Benefitting from Grey Literature in Software Engineering Research (Tutorial Summary)

Grey literature is becoming more and more important as a source of knowledge because software engineering practitioners write and share information in different forms of grey literature like blogs, videos or white papers. The overall goal of this tutorial is to present ways in which software engineering research can benefit from the vast amount of information covered by grey literature. The participants of this tutorial will learn how grey literature can be used for various aspects of software engineering research, e.g., shaping new directions of research, or using knowledge and evidence from grey literature in empirical studies of software engineering.
