Titre : Challenges and Opportunities on Software Engineering for Computer Games

Résumé : The computer games industry (CG) is an essential part of the software industry. Games are a multi-billionaire market, adding CD$ 3.7 billion to Canada’s GDP annually, supporting more than 40,000 jobs. CG are simultaneously advanced software products and complex works of creativity and art, covering a vast spectrum of themes and genres, representing a heterogeneous group of different products with varying requirements and business goals. However,  the software engineering (SE) community rarely studies computer games, and there is a lack of research about CG because there is more art than engineering.  In this talk, we will discuss the state-of-the-art of Software Engineering for Games (SEGA), highlighting the challenges and opportunities for researching SEGA.
