Abstract :
Networked games in the context of the emerging technologies of cloud and mobile computing facilitate an enhanced gaming experience for consumers. Software engineers will be continually challenged to offer more realistic games in the context of ever more distributed systems, complexity in new game-delivery platforms, and the uncertainty in performance considering uneven computational environments.
