In the last half decade, there has been increasing interest in the process of information systems modeling, mostly focusing on im- provement of quality, efficiency, and control. While generic guidelines and phasing have been explored to a considerable extent, we are still a long way removed from in-depth understanding, full support, and adequate tooling with respect to operational modeling processes. Building on existing work in modeling methods and method engineering, we propose to expand the scope of modeling process research by taking a Human-Computer Interaction approach, viewing (situational) methods and their tool support, in combination with participants in operational process enactment, as an operational interaction system. More in particular, we discuss the merits of using the Game Metaphor as a clarifying and goal-setting view on the design of such interaction systems. Thus we approach Method Engineering as Game Design.Read the full paper here: https://www.emmsad.org/archive/2008
