[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ============================================================================== Last Call for Papers ICGT 2016 9th International Conference on Graph Transformation www.graph-transformation.org Held as Part of STAF 2016 http://staf2016.conf.tuwien.ac.at/ July 5-6, 2016, Vienna, Austria ============================================================================== Important Dates: Paper submission: 29 February 2016 Notification of acceptance: 07 April 2016 Final version due: 21 April 2016 Conference: 5-6 July 2016 ============================================================================== Invited Speaker: We are pleased to announce Juergen Dingel (Queen's University, Ontario, Canada) as invited speaker. ============================================================================== Scope: Graphs are used almost everywhere when representing or modelling structures and systems, not only in applied and theoretical computer science, but also in, e.g., natural and engineering sciences. Graph transformation and graph grammars are the fundamental modelling paradigms for describing, formalizing, and analyzing graphs that change over time when modelling, e.g., dynamic data structures, systems, or models. The International Conference on Graph Transformation (ICGT) series aims to bring together researchers from different areas in this context and to provide a forum for presenting new results, discussing novel ideas and sharing experience. In order to foster a lively exchange of perspectives on the subject of the conference, the programme committee of the ninth edition of ICGT encourages all kinds of contributions related to graph transformation. Topics of interest include, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO the following subjects: - General models of graph transformation (e.g., high-level, adhesive, node, edge, and hyperedge replacement systems) - Analysis and verification of graph transformation systems - Graph theoretical properties of graph languages - Automata on graphs and parsing of graph languages - Logical aspects of graph transformation - Computational models based on graph transformation - Structuring and modularization concepts for graph transformation systems - Hierarchical graphs and decompositions of graphs - Parallel, concurrent, and distributed graph transformation - Modelling and analysis of dynamic data structures - Term graph rewriting - Graph transformation and Petri nets - Ontologies and ontology evolution - Graph databases - Modelling and realizing software architectures, refactoring, evolution, workflows, business processes, access control, security policies, service-oriented applications, semantic web, ... - Natural language processing, natural computing, bioinformatics, quantum computing, ubiquitous computing, visual computing, image generation, natural and engineering sciences, ... - Model-driven development and model transformation based on graph transformation - Model checking, program verification, simulation and animation - Syntax, semantics and implementation of programming languages, domain-specific languages, and visual languages - Graph transformation languages and tool support - Efficient algorithms (pattern matching, graph traversal etc.) The 9th International Conference on Graph Transformation (ICGT 2016) will be held in Vienna, Austria, as a STAF event (http://staf2016.conf.tuwien.ac.at/). The conference takes place under the auspices of EATCS (http://www.eatcs.org/), EASST (http://www.easst.org/), and IFIP (http://www.ifip.org/) WG 1.3.

Additional material intended for reviewers but not for publication in the final version may be included in a clearly marked appendix. * Case studies (limited to 12 pages in Springer LNCS format) describe applications of graph transformations in any application domain. * Tool presentation papers (limited to 12 pages in Springer LNCS format) demonstrate the main features and functionality of graph-based tools. A tool presentation paper may have an appendix with a detailed demo description (up to 5 pages), which will be reviewed but not included in the proceedings. Papers can be submitted at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icgt2016. Submitted papers must use Springer's LNCS format (http://www.springer.com/lncs). Simultaneous submission to other conferences with proceedings or submission of material that has already been published elsewhere is not allowed. The page limits are strict and include references. Proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (http://www.springer.com/lncs) series. Important Dates --------------- Paper submission: 29 February 2016 Notification of acceptance: 07 April 2016 Final version due: 21 April 2016 Conference: 5-6 July 2016 Further Information ------------------- Web page: http://www.graph-transformation.org https://sites.google.com/site/icgt2016/ Contact: icgt2016@gmail.comollege, Norway)
