[Apologies for multiple copies of this announcement] CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ICGT 2004 2nd International Conference on Graph Transformation Roma (Italy), September 28 - October 2, 2004 The second International Conference on Graph Transformation ICGT 2004, along with several satellite events, will be held in Roma at the end of September 2004. It follows the first ICGT 2002 (Barcelona, October 2002) 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. The proceedings will appear in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series by Springer-Verlag. The conference is co-located with IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human Centric Computing (VL/HCC), September 26-29, 2004, allowing its participants to have a closer look at this important, related field. 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 where static and dynamic modeling by graphical structures and graph transformations, respectively, play an important role. Invited speakers. Andy Evans (York, UK), Ravi Sandhu (Fairfax, VA USA), Margaret-Anne Storey (Victoria, BC Canada) (joint speaker with VL/HCC) Program committee.
