Game developers share a common community of interest: how to best engineer game software. They focus their attention on entertainment market opportunities as well as game-based applications in non-entertainment domains such as education, healthcare, defense, and scientific research (i.e., serious games). This Workshop seeks contributions from academic researchers and commercial game developers, addressing topics that span the emerging and current research challenges in the area: Large-scale game software engineering Game software requirements engineering Game software design (architecture, component) Game software testing, including usability, playability Teamwork processes in game software engineering Automated generation of computer games Global software game development Cloud-based computing infrastructure and services to support online games Crowd-sourced play, or .games with a purpose. Analysis of data from large scale game playing Gaming for productivity (serious gaming) Game-based software engineering education
