Collaborative modeling is a key enabler to engineering complex systems. While mostly focusing on the technical and technological aspects of collaboration, the MDE community has also recognized the need for more pronounced stakeholder-facing concerns in collaborative modeling techniques and tools. Such stakeholder-facing concerns are the ones researched under the participatory modeling umbrella. We aim to expose the synergies between collaborative and participatory modeling by inviting researchers and organizers from both communities.
