Abstract
Graph transitions represent an extension of the DPO approach to graph transformation for the specification of reactive systems. In this paper, we develop the theory of concurrency for graph transitions. In particular, we prove a local Church–Rosser theorem and define a notion of shift-equivalence that allows us to represent both intra-concurrency (within the specified subsystem) and inter-concurrency (between subsystem and environment). Via an implementation of transitions in terms of DPO transformations with context rules, a second, more restrictive notion of equivalence is defined that captures, in addition, the extra-concurrency (between operations of the environment). As a running example and motivation, we show how the concepts of this paper provide a formal model for distributed information systems.
