Abstract

In order to help decision-makers find ways to reduce $$\text {CO}_{2}$$ CO 2 emissions of Swiss cities, a simulation game is being developed within the “Post-fossil cities” project. During the game, participants take on different roles in which they together explore pathways to a future, post-fossil city. An important requirement to the software system of the game was to be easily configurable in order to keep the game adaptive to different target groups of players. We describe a User Interface Management System (UIMS) that has been designed and implemented to realise the flexibility demanded from the game designers’ side. The system allows game facilitators to configure the game and decide what kinds of visualisations are used during game sessions. The paper describes how the configuration system was conceptualised, implemented and integrated into the overall system architecture of the simulation game.
