An Overview of Gamification in Conflict Resolution and Complex Problems Using Scaled Down Arenas in Areas of Contention

Abstract

The process of testing new techniques for complex problems, especially in conflict resolution can be daunting. In this project, it proposes and attempts to implement a method of scaling down a problem into a manageable context. This approach using gamification to codify a problem into a smaller scale and then applying it onto a scaled-down arena of contention (i.e. smaller but accurate representation) where tests can be conducted under more manageable and controllable conditions.
