality game Pokémon Go!. The contributions are an illustrative application of the descriptive Social Machines lens to a system of this scale and type, and the use of simulation as a method for an executable description, which includes use of an ontology to represent partially the universe of the game.

Observing Social Machines Part 2: How to Observe?
WebSci '15: Proceedings of the ACM Web Science ConferenceSocial machines are increasingly attracting study. In our paper "Observing Social Machines Part 1: what to observe?" we scoped the task of observing them. Several exercises that have followed have further informed our thinking and methodologies. Here, ...
Towards personalised, gamified systems: an investigation into game design, personality and player typologies
IE '13: Proceedings of The 9th Australasian Conference on Interactive Entertainment: Matters of Life and DeathWith the rise of Gamification, the boundaries between play and games on the one hand, and everyday life on the other are being challenged, and as a result game play is entering the realm of everyday life. We believe that with the breakdown of this ...
Cyberphysical systems
Essentially, the emerging term CyberPhysical Systems (CPS) is an architectural paradigm in which the pervasive sensing technologies represent a fundamental part. Originally defined in the computer sciences domain, the term CyberPhysical Systems has been ...
