This book is a comprehensive explanation of graph and model transformation. It contains a detailed introduction, including basic results and applications of the algebraic theory of graph transformations, and references to the historical context. Then in the main part the book contains detailed chapters on M-adhesive categories, M-adhesive transformation systems, and multi-amalgamated transformations, and model transformation based on triple graph grammars. In the final part of the book the authors examine application of the techniques in various domains, including chapters on case studies and tool support. The book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the areas of theoretical computer science, software engineering, concurrent and distributed systems, and visual modelling.
This book provides foundations for software specification and formal software development from the perspective of work on algebraic specification, concentrating on developing basic concepts and studying their fundamental properties. These foundations are built on a solid mathematical basis, using elements of universal algebra, category theory and logic, and this mathematical toolbox provides a convenient language for precisely formulating the concepts involved in software specification and development. Once formally defined, these notions become subject to mathematical investigation, and this interplay between mathematics and software engineering yields results that are mathematically intere...
This book constitutes the documentation of the scientific outcome of the priority program Integration of Software Specification Techniques for Applications in Engineering sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG). It includes main contributions of the projects of the priority program and of additional international experts in the field. Some of the papers included were presented at the related Third International Workshop on the topic, INT 2004, held in Barcelona, Spain in March 2004. The 25 revised full papers presented together with 6 section introductions by the volume editors were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on reference case study production automation, reference case study traffic control systems, petri nets and related approaches in engineering, charts, verification, and integration modeling.
This book presents selected tutorial lectures given at the summer school on Multi-Agent Systems and Their Applications held in Prague, Czech Republic, in July 2001 under the sponsorship of ECCAI and Agent Link. The 20 lectures by leading researchers in the field presented in the book give a competent state-of-the-art account of research and development in the field of multi-agent systems and advanced applications. The book offers parts on foundations of MAS; social behaviour, meta-reasoning, and learning; and applications.
This volume contains the proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems (TACAS 2004). TACAS 2004 took place in Barcelona, Spain, from March 29th to April 2nd, as part of the 7th European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS 2004), whose aims, organization, and history are detailed in a foreword by the ETAPS Steering Committee Chair, Jos ́ e Luiz Fiadeiro. TACAS is a forum for researchers, developers, and users interested in ri- rously based tools for the construction and analysis of systems. The conference serves to bridge the gaps between di?erent communities including, but not - mited to, those d...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Graph Transformations, ICGT 2006. The book presents 28 revised full papers together with 3 invited lectures. All current aspects in graph drawing are addressed including graph theory and graph algorithms, theoretic and semantic aspects, modeling, tool issues and more. Also includes accounts of a tutorial on foundations and applications of graph transformations, and of ICGT Conference satellite events.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science, CALCO 2009, formed in 2005 by joining CMCS and WADT. This year the conference was held in Udine, Italy, September 7-10, 2009. The 23 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions. They are presented together with four invited talks and workshop papers from the CALCO-tools Workshop. The conference was divided into the following sessions: algebraic effects and recursive equations, theory of coalgebra, coinduction, bisimulation, stone duality, game theory, graph transformation, and software development techniques.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second International Conference on Software Language Engineering, SLE 2009, held in Denver, CO, USA, in October 2009. The 15 revised full papers and 6 revised short paper presented together with 2 tool demonstration papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 75 initial submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on language and model evolution, variability and product lines, parsing, compilation, and demo, modularity in languages, and metamodeling and demo.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 21st International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques, WADT 2012, held in June 2012, in Salamanca, Spain. The 16 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 25 presentations. The workshop deals with the following topics: foundations of algebraic specification; other approaches to formal specification including process calculi and models of concurrent, distributed and mobile computing; specification languages, methods, and environments; semantics of conceptual modeling methods and techniques; model-driven development; graph transformations, term rewriting and proof systems; integration of formal specification techniques; formal testing and quality assurance; validation, and verification.
The refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Web Engineering, ICWE 2003, held in Oviedo, Spain in July 2003. The 25 revised full papers and 73 short papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 190 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on agents on the Web, e-commerce, e-learning, human-computer interaction, languages and tools, mobility and the Web, multimedia techniques and telecommunications, security, Web quality and testing, semantic Web, and Web applications development.
