The CoMetS track aims to bring together leading researchers and practitioners from both the modeling and simulation (M\&S) community and the collaborative environments community, in order to focus on innovative research contributions that address both the use of collaborative technologies in the field of M\&S and the use of M\&S methodologies and tools to address the design of collaborative systems. This paper reports on the motivations of the track and the organization of its fifth edition. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.

The simulation-based analysis of business processes (BPs) is a key activity at various phases of the BP lifecycle. from the design phase, to predict the process behavior, down to the execution and improvement phases, to recover from possible performance downgrades and/or improve the process performance. The BP analysis is usually carried out taking as input the BP description in a given BP modeling language. This paper specifically addresses BPs described in BPMN (Business Process Model \& Notation) and introduces an approach that exploits both model-driven principles and the DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) formalism to first annotate the BPMN model with the allocation of task resources described in terms of performance and reliability properties and then transform the annotated BPMN model into a DEVS-based model, which can be eventually executed to get the analysis results of interest. The BPMN annotation is carried out by use of PyBPMN, a lightweight BPMN extension that allows business analysts to specify the allocation of task resources and their properties in terms of both time-related attributes and reliability attributes. The paper overviews the proposed approach and gives the details of the DEVS components that are used to model the behavior of the corresponding BPMN primitives. {\textcopyright} 2016 Society for Modeling \& Simulation International (SCS).

Particularly, the Object-Role Modeling language-the most prominent conceptual data modeling language-offers verbalization capabilities that ensure a common semantic understanding of the data specification, specifically for complex data systems and for non-native English speakers. However, ORM is primarily aimed at data specifications and has been more marginally used for process specifications. The paper reports part of the results on an experimental activity undertaken to probe the use of ORM for conceptual process modeling. In particular, the paper introduces the definitions of referencing capabilities for linking data models to the activity-the fundamental element of a process-models in ORM. Specifically, two new concepts have been identified as potentially necessary for supporting conceptual process modeling using ORM: Extended Facts, for distinguishing current Facts from potentially true Facts, and Set of Facts for indicating the Extended Facts affected by the activity. An activity schema definition also shows how these concepts can support the definition of an ORM interlayer for conceptual process modeling. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.}, keywords = {Collaborative engineering, Conceptual model, Object role models, Object-role modeling, Process Modeling, Processing, Referencing Capabilities}, isbn = {9781479942497}, issn = {15244547}, doi = {10.1109/WETICE.2014.29}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84908400806\&partnerID=40\&md5=301878eb688f9fbb501795ab859a1b44}, author = {Gianni, D. and Bocciarelli, P. and Andrea D{\textquoteright}Ambrogio}, editor = {Reddy S.M.} }
