                         ICGT 2006

     3rd International Conference on Graph Transformation

               http://www.dimap.ufrn.br/icgt2006

 Co-located with the Brazilian Symposium on Formal Methods (SBMF 2006)

              Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
             Sunday 17 - Friday 22 September 2006

The third International Conference on Graph Transformation ICGT 2006,
along with several satellite events, will be held in Natal (Rio Grande
do Norte. Brazil) in the third week of September 2006. It follows the
conferences held in Barcelona (2002) and Rome (2004), and a series of
six international workshops on graph transformation with applications
in computer science held from 1978 to 1998 in Europe and the USA. The
conference takes place under the auspices of EATCS, EASST, and
IFIP WG 1.3.  Best paper awards will be granted by EATCS and EASST.
The proceedings will appear in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series by Springer-Verlag.  The conference is co-located with the
Brazilian Symposium on Formal Methods (SBMF 2006).

Scope.  Graphical structures of various kinds (like graphs, diagrams,
visual sentences and others) are very 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 modelling the evolution of systems via any kind of
transformation of such graphical structures. The field of Graph
Transformation is concerned with the theory, applications and
implementation issues of all these formalisms.

The theory is strongly related to areas such as graph theory and graph
algorithms, formal language and parsing theory, theory of concurrency
and distributed systems, formal specification and verification, logic
and semantics. The application areas include all those fields of
Computer Science, Information Processing, Engineering and Natural
Sciences.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following.

On the more theoretical side:

- General models of graph transformation
- Node-, edge-, and hyperedge replacement graph grammars
- Term graph rewriting
- Parallelism, concurrency, distribution
- Structuring and modularization concepts
- Analysis and verification of graph transformation systems
- Graph based Models of Computations
- Semantics of UML and other visual modelling techniques

On the more applied side:

- Graph tool development
- Graph and Graph Transformation exchange formats
- Visual languages and environments
- Software architecture
- Model based software development
- Petri nets
- Mobile Systems Design
- Security
- Bioinformatics and Bio-computing

Invited speakers:

    Daniel Jackson, Massachussetts Institute of Technology, United States.
    Rafael Lins, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil
    Arend Rensink, University of Twente, The Netherlands
