Aims and Scope:
---------------
GT-VMT 2013 is the twelfth workshop of a series that serves as a forum for  all 
researchers and practitioners interested in the use of visual notations  
(especially graph-based), techniques and tools for the specification,  
modeling, validation, manipulation and verification of complex systems. 

The aim of the workshop is to promote engineering approaches that provide  
effective sound tool support for visual modeling languages, enhancing formal 
reasoning at the syntactic as well as semantic level (e.g., for model 
specification, model analysis, model transformation, and model consistency 
management) in different domains, such as UML, Petri Nets, Graph Transformation 
or Business Process/Workflow Models.

This year's workshop has a special theme of the analysis of non-functional / 
extra-functional / quality properties like performance, real-time, safety, 
reliability, energy consumption. We particularly encourage submissions that 
focus on the definition and the evaluation of such properties using 
visual/graph specification techniques, ranging from underlying theory through 
to their utility in complex system design.

GT-VMT 2013 is co-located with ETAPS 2013, the European Joint Conferences  on 
Theory and Practice of Software (see http://www.etaps.org/2013/), in  Rome, 
Italy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics of Interest:
-------------------
As a summary, topics relevant to the scope of the workshop include (but are  
not restricted to) the following:
+ visual languages definition and syntax (incl. meta-modelling, grammars and  
graphical parsing);
+ static and dynamic semantics of visual languages (incl. OCL, graph  
constraints, simulation, animation, compilation);
+ visual/graph-based analysis in software engineering (incl. testing,  
verification and validation, static and dynamic analysis techniques);
+ visual/graph constraints (incl. definition, expressiveness, analysis  
techniques involving constraints);
+ model transformations and their application in model-driven development 
(incl. in particular, transformations between graphical and textual formalisms);
+ visual modeling techniques and graph transformation applied to patterns;
+ visual modeling techniques and graph transformations for systems with quality 
properties like performance, real-time, safety, reliability, energy consumption
+ case studies and novel application areas (e.g. within engineering,  biology, 
etc);
+ tool support and efficient algorithms.
