The IEEE CTS ComSoc-SP Society invites you to a talk on the "Networking and Computing Requirements for Video Games: Current Trends and Solutions".

 

Abstract:
Speaker Harlan "Tytus" Beverly will delve the dark mysteries of the online gaming market and networked game development in the unusual industry that is gaming.  The online gaming market has grown from virtually $0 to over $70Billion/yr market in less than 15 years, and now dominates the gaming industry.  Harlan will explore what has fueled this growth, and how specific games and networking technologies have 'leveled up' the industry at distinct moments.  Harlan will also explain how networked game development's unique software development, deployment, and testing challenges have led to industry-wide practices that may have applicability in other industries.
