Synopsis

ICGT 2002 was the ?rst International Conference on Graph Transformation following a series of six international workshops on graph grammars with - plications in computer science, held in Bad Honnef (1978), Osnabruc ¨ k (1982), Warrenton (1986), Bremen (1990), Williamsburg (1994), and Paderborn (1998). ICGT 2002 was held in Barcelona (Spain), October 7–12, 2002 under the a- pices of the European Association of Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS), the European Association of Software Science and Technology (EASST), and the IFIP Working Group 1.3, Foundations of Systems Speci?cation. The scope of the conference concerned graphical structures of various kinds (like graphs, diagrams, visual sentences and others) that are useful to describe complex structures and systems in a direct and intuitive way. These structures are often augmented by formalisms which add to the static description a further dimension, allowing for the modeling of the evolution of systems via all kinds of transformations of such graphical structures. The ?eld of Graph Transformation is concerned with the theory, applications, and implementation issues of such formalisms. The theory is strongly related to areas such as graph theory and graph - gorithms, formal language and parsing theory, the theory of concurrent and distributed systems, formal speci?cation and veri?cation, logic, and semantics.

About this title

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Graph Transformations, ICGT 2002, held in Barcelona, Spain in October 2002. The 26 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected by the program committe. Also included are abstracts of 3 invited papers, a tutorial, the extended abstract of a tutorial, and 5 reports of workshops held in conjunction with ICGT. The papers deal with various graphical structures that are useful to describe complex systems and computational structures, like graphs, diagrams, visual sentences, and others. Graph transformations are stongly related to graph theory, graph algorithms, formal language and parsing theory, the theory of concurrent and distributed systems, formal specification and verification, and logic and semantics.
