SECRIOUS

The Secrious project aims to cross several disciplines in order to put People at the Heart of Software Engineering. Our academic team – from the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences (MACS) at Heriot-Watt University (HWU), the School of Simulation and Visualisation (SimVis) at Glasgow School of Art (GSoA) and the Department of Social Anthropology at University of St Andrews (UStA) – combines the necessary experience in human-computer interaction, software engineering, serious games, anthropology and software security. It is complemented by our partners with industrial and artistic expertise in secure software engineering, public engagement and creative writing.

Security is an abstract concept which combined with the dematerialised world of software systems is difficult to grasp, comprehend and experience. This project aims to engage new code-citizens in making the security of software code tangible through the design of serious games.
