Software Engineering within Social Software Environments

The full-day SENSE'09 workshop covers research issues about social software and software engineering including Web 2.0 business models. The main question is how both approaches can be combined in a new social software engineering methodology. Due to the new business models of the Web 2.0 and the new generation of Web users the development of social software requires a new SE approach. At the same time social software brings new possibilities for the SE process. Building on the positive experiences from the open source community we propose the term “social software engineering” which should include both Web 2.0 style engineering and engineering of the social software. The workshop will bring together researchers from SE area together with social software researchers to discuss these issues in detail.

Topics

Due to the new business models of the Web 2.0 and the new generation of Web users the development of social software requires a new SE approach. At the same time social software brings new possibilities for the SE process. Building on the positive experiences from the open source community we propose the term “social software engineering” which should include both Web 2.0 style engineering and engineering of the social software. Communication between different stakeholders, developers and end-users is an essential aspect for successful software engineering (SE). SE presents a social process that has to be supported by the communication enabling tools. SE-participants can express their opinion and exchange their ideas. With the globalization of software production, the social software can serve as a good option for socialization of SE processes. Special about social software is, firstly, its meritocracy; secondly, its extreme user-orientation and, thirdly, its focus on emerging scale-free structures. However, it is not enough to create tools using Web 2.0 business models. The development of social software is a social process itself. Using certain social software for SE, a community experiences endless evolution and requires continuous adaptation of tools to their changing needs. Therefore, the development of social software opens a new challenge for design of SE. The goal of the workshop is to bring together the researchers and practices interested in engineering process of social software, which in turn should/could be applied during software engineering. During the workshop a state-of-the-art discussion on advanced research and open issues on social software engineering will take place. The special focus will be put on design process and design guidelines of social systems created for SE support.
