Final Call for Papers
10th International Conference on Graph Transformation
ICGT 2017
Marburg (Germany), 18-19 July 2017
Part of STAF 2017

Aims and Scope
---------------------------------
Dynamic
structures are a major cause for complexity when it comes to model and
reason about systems. They occur in software architectures, models,
pointer structures, databases, networks, etc. As collections of
interrelated elements, which may be added, removed, or change state,
they form a fundamental modelling paradigm as well as a means to
formalise and analyse systems. Applications include architectural
reconfigurations, model transformations, refactoring, and evolution of a
wide range of artefacts, where change can happen either at design time
or at run time.
Based on the observation that these structures
can be represented as graphs and their modifications as graph
transformations, theory and applications of graphs, graph grammars and
graph transformation systems have been studied in our community for more
than 40 years. The conference aims at fostering interaction within this
community as well as attracting researchers from other areas, either in
contributing to the theory of graph transformation or by applying graph
transformation to established or novel areas.
The 10th
International Conference on Graph Transformation (ICGT 2017) will be
held in Marburg, Germany, as part of STAF 2017 (Software Technologies:
Applications and Foundations). The conference takes place under the
auspices of EATCS, EASST, and IFIP WG 1.3. Proceedings will be published
by Springer
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, and a special
issue has been confirmed with the Journal of Logic and Algebraic Methods
in Programming (Elsevier).

-
Applications and case studies of graph transformation in software
engineering, including software architectures, refactoring, business
processes, access control and service-orientation

Submission Guidelines
---------------------------------
Papers can be submitted at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icgt2017 using Springer's LNCS format (http://www.springer.com/lncs),
and should contain original research. Simultaneous submission to other
conferences with proceedings or submission of material that has already
been published elsewhere is not allowed. All submissions will be peer
reviewed by members of the program committee and external subreviewers.
Papers are solicited in three categories:
- Research papers
(16 pages max) are evaluated with respect to their originality,
significance, and technical soundness. Additional material intended for
reviewers may be included in a clearly marked appendix.
- Case studies (12 pages max) describe applications of graph transformations in any application domain.
-
Tool presentation papers (12 pages max) demonstrate the main features
and functionality of graph-based tools. These papers may have an
appendix with a detailed demo description (up to 5 pages), which will be
reviewed but not included in the proceedings.
Special Issue
---------------------------------
A
special issue of the Journal of Logic and Algebraic Methods in
Programming (Elsevier) will be devoted to extended versions of the best
ICGT'17 papers.
