Preface

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 first-class elements that drive both the software development
   activities and the other model-based tasks in the context of a software engi-
   neering 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 sys-
   tems, model merging mechanisms, systems for model conflicts management
   and visualization).

The proceedings of COMMitMDE 2016 include four extended abstracts of in-
vited talks delivered during the workshop, as well as five full papers. We would
like to thank the members of the Program Committee of the workshop for their
insightful reviews, as well as the invited speakers and authors for their contri-
butions to an exciting programme.
