FourthWorkshop on the globalization of modeling languages (GEMOC 2016)

The fourth edition of the GEMOC workshop was co-located with the MODELS 2016 conference in Saint-Malo, France. Once again, the workshop provided an open forum for sharing experiences, problems and solutions related to the challenges of using multiple modeling languages in the development of complex software-based systems. During the workshop, both well matured and preliminary approaches were presented and discussed, ideas and opinions exchanged, and constructive feedback provided to authors of accepted papers. A major objective was to encourage more collaborations and to consolidate the community that focuses on providing solutions supporting the globalization of domain-specific modeling languages, i.e., the coordinated use of multiple languages throughout the development of complex systems. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions that took place in the 2016 edition of the workshop.
