Preface
As Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is increasingly applied to larger and more complex
systems, the current generation of modelling and model management technologies are
being pushed to their limits in terms of capacity and efficiency. As such, additional
research and development is imperative in order to enable MDE to remain relevant to
industrial practice and to continue delivering its widely-recognised productivity, quality,
and maintainability benefits.
  The BigMDE workshop (http://www.big-mde.eu/) has been co-located with the Soft-
ware Technologies: Applications and Foundations (STAF 2016) conference. BigMDE
2016 provided a forum for developers and users of modelling and model management
languages and tools to present and discuss problems and solutions related to scalability
aspects of MDE, including:

   • Working with large models

   • Collaborative modelling (version control, collaborative editing)

   • Transformation and validation of large models

   • Model fragmentation and modularity mechanisms

   • Efficient model persistence and retrieval

   • Models and model transformations on the cloud

   • Visualization techniques for large models

   • High-performance MDE

   • Identification of scalability and performance issues in MDE

  Contributions from the community were essential for the success of BigMDE 2016.
In particular, we would like to acknowledge the hard work of all Program Committee
members for the timely delivery of reviews given the tight review schedule, and to thank
the authors for submitting and presenting their work in the workshop.
