Invited Speakers
================

We are pleased to announce the following invited speakers:

- Javier Esparza, University of Munich (joint keynote speaker with SPIN 2010)
- Krzysztof Czarnecki, University of Waterloo
- Christoph Brandt, University of Luxembourg


Scope
=====

Graphs 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. When  systems evolve we are  interested  in the  way  they change, to
predict, support, or  react to their  evolution. Graph transformation  combines
the idea of graphs as a universal modelling paradigm with a rule-based approach
to specify evolution.  The area  is concerned  with both  the theory of   graph
transformation and their application to a variety of domains.

The   conference aims at     bringing  together researchers and   practitioners
interested  in  the foundations  and application  of  graph transformation to a
variety of areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to

    * Foundations and theory of
          o General models of graph transformation
          o High-level and adhesive replacement systems
          o Node-, edge-, and hyperedge replacement grammars
          o Parallel, concurrent, and distributed graph transformation

          o Analysis and verification of graph transformation systems
          o Structuring and modularization concepts for transformation systems
          o Graph transformation and Petri nets

    * Languages, tool support and applications in
          o Software architecture
          o Workflows and business processes
