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.

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.} }
