Title: "Collaborative Research: SoD-TEAM: Values at Play - Integrating Social Factors into Design"The focus of this project is on the development of a software design methodology, titled "Values at Play (VAP)" that takes values into account when developing software systems. The methodology, or set of best practices, addresses such issues as: how values can be consistently and systematically integrated into the design of software systems, how values investigations, in the context of technical design, can be made scientifically rigorous, and, the construction of a viable set of general software design principles that could lead to the integration of values across a variety of design tasks. The VAP project integrates the humanities, the arts, and social, and ethical interests into the scientific design of technological systems by specifically focusing on values in the design of games. The project involves three research activities including: 1. Development of a rigorous methodology (or, best practices) for supporting value conscious design; a handbook of the Values at Play methodology is made available in hardcopy and on the Web. This phase explores such issues as: how to identify values that might be relevant to a given design project, how to embody or express values in system design, how to engage in appraisal of whether and to what extent designers have successfully embedded target values in a given system. 2. Development of a values-in-design toolkit which includes: a) game building components to help students create games based on a values-orientation; and b) several working examples demonstrating values-to-design-feature correlations. 3. Assessment of design training interventions: the team will design several instruments to assess the values integration in the methodology and Toolkit. In addition to the research activities, this project engages faculty and practitioners in a Workshop about Values at Play. Embedding values within technological systems, and verifying that such systems actually reflects those values, is particularly appropriate using computer games since they affect larger society. This research will also be of use to educators and systems designers in the IT field considering game structures in their approaches as well as to scholars interested in the study of technology, society, and humanity. Potentially, this project might advance this line of inquiry to a pervasive, industry changing, international level of importance which not only promotes the humanistic study of these issues but enhances real products for real people.Program Manager: Anita J.

标题：“协作研究：SOD -TEAM：游戏中的价值 - 将社会因素整合到设计中”“该项目的重点是开发软件设计方法，标题为“播放值（VAP）”，该方法在开发软件系统时考虑了值。该方法或一组最佳实践解决了诸如：如何始终如一和系统地集成在软件系统设计中的问题，如何在技术设计的背景下进行科学严格的价值调查，并建立一组可行的通用软件设计原理，从而导致各种设计任务的价值集成。 VAP项目将人文，艺术，社会和道德利益纳入了技术系统的科学设计，专门专门关注游戏设计的价值。该项目涉及三个研究活动，包括：1。开发一种严格的方法（或最佳实践）来支持意识到的价值设计；播放方法中的值手册可在硬拷贝和网络上提供。该阶段探讨了以下问题：如何识别可能与给定设计项目相关的值，如何体现或表达系统设计中的值，如何进行评估，以评估设计人员是否成功地将目标值嵌入给定系统中。 2。开发设计工具包，其中包括：a）游戏构建组件，以帮助学生根据价值观创建游戏； b）几个工作示例，证明了值至设计功能相关性。 3。设计培训干预措施的评估：团队将设计多种工具来评估方法和工具包中的价值整合。除了研究活动外，该项目还参与教师和从业人员的有关价值观的研讨会。将价值嵌入技术系统中，并验证此类系统实际反映这些价值，因为它们会影响更大的社会，因此特别适合使用计算机游戏。这项研究还将用于IT领域的教育工作者和系统设计师，考虑其方法中的游戏结构以及对技术，社会和人类研究感兴趣的学者。有可能的是，该项目可能会将这一探究线推向普遍，行业改变，国际重要性，这不仅促进了对这些问题的人文研究，而且增强了真实人的真实产品。
