        Software and Systems Modeling with Graph Transformations

      Special Issue of the Journal on Software and Systems Modeling

 

Over the years model-based development has gained rapidly increasing popularity

in various engineering disciplines. Numerous efforts have resulted in the

invention of an abundance of appropriate modeling concepts, languages, and tools.

Today modeling activities often span multiple disciplines and have to be addressed

by collaborative efforts across disciplines such as industrial automation,

business engineering, hardware/software co-design, real-time system development,

Web 2.0 application design, and so forth.

 

As a consequence "model-based development" techniques related to the analysis and

synchronization of families of models that are concurrently developed by different

engineers on different levels of abstraction play a major role in many software

and systems development projects.

 

Graphs, on the other hand, are among the simplest and most universal models for a

variety of systems, not just in computer science, but throughout engineering and

the life sciences. Graph transformations combine the idea of graphs as a universal

modelling paradigm with a rule-based mathematically well-founded approach to

specify their evolution. As a consequence graph transformation concepts, languages,

and tools offer an appropriate framework for specifying and simulating as well as

for predicting and verifying critical properties of model transformations in

different application domains such as ...

 

 * Bioinformatics and system biology

 * Civil engineering

 * Embedded & mechatronic system development

 * Image generation and pattern recognition techniques

 * Process control engineering

 * Self-adaptive systems and ubiquitous computing

 * Workflows and business processes

 

The Journal on Software and Systems Modeling therefore invites original,

high-quality submissions for its theme issue on

 

   "Software and Systems Modeling with Graph Transformations"

 

focusing on foundations, applications, and tools that rely on graph transformation

theory and offer nevertheless practical support for the enactment of model-based

engineering processes.
