Foundations of Applied Software Engineering for Games workshop (FaSE4Games’26)
Co-located with ACM International Conference on the Foundations of Software Engineering (FSE’2026)
Montreal, Canada
Workshops will be held over two days – one day preceding the main conference and one day after the main conference, i.e., July 5th and July 9th (Precise date TBA)
Theme
The Foundations of Applied Software Engineering for Games workshop (FaSE4Games’26) has for goal to share innovative research contributions in software-engineering methods that address the challenges currently facing game development (entertainment games, serious games, and gamified applications).
