The aim of COMMitMDE 2016 was to bring together experts in model-driven software engineering and collaborative software engineering to report on and discuss ongoing and future research and development related to collaborative modelling in MDE. In the context of MDE, a collaborative MDE approach is a method or technique in which: { models are the rst-class elements that drive both the software development activities and the other model-based tasks in the context of a software engineering process; { at least one repository exists for managing the persistence of the models; { at least a modelling tool exists for allowing each stakeholder involved in the modelling activities to create, edit, and delete models; { at least a communication means exists for allowing involved stakeholders to be aware of what the other stakeholders collaborating with them are doing (e.g., chat, social network, wiki, asynchronous messaging system, issue tracker); { at least a collaboration means exists for allowing involved stakeholders to work on the modelling artifacts collaboratively (e.g., model versioning systems, model merging mechanisms, systems for model con icts management and visualization).
