One of the primary challenges is to develop effective methods for evaluating serious games and measuring their impact and outcomes. Another challenge is to design serious games that are both engaging and effective, which requires a deep understanding of game design principles and instructional design. The book also emphasizes the need to develop effective software engineering practices for serious game development and the importance of gamification in improving user engagement and motivation. The potential of serious games for addressing societal challenges such as cybersecurity and healthcare is also highlighted. Despite these challenges, the book also identifies several opportunities for the field, including the potential of serious games to provide new and innovative approaches to learning and the potential of serious games to address real-world problems in new and effective ways.
This book is intended for software engineers, game developers, educators, and anyone interested in how games in serious contexts can be effectively created. Overall, the chapters in the book provide a valuable snapshot of the current state of the field and offer insights into where it may be headed in the future.
Kendra M. L. Cooper is an Independent Scholar whose research interests span software and systems engineering (requirements engineering and architecture) and engineering education; these topics are explored within the context of game engineering. Current topics include graph-based approaches such as biologically inspired adaptable software architecture models and ontological foundations for serious educational games. She has (co-)edited the books 'Computer Games and Software Engineering' (2015) and 'Software Engineering Perspectives in Computer Game Development' (2021), and has co-organized/organized ICSE Workshops on Games and Software Engineering and the CSEE&T Workshop on Essence in Education and Training.
Antonio Bucchiarone is a Senior Researcher at the Motivational Digital Systems (MoDiS) research unit of the Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK) in Trento, Italy. His research activity is focused on many aspects of Software Engineering. Current topics include advanced methodologies and techniques supporting the definition, development, and management of gameful systems in different domains (i.e., education, sustainable mobility, software modeling, etc..). He was the General Chair of the 12th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self Organizing Systems (SASO 2018) and has co-organized/organized multiple workshops at MODELS, ESEC/FSE, STAF and ICSE.
