Workflow Patterns as a Means to Model Task Succession in Games: A Preliminary Case Study - Entertainment Computing-ICEC 2014 - page 39

initial case studies. Our first results suggest that workflow patterns show some
promise, but that there are also some limitations that currently constrain their
potential in regard to games and which need further investigation, in particular,
the ability to model winning and losing conditions and time aspects. Further
case studies will be necessary to confirm our preliminary observations.
