It is&nbsp; used as a means for motivating and engaging users and influencing their behaviors. Thus, during the last few years,&nbsp; many researchers have attempted to find a way to design and implement gamified systems that are adaptively&nbsp; personalized based on user types. This paper proposes a framework that aims to aid software engineers in&nbsp; systematically designing adaptively personalized gamification applications of any context type by adapting the&nbsp; appearance of gamification elements based on each user type. The framework introduces a method that provides a&nbsp; systematic means to modify the system at runtime (i.e., while the system is in use) based on the user’s preferences and&nbsp; behavior by changing the existing elements based on the usage of each user. The researchers validate the proposed&nbsp; framework using a case study conducted with employees of a largescale software development company. By applying&nbsp; all their practical comments, the methods of the proposed framework were enhanced. Moreover, to formalize the&nbsp; proposed framework the researchers develop an ontology that implements the mappings between game elements and&nbsp; user types by defining rules that govern their usage. In this paper, an ontology validation is presented including the use of Reasoner, Instances, SPARQL queries, and requirements model implementation. Also, a sample prototype is&nbsp; presented on one of the most used applications and show how the researchers apply this framework to it.&nbsp;</p> Wael El Gammal Nada Sherief Walid Abdelmoez Copyright (c) 2023 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2023-11-21 2023-11-21 3 2 24 63
