Abstract

The research area of graph grammars or graph transformations is a discipline of computer science which dates back to the 1970s. Methods, techniques, and results from this area have already been studied and applied in many fields of computer science, such as formal language theory, pattern recognition, the modeling of concurrent and distributed systems, database design and theory, logical and functional programming, model and program transformation, syntax and semantics of visual languages, refactoring of programs and software systems, process algebras, and Petri nets. This wide applicability is due to the fact that graphs are a very natural way of explaining complex situations on an intuitive level. Hence, they are used in computer science almost everywhere.
