Scope and Objectives
|
Graphs are a general kind of models
that 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 multi-dimensional
extension. Graphs can be manipulated by graph transformation in a
rule-based manner. Considering current trends in software development
such as model driven development (MDD) and model-integrated computing
(MIC), there is an emerging need to describe model manipulations such
as 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. We believe 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. |
Contributions |
Anticipated submissions are
position papers with emphasis on results from actual research and not
more than 12 pages long. Papers could be full research papers, but
papers presenting preliminary or intermediate results are also
encouraged. General topics of interest include, but are not restricted
to:
The following topics are of special interest and importance: (1) Verification of transformations (2) Building bridges between languages, notations, and semantics We especially solicit submissions in these areas, and plan to organize discussions on these subjects at the workshop. If you submit a paper in these areas, please indicate it in the keywords. The program committee is happy to advice on the appropriateness of a particular subject. |
| The workshop is one of the
networking activities of the European Research Training Network "Syntax and Semantics of Visual Modeling
Techniques" (Segravis). Additionally, the workshop is supported by
the European Association of Software
Science
and Technology (EASST). |

Submission |
Authors are invited to submit a
title and abstract by June 19, 2006, and a full paper by June 26,
2006. Submissions are to be sent to the workshop organizers
via email, in PDF or PS form. Simultaneous submission to other venues
and submission of previously published material are not allowed.
Electronic submission will be required, except by special arrangement
with the program chairs. Authors will be notified of acceptance by July
24, 2006. Final, camera-ready versions of accepted papers must be
submitted by August 28, 2006. All submissions will undergo a review process by the program committee. The proceedings of this workshop will be published in the journal Electronic Communications of the EASST. A preliminary version of the proceedings will be available at the workshop. |
