Scope and Objectives
|
Graphs
are a general kind of models which have been used in various fields of
computer science. On one hand, they are well-suited to formally
describe complex structures. On the other hand, the underlying
structure of models, especially visual models, can be described best by
graphs, due to their multidimensional extension. Graphs can be
manipulated by graph transformation in a rule-based manner. Considering
current trends in software development such as model driven engineering
and model-integrated computing, there is an emerging need to describe
model manipulations, model evolution, model semantics, etc. in a
precise way. Recent research has shown that graph transformation is a
promising formalism to specify model transformations.
The goal of the workshop is to foster interaction between the graph transformation and the model transformation community to facilitate exchange of results and challenge problems. The graph transformation research community has built up a significant body of knowledge over the past 30 years and in addition to the theoretical base several practical implementations have been created. The research area of model transformations has recently been identified as a key subject in model-driven development. Graph transformations could offer an elegant theory and powerful concepts for the model-driven engineering of software systems, while the software engineering community can generate interesting challenges for the graph transformation community. Therefore, there is a need for strong interaction and inter-operation between these communities: the intellectual interchange of ideas, problems, and solutions will lead to major advances in both fields. |
