SSE has been organized successfully in Munich, Kaiserslautern, and Paderborn in conjunction with the Software Engineering conference (SE’08, SE’09, and SE'10). In 2009, we merged the original community with the community of the SENSE workshop (Software ENgineering within Social Software Environments). In 2010, we merged the new community with the SoSEA workshop (Social Software Engineering and Applications) held at ASE’08 and ASE’09.
The most recent SSE was in 2011, co-located with ESEC/FSE in Szeged, Hungary. For 2013, SSE has merged with the web2SE workshop held at ICSE 2010 and ICSE 2011.
