Strüber (abstract, Zoom and YouTube links attached below) The GReTA seminar series aims to serve as a platform for the international graph rewriting community, to promote recent developments and trends in the field, and to permit a regular networking and interaction between members of this community. Seminars are scheduled twice a month (cf. https://www.irif.fr/~greta/#talks for a list of upcoming events).

When creating new variants, developers typically rely on the "clone and own" strategy of copying and modifying existing variants, a simple and intuitive approach with significant long-term disadvantages. In this talk, I present a line of work on supporting variants in software engineering by explicitly addressing variability as a feature in graph transformations. I focus on three transformation scenarios: one where the input graph has variability (representing the established notion of a software product line), one where rules have variability (leading to variability-based rules), and a combination of the first two scenarios. Each scenario is supported with formal constructions, efficient transformation algorithms, and tool support. Our work shows that a systematic way of supporting variability in transformations can improve the maintainability and the performance of a software system.
