History
SoSyM was established in 2002 and emerged from the Models conference series, which at that time was called UML.
The concept of the journal goes back on ideas of Jean Bezivin, Robert France, Pierre-Alain Muller and Bernhard Rumpe. Robert and Bernhard started the journal as Editors-In-Chief. Robert was active Editor-In-Chief until 2015.
Due to the steady increase of published papers, in 2013 three additional associate editors, namely Marsha Chechik, Martin Gogolla, and Jean-Marc Jezequel where appointed.
