Welcome to the 3rd International Workshop on Games and Software Engineering: Engineering Computer Games to Enable Positive, Progressive Change (GAS 2013) Welcome to the 3rd ICSE Workshop on Games and Software Engineering (GAS): Engineering Computer Games to Enable Positive, Progressive Change is held on May 18, 2013 in San Francisco, U.S.A., located with the 2013 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering. We are pleased to build upon the first two ICSE GAS Workshops and provide a forum to interactively explore leading edge research in game software engineering from a number of perspectives, including (1) how the challenging requirements (functional and non-functional) of games influence methodologies; (2) the role of games in education, whether as projects in courses, a teaching tool to complement traditional lectures, or in student competitions to motivate and reward GAS skills; (3) exploring reuse in GAS to reduce development time, improve software quality through the use of product lines, libraries, frameworks, engines, domain assets, and game modifications by the player; (4) revisit scalability and alternative platforms from the technical viewpoint (mini-games for phones to massive open on-line courses). The full day program is organized to offer an interesting mix of activities including a keynote speaker, panel discussion, paper presentations, and an informal poster session; the intent is to promote discussions and interactions among the participants. The workshop has accepted nine high quality submissions from research groups across Asia, Europe, North America, and Northern Europe (six long and three short). Kendra M. L. Cooper, Walt Scacchi, and Alf Inge Wang GAS 2013 Workshop Co-chairs
