Aims and Scope

GT-VMT 2008 is the seventh workshop of a series that serves as a forum for all researchers and practitioners interested in the use of graph-based notation, techniques and tools for the specification, modeling, validation, manipulation and verification of complex systems. Due to the variety of languages and methods used in different domains, the aim of the workshop is to promote engineering approaches that starting from high-level specifications and robust formalizations allow for the design and the implementation of such visual modeling techniques, hence providing effective tool support at the semantic level (e.g., for model analysis, transformation, and consistency management). Contributions are welcome from communities working on popular visual modeling notations like UML, Petri nets, Graph Transformation, Business Process/Workflow Models.

This year's workshop will have an additional focus on visualization, simulation, and animation of models as means of providing an intuitive representation of both their static semantics and for the validation of model behavior.

Suggested areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• visual language definition (incl. metamodelling, grammars, graphical parsing, etc.),
• static semantics of visual languages (incl. OCL, graph patterns, etc.),
• dynamic semantics of visual languages (incl. simulation, animation, compilation, etc.),
• model transformations (within and) between languages and their application in model-driven development,
• visual language analysis (incl. verification & validation, static analysis techniques),
• model / graph-based approaches to novel architectural paradigms like service-oriented, GRID, and P2P computing, context-aware and adaptive applications, etc.
• application of graph transformations and visual modeling techniques in engineering, biology, and medicine
• case studies and novel application areas
• tool support and efficient algorithms
