(Sorry if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Joint APPLIGRAPH/GETGRATS Workshop on Graph Transformation Systems (GRATRA 2000) March 25 - 27, as Satellite Event of ETAPS 2000, March 27 - April 1, 2000 Berlin, Germany ------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://tfs.cs.tu-berlin.de/gratra2000 http://iks.cs.tu-berlin.de/etaps2000 Submission Deadline: November 15, 1999 OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOP -------------------------- Graphical representations and graphs are extremely useful to model complex structures in many fields of computer science. Graph transformation is the rule-based manipulation of such graphs. The final workshop of APPLIGRAPH and GETGRATS intends to bring together leading researchers in theory and application of graph transformation and researchers in other areas of ETAPS who are interested in graph transformation. For this reason, this workshop is not restricted to members of the teams of APPLIGRAPH and GETGRATS, but open for anybody. The contributions during the workshop will be based on extended abstracts selected by an international program committee. After the workshop two special issues of journals will be published focusing on selected contributions of the workshop. Further Information: APPLIGRAPH: http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/grp/ag-ti/appligraph/ GETGRATS: http://www.di.unipi.it/~andrea/GETGRATS/ MAIN TOPICS ----------- Major topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: Fundamentals: Node, edge and hyperedge replacement, algebraic and logical approaches, term graph rewriting, graph theoretical properties, concurrency, distributivity and semantics, high-level replacement systems, structuring concepts, analysis techniques for graphs and graph transformation. Applications: languages and tools based on graph transformation, application of graph transformation to visual languages, database and information systems, concurrent and distributed systems, CSCW, distributed business process reengineering, design/implementation of programming languages, software engineering. FORM AND SIZE OF CONTRIBUTIONS ------------------------------ Submitted extended abstracts of about 8 LNCS pages should report recent and ongoing research work. Electronic submission to gratra2000@tfs.cs.tu-berlin.de is strongly recommended. We would like to encourage people to submit full papers to the main conferences of ETAPS 2000 and allow to have extended abstracts of the the same subject as submission for GRATRA 2000, in parallel. If both are accepted, the lecture will be held at the ETAPS conference, but also announced during GRATRA 2000. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- November 15, 1999 - Deadline for Submission of Extended Abstracts January 20, 2000 - Notification of Acceptance/ Rejection February 20, 2000 - Final Version of Extended Abstract PROGRAM COMMITTEE ----------------- M.

Ehrig Institut für Kommunikation und Softwaretechnik Sekr. FR 6-1 TU Berlin Franklinstr. 28/29 D-10587 Berlin, Tel: 49-30-314-73510 Contact: Hartmut Ehrig, gratra2000@tfs.cs.tu-berlin.de ORGANIZERS ---------- The area of graph transformation is supported by the TMR Research Network GETGRATS (General Theory of Graph Transformation Systems) where the emphasis is on theoretical aspects and on training of young researchers. It is further supported by the ESPRIT Working Group APPLIGRAPH (Applications of Graph Transformation). This workshop is a joint workshop of APPLIGRAPH and GETGRATS. It is organized as satellite event of the conference ETAPS 2000 (European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software) at the Technische Universität Berlin. The workshop is organized by H. Ehrig and G. Taentzer (local organizers) in cooperation with A. Corradini (GETGRATS coordinator) and H.-J. Kreowski (APPLIGRAPH coordinator). -- E-mail: gratra2000@tfs.cs.tu-berlin.de
